A death date is also listed as 22 Sept. 1904. There appears to be a mix-up with another David Scottwho is also buried in Beechwood.The confusions with the David Scott men carries through many records.They are thought to have been cousins.
The death date of 3 March 1901 appears to be correct.He was not buried until 2 May 1901 due to the fact that the ground was frozen and remains were store until the ground could be prepared for burial.
