Medal given to Jemima Scott

This Service Medal was given to Jemima Scott in memory of her son Alfred Scott, who was killed in action on Oct. 1, 1916. Following the Great War, Vaughan Township Council bestowed several medals to citizens demonstrating gallant service from 1914 to 1918. Alfred Scott was the youngest of Jemima Scott’s three children. Jemima was born in England in August of 1870 and immigrated to Canada in 1906 with her husband, Albert, giving birth to her children in 1889, 1891 and 1896.
