Judge John
Scott

been a
member of
the
Lancaster
County bar
only since
October,
1913, but
for many
years
previous had
practiced
his
profession
at Auburn,
Nebraska,
and had
become well
known
throughout
the state as
an able
lawyer. He

Judge John
Scott
McCartys'
father, Dr.
Milburn
McCarty, was
a practicing
physician
throughout
his entire
active
career, and
was born in
Kentucky,
June 5,
1828. Dr.
Milburn
McCarty met
with an
accident
which nearly
severed the
right leg,
Tendering
the foot
almost
useless.
This
prevented
him from
becoming a
soldier in
the Civil
war, but he
was a strong
Union man
and when
General X.
B. Forrest
and his
Confederate
cavalry
started to
make a raid
up through
Kentucky,
Dr. McCarty,
who was
practicing
medicine in
Kentucky,
left that
state and

life's
journey
happily
together for
fifty four
years,

wedding in
1903. Two

progress in
civic
affairs. At
the same
time he is
an able
