MRS. SCOTT SERVED ON RELIEF BOARD MORTON SELECTED

Mrs. John Scott celebrated her eighty-ninth birthday on Washington's birthday. She was surrounded by her friends and she passed the day quietly.

She is the last surviving member of the Sanitary Commission, appointed by Governor Morton during the war to administer relief in Richmond. There were four other Richmond women on the commission.

Mrs. Scott makes much of her birthdays because it is the same as that of George Washington and because she's had so many of them.

"It is one of the proud thoughts of my life that I can celebrate on the twenty-second of February every year," she said.

Friends Send Many Flowers

Many friends sent flowers and she received a number of letters from acquaintances at a distance.

She always has enjoyed spendid health until this winter, but she has not been well for several weeks. Her husband preceded her by 30 years.

Mrs. Scott lives with her only son, George H. Scott, at 24 South Eleventh street.

Taking an interest in many forms of activities is Mrs. Scott's prescription for keeping young and living long.
