"Charles Harton Scott, founder and head of the Record
Abstract Company of Denver (abstracts of title) and for more
than fifty years a resident of that city, former clerk and county
recorder, was born in the city of London, England, January 28,
1852, a son of Charles William and Harriet M. (Paice) Scott,
both also natives of London (the former long in public service
there, registrar of the colonies) and was there reared, finishing
his education in the Mercers school, where he was qualified for
clerical work. In 1873, the year in which he attained his
majority, Mr. Scott came to Colorado and was for a year
employed as a bookkeeper for a mining company, at the same
time offering his services as an abstractor of title. In 1875 he
became deputy county clerk and recorder at Denver and was
thus serving when in 1884 he was elected clerk and recorder,
a public office he occupied for four years. Upon retiring from
that office in 1888 he embarked in the abstract business, head
of the Record Abstract Company of Denver, and has since been
thus engaged. For twenty-two years he served as treasurer of
the Denver Real Estate Exchange.
On January 8, 1888, in Denver, Mr. Scott was united in marriage to Miss Anna M. Long, and they have a daughter, Margaret,
the wife of Major A. B. McKie of Fort McDowell, San Francisco.
Mr. Scott is a Knight Templar and Royal Arch Mason and a
Noble of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic
Shrine, and is also a member of the Benevolent Protective Order
of Elks and the Woodmen of the World.

1902 "The luckiest woman In the west is Mrs. Anna M. Scott of
Denver, Colorado. Five years ago, in returning from a party,
she lost a diamond earring worth $200. In looking for something else
a few days ago she found the diamond in the street where she had
dropped it so long before. Hundreds of persons had passed over
the spot in the meantime. Rain and snow had buried the jewel
in the sand, and at just the right time the rain again washed
the diamond clean for Mrs. Scott to find it. Other persons had
looked in vain, when it was lost years ago. "1 was
not looking for it," said the owner, "I was
looking for a little ring that my daughter thought she had lost.
As I could not find the ring, I went over the ground rather
carefully. "Suddenly something sparkling caught my eye
and then I cried right out loud, 'Why, there"s my diamond!’ "I waa so surprised to see it that I could really hardly believe that I was awake,
or that it was 1902 instead of 1897."

Anna is buried in Denver 1857-1941 # 132572736. "Anna M. Scott was a suffragist, and during the early 1900s (1900-1930 especially), she became one of Colorado's most influential political figures. She certainly was one of the few women to exert such influence in Denver politics. Active in the Republican Party, she was said to wield so much influence with female voters (and with many men) that candidates stood no chance unless she approved of them. A 1908 article by (Alfred) Damon Runyon referred to her as "the Woman Boss of Denver." A philanthropist, a club-woman, and a tireless volunteer, she died at age 84."
Scott, Margaret on June 1, 1922 married Alva B. McKie in Arapahoe County.
