Scott, William L
manufacturer, congressman, was born July 2, 1828, in Washington, D. C. He was a page in the national house of representatives from 1840 to 1846; and in 1848 settled at Erie, Pa. As president or director he was interested in twenty-two thousand miles of completed road, probably the largest mileage in the management of which one man was ever interested. He was elected mayor of Erie in 1866, and again in 1871. In 1884 he was elected a representative from Pennsylvania to the forty-ninth congress; and re-elected to the fiftieth congress as a democrat.
