Vol. 3, p. 1216-1217
Book has photo

With well appointed offices in the Flynn-Ames Building in the City
of Muskogee, Doctor SCOTT has secure place as one of the
representative physicians and surgeons of the younger generation in
his native state and is a scion of one of the sterling pioneer
families of Indian Territory, though he was but six months old at the
time of the death of his father.

In the Town of Texanna, in the Cherokee Nation of Indian Territory,
but now in McIntosh County, Oklahoma, Dr. Howell Austin SCOTT was
born on the 27th of August, 1885, and he is a son of Capt. James N.
and Fannie E. (MORRIS) Scott, the former of whom was born and reared
in Mississippi and the latter of whom was born in Georgia, whence she
came with her widowed mother to Indian Territory when she was a girl.
The doctor's older brother, J. W. Scott, is an extensive farmer and
cattle raiser.

Capt. James N. SCOTT served with distinction as a soldier of the
Confederacy during the Civil war, in which he rose to the rank of
captain. From his native state he finally removed to Texas, and from
the Lone Star State he finally made his way to Indian Territory,
where his marriage was solemnized and where he died in the spring of
1886. His widow, who still resides in McIntosh County, subsequently
became the wife of William J. MCCLURE, a substantial farmer and
worthy citizen of the county, and he likewise is now deceased. Doctor
Scott was reared to adult age on the homestead farm of his step-
father, who accorded to him the utmost kindliness and consideration,
and his earlier education was received in the Cherokee National
Seminary, at Tahlequah. In 1907, the year which marked the admission
of Oklahoma as a state of the Union, the doctor completed his
academic course in the Bacone Indian University, in the City of
Muskogee, and while a student in this institution he served as an
assistant teacher, by which means he was able largely to defray the
expenses of his own university of Nashville, at Nashville, Tennessee,
in which institution he was graduated as a member of the class of
1913 and from which he received his degree of Doctor of Medicine.
From May 1st of that year until June 1, 1913, he served as interne
and resident physician at St. Thomas Hospital, one of the leading
institutions of the kind in Nashville, and he then established his
permanent residence in Muskogee, where for one year he was associated
in practice with Dr. F. B. FITE, an old family friend. Since that
time Doctor Scott has conducted an individual practice and has built
up a substantial and representative professional business, with
incidentally secure place in popular confidence and esteem and with a
wide circle of friends in the state that he is proud to claim as the
place of his activity. He is a very active member of the Oklahoma
Baptist Hospital Association, in which he has held for two years the
chair of women's diseases. He is a popular and appreciative member of
the Muskogee County Medical Society and the Oklahoma State Medical
Society, besides which he is identified with the American Medical
Association. His political allegiance is given to the democratic
party, he is affiliated with the Woodmen of the World, and both he
and his wife hold membership in the Baptist Church.

In the year 1912 was solemnized the marriage of Doctor Scott to Miss
Maude Louise SANDERS, a daughter of John W. and Sarah E. (BUTLER)
Sanders, her maternal grandfather, Edward Butler, having been a
prominent character in the history of what is now the State of
Oklahoma. Doctor and Mrs. SCOTT have a daughter, Maude Louise, born
November 25, 1913, and a son, Howell Austin, Jr., born September 12,
1915.
