Permit me to introduce myself. My name is
James Scott and this evening I came across your web site titled the
Scott Cemetery at Old Davidsonville State Park. You have one grave
listed as unknown and I wish to inform you that the individual laid
to rest there is my great great grandfather Francis B. Scott "aka"
Bum Scott. He was born in Poinsett County in 1848 and died in April
1906. I am a genealogist by hobby and have been researching F.B
Scott and my family history for the past 10 years. It was always
assumed that the large flat stone that lay in the cemetery was his
grave marker but there were no visible markings on it to
substantiate this. One evening approximately 4 years ago about dusk
I was visiting the cemetery and standing looking at the stone
wondering why it was never marked. The sun was low in the west and
standing back looking at it suddenly I saw the faint letters of F B
Scott on the surface in black. That was all that was there. Standing
over the stone marker the lettering was not visible, but standing
back away from it with the sun's reflection it was. At the time
there was a young female park officer that was also interested in
the history of the park and as I left that evening I spoke with her
about my discovery. I did not return to the cemetery until last year
and found that someone had done an engraving in the stone exactly
where the letters had previously been. I presume the park ranger
that I spoke with did this, but she was no longer there so I was
unable to find out how the engraving got there. If you desire any
other information about the cemetery let me know and I would be
happy to provide you with the information that I hold.
