BROWN TOWNSHIP AND MOORESVILLE

ROBERT R. SCOTT was born in Franklin County, Ind., July 16, 1833, and lived
in the state of Wisconsin from 1842 to 1853, since which time he has made
Brown Township, Morgan County, his home.  The first seventeen years of his
life were spent upon a farm, since when he has been in mercantile business
as much as twenty-five years.  August 13, 1862, he enrolled in Company E,
Twelfth Indiana Volunteers, and served three years.  He was promoted to
Orderly Sergeant almost immediately upon his entering the service, and was
next raised in order to the rank of Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, and
in June, 1863, to that of Captain of the company.  He was with his command
in all the deadly battles through which it passed, and the history of
Indiana's soldiery is augmented no little by the brilliant achievements of
the "gallant Twelfth."  Capt. Scott retired from the mercantile business in
1883, and has since been upon his farm recuperating his health, which had
been somewhat depleted by long confinement at indoor labor.  He entered the
directory of the Mooresville Bank in 1880, and was elected its Vice
President the year following.  In addition to his Mooresville property, he
owns five fine farms in Morgan County.  All his property has been acquired
since the late war by his own industry, and in a strictly legitimate way.
January, 1866, he was married to Mary Hadley, who died in August, 1869, and
in June, 1872, he married Louisa H. Harvey, who has borne him five
children--Mary, Carie, Jennie, Robert H. and Sallie.  Capt. Scott is a
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, belongs to the Masonic Order, is a
Republican in politics, and is a citizen of whom Mooresville may well be proud.
