Kenneth Bethune Scott
Kenneth Bethune Scott passed away at 18 years of age, after a lengthy illness. He was the eldest son of Mr and Mrs Harvey W Scott and was a native of Almonte. He was a particularly promising boy, a good student at the High School and a fine athlete. The race he ran two or three years ago when he won the Junior Hundred Yards at the High School sports day was spectacular and was long talked of.
He was a good musician playing the violin well.
Of an engaging disposition he endeared mimself to many and it was a shock to them to learn that there was little or no hope of his recovery, when he became ill. He himself never gave up hope, until the very last, and always spoke cheerfully of his condition.
He was an active member of Bethany United Young People's Society and the Sunday School. He had the faculty of throwing himself, heart and soul, into everthing in which he was interested.
Besides his parents he leaves to mourn his loss two younger brothers - Arthur and Edward.
The deep sympathy of the community found expression in the large attendance at the funeral on Wednesday, and in the magnificent flower tokens. Very impressive services were conducted by Rev. J. R. MacCrimon and Rev. J. T. E. Blanchard. The pallbearers were six of his schoolboy friends; Lawrence Barrowclough, Howard Allison, Eric Smith, Hedley Porter, Kenneth Fraser, and Stewart Johnston. his remains were interred in the auld Kirk Cemetery.

Obituary
World War II veteran Ed Scott died Oct 28
Phillip Ambroziak, Associate editor
Almonte resident and World War II veteran Ed Scott will be remembered for both his heroics and his humanity. Mr. Scott, a lifelong resident of Almonte, died at his home on Malcolm Street Oct 28. He was 85.
"He was just a super guy," remarked fellow WW ll veteran and Almonte resident J.C. Smithson. "I knew him from day one. from school days. We went to public school and high school together, then when the war came along, we both left Almonte."
While in the military, Mr Scott was a member of the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, which in turn was part of the ninth Canadian Infantry Brigade. This allegiance resulted in the young soldier seeing action overseas. According to documentation provided to the Gazette by Smithson, the boat carrying Mr. Scott sailed June 4, 1944 (D-Day) from England to France. Come January 12, 1945 and with snow on the ground, wartime action saw a German patrol; camouflaged in white suits, get too close to an "A" Company platoon, Ed challenged the first figure he saw, eventually shooting him in the head. This occurred around 5:45 a.m.
"They would use various passwords, and at this particular time the password was 'big dick' " Smithson said. "When Eddy asked this fellow for the password and didn't hear 'big dick', he shot him between the eyes."
The alarm brought up the rest of the platoon and they engaged the Germans. Private Scott's shot had killed the officer. It was this incident that earned Mr Scott the prestigious Military Medal. Shortly after receiving the medal, Mr. Scott much correspondence from military dignitaries, including then Governor General Vincent Massey.
"May I congratulate you very warmly indeed on the decoration which you have been awarded." Massey wrote in a letter addressed to Scott. "We are all proud that such fine service as you have given has thus been recognized. With all good wishes in which Mrs Massey joins."
Smithson said that, from what he knew of Mr Scott's personality back then, he would have been a great asset to any and all wartime battles he may of been a part of.
"He was a fast moving fellow who never sat around and did nothing - he was very active." Smithson explained. "He would do anything for his buddies or his fellow man, so I can fully understand why he did hold back during that charge."

Picture

Even when they were boys, Smithson recalled quite a bit of excitement surrounding the things Mr Scott did.
"He was a normal school boy, but a bit gung ho" he stated." He never backed down from too much. I remember when we were in high school; my family was not well enough off for me to have a bicycle, but Eddy had a little bicycle with no fenders. I'd ride on the cross bar and he'd take from the high school, across town and down the Bay hill, which at that time was not paved. I was picking sand out of my teeth a lot back then, but at least I had a ride and didn't have to walk all the way home. He was such a great guy."
Following his return from the war, Mr Scott and his brother Arthur (Dinty) purchased and operated the Superior Restaurant.
"They operated the restaurant for a number of years and did a good job with it" Smithson said. "Their favourite special for us young fellows was the chocolate milkshake. Following his funeral and the gathering at the cemetery, many of us gathered at the superior to talk about Eddy and old times."
"The last time I saw Eddy before the war was probably in early December of 1840," he said. "I spent my last visit before I went overseas at the Superior, having a coke with Eddy and another friend, George Jackman, George was sent to Japan and ended up a prisoner and was executed. His family never really found out what exactly had happened."
Mr Scott had planned to attend this thursday's Remembrance Day ceremony in Almonte, but now his memory will be in the for front of the minds on many on hand to observe Nov 11.
"Ed Scott was a very fine citizen, a great guy who loved to fish and boat, and who had a cottage at White Lake," Smithson recalled. "He really enjoyed getting away and simply enjoying that relaxing lifestyle."
Mr Scott was predeceased by his wife Una Hazel Jelly and his brothers Arthur and Bethune Scott. He is survived by his nephew David (Barbara) Scott, Owen (Sharon) Jelly and rich (Marg) Morgan; nieces Lynn (Jack) Cullen, Judy (Gilles) Belanger, Jan (Les) Reynolds; many great-nephews and great-nieces and cousins.
Visitation and funeral were held at the Kerry funeral Home Oct 30. Rev Heather Kinkaid officiated. Interment was at the Auld Kirk Cemetery.

The family would like to thank friends and neighbours who particularly over the past six years, since Una's death, shared their companionship and company with Ed. Special thanks to Elford Giles, Alan Cochran and Linda and Lindsay Thomas without whom Ed could not have fulfilled his wish to remain in his home. You truly demonstrate the qualities of small town living; the reason Ed was proud to call Almonte his home for 85 years.
