SCOTT - At Santa Ana, Cal., on Sunday, May 13 1917, ALEXANDER B SCOTT, formerly of Carnegie, Pa. Remains will be brought to residence of MARY S PATTON, 557 Washington Ave., Carnegie, Pa., on Friday, May 18, on arrival. Funeral services on Saturday afternoon, May 19 at 2:30 o'clock at the Crafton United Presbyterian Church. Interment in Chartiers Cemetery. Friends of the family and members of Centennial Lodge No 544, F & A M, are respectfully invited to attend. ***

*** A partial obituary notice from a copy of the Pittsburgh Gazette dated May 17 1917 appears to contain the names of the survivors of ALEXANDER B SCOTT: two children, Miss LAVINS SCOTT and WALLACE SCOTT, all of Santa Anna; four sisters, Mrs NATTIE MILLER of Santa Anna, Mrs ELIZA OLLETT of Donora, Mrs BELLE CARNAHAN of McKeesport and Miss ANNA SCOTT of the East End, and one brother, JOHN SCOTT of Bridgeville. He also had two cousins in Carnegie, Mrs ROBERT MATIMER and Miss MARY S PATTON of 557 Washington Avenue. The remains will be brought to their home for burial.

This notice is from the Pittsburgh Press of May 17, 1917, kept as submitted. The contributor cross-referenced ("***") a second, partial notice from the Pittsburgh Gazette of the same date listing his survivors; both texts are kept verbatim, including the Gazette text's "Santa Anna" spelling against the Press notice's "Santa Ana".
