| Letter* | 20 August 1867 | John Burkhart Scott wrote a letter to Sarah Scott 20 August 1867 Below is the transcription of a letter written by John Burkhart Scott to his aunt, Sarah Scott Purdie in Hawick, Scotland about the death of his father (her brother). by St "Russia" No 224 West 34th St. New York, 20th August 1867 Mrs. Sarah Purdie Hawick My dear aunt, You have doubtless often wondered at never having heard from any of the family of the particulars of the last illness of your late brother William; and I must apologize for not having written to you long since but I was under the impression that my sister would have done so. I now learn that you have never had any word from N. Y. excepting a newspaper and the Memorial card which I trust you received in good season. My father had enjoyed his usual uninterrupted good health almost up to the very day of his death. During the last year of his life he often remarked that he "was getting old" and upon the occasion of what he used to call his anniversary (the day he landed in America - September 26, 1812), he had all his children together to supper and, during the evening indulged in many reminiscences of his early life - both in the old country and here, and he then made the remark - which, alas has proved but too true - that he would not live to see another anniversary. It had been his custom for some years back always to have the children and children's children together on that day and also on Christmas Day. Sometime, during January, this year, he complained of not feeling very well, but to all appearance he was, as he often used the words "just aboot his ordinar;" but he never missed a weekday going "downtown" (as we call it) and dropping in to see some of his old friends who were yet in active business and having a a bit of a chat as was his habit ever since he gave up regular business himself. On Saturday, the 9th of February he went downtown as usual and was at my place of business apparently all right, but on leaving at about noon he had gone but a short distance, when he was taken with a sudden oppression of breathing. He went into a store under the Astor House and sent word immediately by one of the clerks to me. My brother-in-law, John Hutton and myself instantly hastened to where he was and found him much alarmed and in great pain. We procured a carriage and got him to 24th Street as soon as possible and had a physician in immediate attendance. We did not then think him dangerously ill, but he himself said "his time had come." He suffered great pain all through the afternoon and night, was somewhat easier on Sunday morning - but after noon he sank rapidly. His mind was perfectly clear and composed. He knew that his End was approaching and conversed with us all, and with the clergyman, Rev'd. Wm. A. Scott, who was present. Toward the end it became very difficult for him to speak, but he knew us all till the very last. He sank to his rest, peacefully and quietly at 5: 30 o'clock on the Sabbath afternoon. His old friend and partner, William Leggat, was in the room as were also all his children, excepting my sister Sarah (Mrs. Wood) who lives away at the West. However by telegraphing to her, she was enabled to be present at the funeral on the Friday following which was attended by a large circle of his old friends and acquaintances. Many remarked that they had seldom seen so many old faces together as had assembled there to pay their last respects to the memory of their old friend of so many years. There were quite a number present who had attained their 80th year. And thus passed away our loved and honored father - your brother - full of years and sincerely mourned by all who knew him. The cause of his death was constipation of the bowels accompanied by heart disease, but the doctor said that old age was really the cause. He had always enjoyed the blessings of good health and spirits and the last years of his life were passed in comfort in the bosom of his family. He left considerable property (mostly houses) which by his will is to be divided equally among all his children. There are seven of us living - two, Walter and William, having died in infancy. Eliza (Mrs. Hutton), Sarah (Mrs. Wood), Henrietta (Mrs. Douglas) and myself are all married and have families and homes of our own. The other three girls, Margaret, Mary and Charlotte are and have been living at home with their father at 224 West 34th St. By Father's will they will continue to occupy the house at a nominal rent until they die, or get married, when the house is to be sold and the proceeds divided like the rest of his property equally among all the children. There are no special bequests excepting his watch to his grandson, William Scott Wood. Your sister Margaret and brother Robert, who are both living in Ohio, were well at last accounts. Walter Aitken is living on his brother-in-law's place at Hudson in this state. Thomas Aitken is keeping a store in Huntington, Long Island; William Leggat, though now a pretty old man, is in about his usual health. He has had some pretty bad spells at times, but seems to come around again all right. The youngest of my sisters who were at Hawick with Father in 1856, Mrs. Douglas, or Henrietta, had twin boys in March last, shortly after Father's death. We often think how he would have enjoyed seeing them had he lived, but it was not to be. We are all enjoying good health. I had hoped at some time to have visited Hawick, Dovemount, "Lockies Hedge," and all the old places Father used to love to dwell upon in his talk, but with a young family growing up and the necessity of attending closely to business, my chances are but slim of seeing the old country. I can only wait and hope. I trust that you and Mr. Purdie are enjoying good health. My sisters unite with me in kind love to you both and to all our Hawick friends. Hoping that I might at some time have the pleasure of hearing from you, I remain, Very sincerely Your nephew John B. Scott P. S. You may please read this to "Willie" Cochrane or any other of Father's friends in Hawick. JBS. |
