Ed Salzer, Monett, MO, was the informant. - Cassville Democrat, July 5, 1929 - Death of Mrs. Salzer: Mrs. John Salzer succumbed to heart trouble at 9:30 o'clock Saturday night, June 22, nearly forty-five hours after her husband died with inflammation of the brain. Mrs. Salzer had been ill for 18 months and her condition was critical when her husband was taken fatally ill. She insisted, however, on having the body of her husband brought home where she could see him. Her grief may have hastened her going which was inevitable within a short time at the best. Mr. Salzerís funeral, which was to have been held Sunday afternoon, was postponed until Tuesday and a double funeral was held at 2:30 o'clock on that day at the Presbyterian Church. Burial was made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. Mr. Salzer evidently had a premonition of death for he told his wife a week before his death and before his illness stuck him, that they would be buried in the same grave. - Notice of death for Elizabeth's mother: March 14, 1908, Saturday, Cassville Democrat - Mrs. Catherine Young of Cuba, MO, wife of Anton Young of that place, died March 7.

He was a member of the Lutheran church, but always attended the Presbyterian church of Monett. Mr. Salzer was of a friendly disposition and made many friends. He was very witty and his old sayings were widely quoted. His wife had been confined to her bed for some time, but bore up bravely when notified of her husband's death. She is doing well as possible under the circumstances. - Monett Times - Mr. Salzer was one of the county's prominent and well known citizens. During the many years that he had lived at Monett, he had built up a valuable acquaintance. He was noted for his honest, straight forward dealings at all times and was greatly loved by all who knew him.

The City of Monett has him in their IOOF log book listed as Abe Sanders with no dates, in the old section, in block 54, single lot, grave 16. - Linda Skelton Corbin's Notes: My great-grandfather's brother, Sanders, Quinton Able "Abe", is buried in that cemetery and you have him listed with no birthdate. His father's Civil War pension file list his birthday as 9 July 1878 in Dubois County, Indiana. He was named after a soldier, Quinton Abel, who was in the 38th Regiment Indiana Infantry with his father, Humphrey Sanders. As for his middle name - Able is how the D. C. listed it. That is the only time that spelling occurs - no other spelling occurs twice - Quinabel, Quinton Abel, Quinton Abell, Quinton Abet; so I suppose that Able is good. Rather like his mother, Kesiah- Kisi- Kessiah- Kizier K.- Keziah - Kessie K. K.- Kziah- Kizzie K. Burton Sanders, who died at 65. Death Certificate

Research Note: He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great grandfather and friend. He was preceded in death by his parents Monroe and Mildred Scott; step-mother, Thelma Scott; siblings, Charles, Mary, Dora, Edward, and Arthur Scott; his loving Workman in-laws; two nephews and a niece. He is survived by his wife of 74 years, Mary Scott; three children; nine grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and three great-great grandchildren. Ralph was raised in Kansas and attended High School in Alma, AR where he excelled and was valedictorian of his class. Following graduation he enlisted and honorably served in the U.S. Navy. After being discharged he attended Arkansas Tech University and earned his Master's Degree and Doctoral degree (Ed.D.) at the University of Arkansas. Early in his career, starting in 1951, Ralph taught Science, Biology, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology both at Monett High School and Monett Jr. College, in the Brentwood School District and at Cabool. At Cabool, he also taught physical education and was head coach for all the high school sports. Beginning in 1957, he returned to Monett where he served as head coach for two years, teaching Physics and other science courses. In 1965, Dr. Scott was named Superintendent of Monett Schools and held that post for 23 years. During his tenure, a visionary plan was created that still holds today with the passing of four bond issues that financed the construction of modern K-12 facilities as well as one of Missouri's first vocational-technical schools, which was renamed in 2012 as the Scott Regional Technology Center in his honor. At the local, regional, and state levels Ralph's leadership was evident in many ways. He helped found the Monett Sheltered Workshop, organized and administered the federally funded Migrant Education Center, supervised the regional Adult basic Education Program, implemented computerized accounting and pioneered the concept of instructional management systems. He also developed an 18-acre Outdoor Classroom program in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Conservation. From 1988-1992 Dr. Scott served as an associate professor at Missouri State University, where he helped train the next generation of school administrators. He received many awards and accolades over the years including Outstanding CTA/MSTA School Administrator (1983); Missouri State Teachers Association outstanding administrator (1987); recipient of the first Pearce Award from the Missouri Association of School Administrators, of which he served as president in 1973; and Missouri Pioneer in Education Award from the State Board of Education (1993). In the community, Ralph was an active member of the Lion's Club, supporter of the Boy Scouts, and Shelter Workshop board member. Serving in leadership positions came naturally to Dr. Scott. He was extremely faithful and dedicated to his church and served as a delegate to jurisdictional and general conferences of the United Methodist Church for 24 years. Ralph was a life-long learner and avid reader who visited the public library two to three times a month. Some of his other favorite activities included horseback riding, fishing, gardening, snow skiing, working out at the YMCA, and carpentry. As a Monett Cub, Missouri State Bear, and Arkansas Razorback superfan Ralph greatly enjoyed attending games and cheering for his teams. Woo Pig Sooie! Ralph will be remembered for his selflessness, integrity, and commitment to helping others. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Buchanan Funeral Home
