This little person was buried on the north side of the Murchison River in the Northampton district.

Dave Scott was in charge of an Aboriginal mob that came to the area from Eucla.  They had kangaroo dogs and were hunting kangaroos to sell the skins and eat the meat.  Not long after they came to the area, the little boy became sick.  Dave advised the women not to feed the little boy.  He said he needs to get better first, that if he was fed, he would died.  But one of the women in the mob prepared a brew of emu and fed the child.  The next morning, he was dead.  He was buried on the spot and the mob moved on towards Mary Springs and further north to Yalardy Station.

Dave Scott called himself a white man.  He was believed to have been part Aboriginal and was often called 'Stinker'.

It is not known who was the father of this little boy but Frederick Porter, owner of the property they had arrived on, later erected a cross bearing the words "SCOTT 1930". 

Frederick Albert Porter had arrived in the area in 1927.  When the Eucla mob arrived on their property, Fred's wife and daughters gave the women some dresses, which were very proudly worn - back to front.
