Carrying his 4-year-old son on his shoulders, Scott was wading in comparatively shallow water when he stepped off into a deep pool and sank. Companions first were appraised of the tragedy when they noticed the child struggling in the water and rescued him. Other began searching for Mr. Scott but divers in the party could not find him, and it is said that he never rose to the surface after he disappeared the first time. His body was recovered from the water about 45 minutes later, but life was extinct. Accompanying several friends and neighbors, Mr. Scott had spent Thursday night on the river with a party of Sunday school boys. The group were taking a last swim Friday morning before leaving for home when the accident occurred that shocked and saddened the entire community.

Funeral services were conducted at the Alfalfa Methodist church at 10 a.m. Sunday by Rev. Marion Maguire assisted by Rev. R.M. Templeton.
