Boston Scotts -
circa 1910
|
|
Third generation Scott descendants living in the Boston area gave this picture to their relatives living in Nova Scotia around 1910. George Scott was a regular summer visitor of his Nova Scotia relatives until about 1919. Along with his children Louise and Ernest and his second wife Fay Farrar he visited in the years around 1914. George may have brought this picture with him from Boston on one of those visits. It remained at Elm Farm, Ste. Croix, where George Scott's family would visit.
Several people in the portrait
including George were identified by Fred C.G. Scott, of Ste. Croix in
2000 and he recalled with
great
affection the visits of his cousins the "Boston Scotts". The letters of
Dorothy
Scott
(Little) who had visited Nova Scotia as a child likewise confirms the
mutual affection.
The discovery by relatives in
Dedham, MA of this webpage and the contact they made by telephone on
American Thanksgiving
2004, helped identify several more names and reconnect another branch
of the family. An original of this family portrait still hangs in the
Dedham home of the youngest person in the picture - Donald Scott Reaves
- a house that is now home to his daugher Carolann Reaves.
