Scott Memorial Inscription

After Alexander had died so tragically in a Rail accident, his wife Margaret had a Memorial Gravestone erected in the Cemetery on the west side of Yarraville, on the Geelong Road, known as Footscray. Its photograph is above, and it gives us some details which we would not otherwise have. Margaret named on the stone was born Margaret McIlhagga, daughter of William and Agnes (nee McCosh) McIlhagga of Ballycloughan, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. Its full inscription reads:
