Biography:
JAMES R. SCOTT, M. D., physician and surgeon in active practice at Appleton, Wisconsin, is a specialist in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. He was born at Appleton in 1874, a son of Robert and Anne (Ward) Scott. The father was born in Ohio and the mother in New York, the Scotts coming to Rochester, Wisconsin, and the Wards to Eden, Wisconsin, about 1851. In 1866 Robert Scott and wife came to Appleton, where he started the Outagamie Flour Mills and operated them for some years and later embarked in the mercantile business at Appleton, from which he retired in 1892, after conducting it for twenty-six years. The parents of Dr. Scott now live retired at Madison. Of their nine children four are deceased and Dr. Scott is the only surviving son.
James R. Scott completed the High School course at Appleton and then entered Rush Medical College, Chicago, where he was graduated in 1900, locating afterward at Hortonville for practice. In 1902-1903 he took post-graduate work in New York City along the special line in which he has since been particularly interested, and since then has been in practice in this city. He is a member of the county and state medical bodies and keeps up with the times in all scientific progress made by his profession. He is a member of the Wisconsin National Guards, being connected with the medical corps, with the rank of Captain, and during the Spanish-American War in 1898 was a member of the hospital corps detailed for duty in Texas. On November 27, 1900, he was married to Miss Laura Erb, a daughter of Herman Erb. The family belongs to the Congregational Church.
