Reverend Scott Elopes With 15-Year-Old Daisy Dorlan
Rev. Geo E Scott of Waterloo, longtime Monticello pastor, eloped with Daisy Dorlan aged fifteen. He left town amid suspicions of impropriety and drug use, traveling on multiple trains to avoid pursuit. Daisy, a local resident, is described as bright and vivacious, with parents of standing. The pair have not been seen since, and a previous bank withdrawal of 1400 dollars adds to the scandal. The note includes church and family context, plus local political and social snippets.
