Text: Levi Scott, former prominent Fairmount citizen and business man, is a native of Wayne Co., IN, where he was born on January 21, 1846, the son of Stephen and Mahala (Arnett) Scott, were among the pioneers of Liberty Twp. Levi Scott passed the early years of his life working upon his father's farm, attending the common schools in winter. August 1, 1863, at seventeen, he enlisted in Company C, One Hundred and Eighteenth Indiana Volunterr Infantry. At the conclusion of his service in the army, he returned home, engaged in farming and late in retail merchandising in Huntington Co., in which he was successful. Disposing of his stock goods he purchased a farm near Pleasant Plain and once more followed agricultural pursuits. In 1865 he was united in marriage with Miss Emily Davis, daughter of George Davis (* she is a sister to Calvin Scott's wife, Eliza) of Liberty Township. They were the parents of twelve children, namely Melissa M., Alvin B., Irvin, Arthur D., Lillie, Lemuel, Eliza A., Alonzo, Charlotte, Cleha, Elois, and Harrison, mellisa, Arthur, and Lemuel are deceased. the wife died in 1891. For his second companion he married Emily R. Hill of Carthage, Indiana.

Mr. Scott, in 1877, engaged in general merchandising in Fairmount, entering actively into the support with his means, his time and his influence of various enterprises promoted for the good of the community. In November 1882, with surplus funds not otherwise invested, he established the Fairmount Bank, giving local people their first banking facilities. This institution did a general banking business, dealing in exchange receiving money on deposit, discounting notes, etc. he built Scott's Opera House (which is currently being restored) in 1884, with a commodious stage, scenery and all necessary equipment to accomodate the best theatrical troupes touring the smaller towns and cities of that day. The Fairmount Bank was later reorganized under the laws of Indiana and became known as the Farmers and Merchants State Bank. The business grew as Fairmount increased in population and industry. In 1893, as the local manufacturing enterprises, a policy which in time proved to be unwisely generous, owing to the panic of that year, the financial drain became too great for its resources and the institution was forced to close its doors. This action became necessary on account of the inability of the management to quickly realize on paper then in its possession. In 1896, Mr. and Mrs. Scott disposed of their interests here and moved to Missouri, then to Texas and later to California, where they are comfortably situated.
