Scott and Lydia started out with only one horse and about $100. They farmed and raised some livestock for their own use. Scott cooked for the lumber camps all winter, and also for the river drive in the spring. Lydia and the children kept things running smoothly at home.
Scott and Lydia's second youngest child, Dalton, now owns the homestead, and the farm has since been purchased by John Bubar. Scott and Lydia moved from the homestead in 1946, to a house which Earl had built just at the bottom of the hill. Unfortunately Lydia died of a brain tumor in the fall of that same year. She is buried in the Upper Brighton Cemetery.
Scott lived alone in that house for seventeen years. During that time he had a housekeeper for about a year and a half - Mrs. Gussie Maskol. Eventually when he needed care, his daughter Ella took him for awhile. Arnie and Phoebe kept house for him until his death. He is buried beside Lydia in the Upper Brighton Cemetery.

- Details:Name: newspaper; Location: Hartland, New Brunswick. Canada; Date: weekly;Citation:Page: Final Tribute Paid to Upper Brighton Man; obituary; 1963; death of Scott Earl Hallett.Text: " Final Tribute Paid to Upper Brighton Man " Funeral services for the late Scott Earl Hallett, 87, Upper Brighton's oldest citizen, who passed away at his home at 2:45 in the morning of Tuesday, January 29, after a lingering illness, were held in the Primitive Baptist Church, Upper Brightoton, at 2:30 in the afternoon of Thursday, January 31, following two o'clock service at the home. Rev. Dr. A. Hatfield, delivered the funeral message with Rev. Fred Chapman, church pastor, reading the 91st Psalm following which Dr. Hatfield took as his text Job 30:23. Prayer was by Rev. Walter Campbell with benediction by Rev. Harold Shaw. During service at the home, the Scripture was read by Rev. Phillip Giberson, with prayer by Dr. Hatfield. The Hymn, "Good Night and Good Morning" was sung by William Clark. At the church a male trio composed of Fred and Wilmot Dickinson and H.J. Oliver sang, "Alone With God" and "Golden Morning", the latter having been a favorite of the deceased and requested by his eldest daughter, Millicent. Pallbearers were six of his eight sons: Arnold, Kenneth, Earl, Donald, Dalton and Owen Hallett. Interment was in the Bubar Cemetery, Upper Brighton. Funeral direction was by the L.E. Britton Funeral Home. Beautiful floral tributes extending across the entire front of the church attested to the high esteem in which this elder citizen was held. Mr. Hallett, one of the younger sons of Peter and Emmeline (Adams) Hallett, was born March 19, 1875, one of a family of 12. Throughout his life he made his home in Upper Brighton. On September 17, 1899, he married Miss Lydia Mae Nevers, also o of Upper Brighton, daughter of the late George and Mary Nevers. Mrs. Hallett precedeased her husband in October 1946. Thirteen children, five daughters and eight sons, were born of this marriage; all survive. Of the 13, eleven were present at the funeral services, Millicent being unable to attend due to illness and Wendell, Ontario, unable to attend due to highway conditions. Daughters of the deceased are Millicent, Mrs. Albert Milan of Boston and Coldstream; Ella, Mrs. Jasper Ellis, Coldstream; Pauline, Mrs. Wilmot Clark, Upper Brighton; Verna, Mrs. Russell Taylor, Woodstock; Gertrude (Bud), Mrs. Milo McMullin, Royal Oak, Michigan; Sons are Arnold, Hartland, Kenneth, Earl and Donald, Upper Brighton; Deane, Victoria; Wendell, Phillipsville, Ontario; Dalton on the home farm; and Owen, Hartland. Also surviving are 49 grandchildren, 51 great-grandchildren; one great great grandchild; two nieces and a nephew in Exeter, New Hampshire, children of the late Enoch Hallett; one nephew, Orrin B. Dickinson, Upper Brighton; and one grand-niece and one grand-nephew, also in Upper Brighton. Of these close relatives, over 50 were in attendance at the funeral. The late Mr. Hallett was a great-grandson of Marsden (Robert) Hallett, the United Empire Loyalist who came to the St. John River Valley from New England following the American War in Independence and obtained the original Hallett grant in Upper Brighton. He (Scott) was an excellent cook, being sought many times even in his aging years, by woods contractors to exercise his culinary art during the Winter months between farming periods. He was a hard and successful worker and it was always his boast that, "My word is as good as my bond"; it was a proud boast and those dealing with him found this to be true. His examples of integrity and industriousness are reflected in his family. Among the remarks made by Dr. Hatfield was an allusion to the fact that the Hallett home was always a home for ministers of the Gospel and that he had "replenished many saints".
