Born Dec. 16, 1932, in Gilmer, Bill was the son of William Morgan Augustan and Loraine Hyde Scott of Big Sandy.

Bill was active in a number of grain trade associations, holding offices in Texas Grain and Feed Association, National Grain and Feed Association and others, including president of Fort Worth Grain Exchange. After retiring, he enjoyed working in the law office of his son, John. Bill felt honored to be a member of the United Methodist Church for nearly 60 years, and worked in numerous local church jobs. He was a humble man of deep integrity, whose faith stood as an example to all who knew him. Neither curse nor cross word was ever spoken by Bill. He was an avid outdoorsman who shared his love of his dogs, camping, fishing, exploring mountain streams and trails, and making arrowheads with his wife, children and grandchildren. The whole family will miss his omniscent knowledge of weather and constant warnings of fog. He was preceded in death by his parents; and grandsons, Joshua Scott Hedges and William Barrett Payne.
