Daniel Lee Scott was born on September 14, 1948 to Howard Scott and Goldie Lee at Methodist Hospital in Mitchell, SD. He attended grade school in Fedora where his mother was a teacher and where he was active in local 4-H. Dan graduated from high school in 1966 as a member of the last class to graduate from Fedora High School. He earned an undergraduate degree from the University of South Dakota in 1970 and a master’s degree in mathematics in 1976. He taught math in the Mitchell Community School District and served as the President of the Mitchell Education Association.
The farm at Fedora was Dan’s home for his entire life. He enjoyed the land, livestock, hunting, and the Minnesota Twins. He particularly loved being outside with his animals raising a variety of cattle, sheep, hogs, and exotic chickens. He was also fortunate to have traveled the world with friends.
He will be missed by his brother, David (Molly) of Spencer, IA; two nephews, Fred Scott (Brette) of West Des Moines, IA, and John Scott (Kristin Herrick) of Kalamazoo, MI; and niece Kate (Jeffrey) Lamb of Marshalltown, IA. He will also be remembered by his cousins, other relatives, and friends.
