Interesting facts
g There is confusion over his middle name. His marriage certificate says it's "Alexander" (the U.S. Census seems to support this as it lists his middle initial as "A"; his obituary says it's "Washington," however.
g Living in North Sewickley, Beaver Co., Pa., in 1870, according to U.S. Census. The post office given is New Galilee. Also living in the household are: father Allexander Scott, age 55; Catharine Scott, 42; Mary E. Scott, 13; Amelia Scott, 11; Minerva Scott, 8; and Eva Jane Scott, 5; George is the youngest.
g By 1880, George had been adopted by Wesley and Mary Butler (Mary appears not to be his older sister, however) and was residing with them in Nelson, Buffalo Co., Wis. Why he was adopted or what happened to his parents is unknown. In the 1880 U.S. Census, those living in Wesley's household include: Wesley Butler (born in Pennsylvania; both parents were born in Pennsylvania, too) age 31 (1900 census gives his birthdate as July 1847, however, though the 1920 and 1930 censuses list it as 1849); Mary Butler, 29; Charles C. Butler, 5; Cora Butler, 3; Ira Butler, 5 months; George A. Scott, 13; Azan Hewitt, 22 (apparently the hired man). Wesley and Mary were married in 1871. In the 1990 census, Wesley's family had moved on to Southside, Wright Co., Minn. The 1910 census lists their residence as South Haven, Wright County. By 1920, he and Mary have moved to School District 8, Chouteau County, Montana, where they apparently reside with their son, Arthur. The 1930 census lists their home as Morefield, Chouteau County. Sometimes Wesley's name appears as "Betler" in records.
g The 1900 U.S. Census lists George as residing in Nelson Township, Buffalo County, Wis. Living in his household are: George W. Scott, age 33; Cathrine Scott, 26, James Scott, 7; George Scott, 5; Emma Scott, 3; Josephin Scott, 11/12 months.
g The 1905 Wisconsin Census lists George as residing in Alma, Buffalo County. Living in his houshold are: George Scott, age 38; Catherine Scott, 31; James C Scott, 12, George W Scott, 9; Emma C Scott, 8; Mary J. Scott, 6 (this presumably is Josephine; William A Scott, 2; Clara L Scott, 7 months.

Children
g Stella Fannie Bignell (b. June 27, 1912, her gravestone and daughter gives 1912 as birth year, however, while the U.S. Census lists it as 1913; she was named by her grandfather, Thomas Hill, after the steamboat - the "Stella Whipple" - he took from Eau Claire during the Civil War, and for his mother, Fannie; m. Lyle C. Dahlgren, who lived 1914-93, on Jan. 8, 1932; their infant daughter, Rebecca, who who was b. and d. Aug. 19, 1932, is buried Porcupine Cemetery, Pepin County, Wis.; their other children include Dorothy Lee Dahlgren who was b. July 25, 1945, and m.

g Vivian A. Bignell (b. 1933, m. Phillip A. Felland, who fought in the Korean War, holding rank of A2C U.S. Air Force,and lived 1931-1983, dying of a heart attack; their children include: Brian Felland, Rosemary Felland and Tammy Felland; Phillip is buried in Porcupine Cemetery, Pepin County, Wis.; Vivian then married Frank Berg and they lived in Eau Claire, Wis. This is NOT the Vivian who is Clarence Bignell’s sister)
Interesting facts
g In photo at upper right, Iva Hill (Bignell) is second from right in back row. She has her hands on Stella Fanny Bignell (Dahlgren)
g The 1920 U.S. Census lists Chester and Iva residing in Pepin County. Living with them are Stella and "Idell". Stella's birth year is listed as 1913, however, in the census.
g Iva was pregnant with Vivian while her daughters Stella was pregnant with Rebecca, the daughter who died at childbirth (and is buried next to Stella at Porcupine Cemetery), while Idell was also pregnant with Corabell. Stella, however, fell on outside steps during a rainstorm and shortly after went into delivery. She went into contractions, and a doctor was summoned, who came late with a horse carriage and was drunk. He laid her on the kitchen table and cut her open with a kitchen knife to deliver the baby. Rebecca died, and mom was in a coma for days. The baby was buried before Stella could regain consciousness. Since Vivian was born about the same time Stella lost her first child, Vivian became my Stella's daughter replacement, for awhile. Stella was told she would never have children because it was believed she would die, but she had Pat by sheer persistence. Then, when she became pregnant with Dorothy, doctors insisted on taking Dorothy so she would live. Stella refused. Dorothy was born but very sick and not expected to live, but has lived into her 60s.
g Here's a recipe from Iva's kitchen: Iva Bignell's Beans. She made these beans for every family get-together. Notice how they're similar to Bertha Hill (Bignell)'s bean recipe, suggesting it's a family recipe passed down through the Hill family:
n 1 lb. navy beans or Great Northern
n 3/4 to 1 cup sugar
n 2 tsp. molasses
n 2 heaping tsp dry mustard (or prepared mustard)
