The Scott family brought with them a wagon, two horses, a walking plow, Hedge wood posts, household effects and probably a cow.  Within days of arriving, Marshall filed for the homestead, and the family lived in Akron, reportedly in a tent, until the two-room homestead house was ready in May 1915.  The family dug a forty-foot water well, which still provides water today, 100 years later.  By 1917, 110 acres had been cultivated for raising barley, beans, cane, as well as possibly hogs.  In addition to building the house, the family constructed a granary, cellar and chicken house.  When they arrived in Colorado, Marshall and Julie has four kids, Pete, Mollie, Raymond and Robert, and later Inez was born on the homestead.  Marshall and Julie lived out their remaining lives on the homestead.  In 1933 Raymond got married and established a home on adjoining land until his passing in 1969.  Raymond’s son Phillip married in 1969 and was involved in the family land until his passing in 2007.  In addition to farming, the Scotts had a herd of Hereford livestock with a calf-cow operation.  The livestock brand, the VS, was registered in 1938 and remains in the family with current owner Lois Scott.  Today, even some of those hedgewood poles that were brought out in 1914 remain in the pasture fence rows today.
