SCOTT, Levi, M. E. bishop, born near Odessa, Delaware, 11 October, 1802; died there, 13 July, 1882. In April, 1826, after being licensed as a local preacher, he became a member of the Philadelphia conference. Without much early education, he was a diligent student, and a preacher of remarkable clearness, force, and thoroughness. After filling several pastorates, he was appointed presiding elder in 1834. This office, then one of very great influence, he filled for two years, and he then returned to the pastorate. From 1840 till 1842 he was principal of Dickinson grammar-school. In 1848 he was made one of the agents of the Methodist book concern in New York city. This position he held for four years, when at the general conference of 1852, at Boston, Massachusetts, he was elected and ordained bishop. The degree of M. A. was conferred upon him by Wesleyan university in 1840, and that of D.D. by Delaware college. He fixed his residence, after he was elected bishop at Odessa Delaware. He was very industrious in the discharge of the duties of his office, and had the reputation of great piety. He lived to fourscore, and for several years was enfeebled in mind and body.
