    JOHN G. SCOTT

    John G. Scott, who has passed his entire career in Miami county, has been, since February, 1903, a member of the plumbing and sheet metal firm of Hatfield & Scott, at Troy, and is accounted one of the thoroughly informed men of his calling. He is a product of the agricultural districts, having been born on a farm in Miami county, April 29, 1878, a son of Samuel S. and Mary E. (Farver) Scott. The only boy in a family of seven children, he was reared on the home place in the country, where he attended the district schools and assisted his father in the work of the home place. Later he secured added educational advantages in the town schools and began his connection with business affairs as shipping clerk for the Pioneer Pole & Shaft Company, with which he was identified for two years. Next he entered the hardware line, with the firm of Harter & Casley, at Troy, and in February, 1903, severed his connection with that concern to form a partnership with G. B Hatfield, under the style of Hatfield & Scott. This business has become the leader in its line at Troy, where the firm owns a modern establishment, at this time being greatly enlarged to accommodate its fast-growing business. For a time a hardware department was maintained, but this was disposed of in 1913, since which time the business has been confined to sheet metal work and plumbing, and the concern has handled numerous large contracts. Mr. Scott is a public-spirited citizen, always ready to support worthy movements which promise to contribute to the welfare of his community, and during the war period generously gave his aid to the Government's enterprises. He married Mrs. Zella Robinson Conover, daughter of Charles A. Robinson, of Troy, and to this union there have been born two children: Tom and Bob.
