  The Dalby Herald Tuesday 9 March 1954 p 3 MR. J. K. SCOTT With the passing of James Roy Scott, Warra feels that they have lost a highly respected and esteemed citizen. "Roy," as he was well-known to his many friends, was a gentleman, always having a cheery word and smile for everyone, writes the Herald's Warra correspondent. He was a Digger of the first world war, losing his leg in that engagement, but this disability did not affect his cheery disposition and bright outlook on life. Coming to Queensland from N.S.W. when he was 10 years of age. he eventually purchased a property at Kogan. He leaves a wife and family of three, two daughters and a son, to mourn the loss of a loving husband and devoted father. The daughters are Beryl (Mrs. Noel Southey); Gloria (Mrs. Eric Dwyer) and son Allan, all of Chinchilla. He disposed of his property at Kogan recently owing to ill-health, and with his wife and son, went to live in Chinchilla. Though he knew his illness must prove fatal, Roy Scott bore it with the same courage and fortitude as he went through life, and to this fine gentleman, and old Digger we feel that the world is all the poorer by his passing. It can truly be said "Old Soldiers never die, they only fade away." Roy Scott's memory will ever remain green in the hearts and minds of those who knew him and respected him. Death occurred in the Chinchilla District Hospital on February 18, at the age of 64 years. He was laid to rest in the Chinchilla cemetery in the presence of a large crowd of friends and relatives.
