Oscar 'Scottie' Scott, Falmouth's gentle barber
For years in Falmouth, it was a common sight to see barber Oscar F. "Scottie" Scott and his wife taking an evening stroll.
"Everybody in Falmouth knows that when he and his wife were living, they just got out and walked through their little community every evening," said a niece, Mary Ann Hornbeek of Butler.
Mrs. Hornbeek said the couple walked for exercise, to socialize with neighbors and, most importantly, to commune with each other: "They were very close."

Mr. Scott died Monday morning at River Valley Nursing Home in Butler.

Mr. Scott was born and reared in Pendleton County. He operated Scottie's Barber Shop on Main Street in Falmouth for 50 years.

After Mr. Scott retired in 1975, he had more time to devote to his memberships.

Mr. Scott also was a past master of Orion Lodge No. 222 F&AM in Falmouth, a 32nd Degree Mason with Indra Consistory Scottish Rite in Covington, and a past worthy patron of Falmouth Chapter No. 481 Order of the Eastern Star.
