I'm trying to get in contact with a descendant of the above..

A Canadian, Ernest Darius Scott was born on 6 September 1872. His family moved to Nebraska around 1885 and he received an appointment to West Point in 1894. As an Artillery officer, the war with Spain took Scott to the Philippine Insurrection, where he earned two Silver Star Citations. He also was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for his service as the Commanding Officer of Field Artillery regiments and brigades as part of the American Expeditionary Forces in France. Scott commanded the 15th Field Artillery from 1927-28 and the 11th Field Artillery from 1920 -31, when he was promoted to brigadier general.

BG Scott retired in 1931and moved to Miami, FL. He died at Homestead Air Force Base on 12 May 1962 at age 90.

BG Scott has two sons who are also graduates of West Point, Bruce VonGeric Scott,b.1909 graduated from West Point in 1933, died in 1976 (I'm told he had a daugher), and Ernest D. Scott, Jr., b. 1921, graduated in Jan ’43, died in 1946 and is buried at Arlington National Cem.

Any info greatly appreciated..
