A IS- ERGEAXT CHARLES CURTIS SCOTT of Company D. First Maine Regiment, U. S. Volunteers, whose death occurred at the Maine General Hospital, Portland. August 31, 1898, ’ j$ was the son of Walter and Sylvia (Sturtevant) Scott. He was I Y born in Scott County, Minnesota, June 4, 1876. When lie was six years old his parents moved to Dexter. Maine, where lie grew to manhood. His ancestors came to this country with Roger Williams; and his family was represented in both wars against England. He fitted for college at the Dexter High School and entered the University of Maine in the fall of 1895. He was interested in all col- lege work and prominent in base ball, the Debating Society, and mili- tary training. His college standing was excellent although he did not strive for high rank. At the beginning of hostilities with Spain he promptly enlisted. His military life had no opportunity for display of valor, but the strength of his character and his patient devotion to duty were shown under all circumstances. The story of the sufferings of Chickamauga, where Sergeant Scott contracted the typhoid malaria which ended his short life, is well known. He was buried at Dexter with military honors on September 2. Floral offerings were sent by the Q. T. V. Fraternity of which Sergeant Scott was a member. Young Scott had no element of vanity about his makeup. Quiet and unassuming in manner, ambitious, studious, thoughtful and con- siderate of the feelings of others, always industrious, these are a few of the qualities which endeared him in the hearts of those who knew him.

EUGENE ALLEN HACKETT of Company H, First Maine Regiment U. S. V., who died at Chickamauga, Ga., August 20, 1898, was the son of the late Sumner Hackett. He was born at Fort Fairfield. September 29, 1877. When but a boy his parents moved to Mechanic Falls. Me., where they are both buried. He was educated in the public schools of Caribou, to which place he removed after the death of his parents, being graduated from the High School in the class of 1890 and entered the University of Maine with the class of 1901. He was interested in all college work, a thor- ough student, and an upright, honest, Christian young man. When the call came for volunteers, although all looked bright for a brilliant future, and he depended upon his own resources for his educa- tion and support, he put aside all personal interests and responded to the call of his country. The story of the hardships of camp life need not be told here. In the latter part of July he was stricken down and when the hospital train started for the North was too ill to be moved. Young Hackett possessed all the essentials of an unblemished character, namely—truth, honesty and purity, — these endeared him to his college associates and to all with whom he came in contact. 8
