1. History of Scott Memorial Marker

Marker is also a grave at Provo City Cemetery.

Inscription. Bishop Andrew Hunter Scott's remains were originally interred on Temple Hill, but they were transferred to this site in 1882.

This monument honoring the entire Scott family, was first erected in 1897. Though Andrew would probably have selected something much smaller, its seize bespeaks the high regard his descendants have for him.

Of the original stone blocks, representing the four early Utah temples, only the granite and marble survive. The sandstone pieces were replaced with like-colored granite and the monument was rededicated 14 Aug 1994. A time capsule lists family contributors.
