Caleb's first wife, Margaret, was a teacher. She was active in the Patten community as a member of the Congregational Church, the Pleiades Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, and the Patten Grange.

Caleb's second wife, Laura, was also noted for being an educator. She was a graduate of Bryant and Stratton Business School in Boston, Bangor Theological Seminary (1926) and the University of Maine (with a Master of Arts degree in 1930). During her years at the seminary, she was the private secretary to Rev. Dr. Warren Moulton, president of the seminary. While working for her Masters Degree, she was an instructor of English and an assistant matron of Ballentine Hall. Following graduation from the University, she served one year as Pastor of the West Brooksville Congregational Church. In 1931, she became a faculty member at Patten Academy, a position she held until her retirement in March 1958 because of ill health. In addition, she was very involved in the life of Patten, taking part in such organizations as the Patten Women's Club, the Patten Memorial Library's book committee, Republican Town Committee, Order of the Eastern Star and the Stetson Memorial Methodist Church (Laura Scribner obituary, "Bangor Daily News" [op. cit.], 7-8 June 1958, page 20, column 6).

After his father's death in 1913, Caleb took charge of the farm and continued farming there for several years. He taught English at Patten Academy, sold real estate, was Tax Collector of Patten for a time, and was a Game Warden. Other involvements included the Congregational Church, Patten school committee, Board of Health, Katahdin Lodge of Masons, Patten Grange (of which he was Master for 4 years) and the Macabees of Patten. Caleb was an amateur artist all of his life, working in pencil, charcoal, pastels and water colors. His favorite subject was the northern Maine scenery. In the early 1960's, he spearheaded a plan to transplant a wild herd of caribou from Canada to Mount Katahdin. As it turned out, however, the caribou decided they did not want to stay on the mountain, and in a few years all of them had returned to Canada.
One of his enduring accomplishments was helping to establish the Lumberman's Museum in Patten. The museum is a replica of an early logging camp, along with a collection of tools, machinery and photos of lumbering operations in Maine in the 19th and early 20th centuries ("Scribner Family History" [op. cit.], 13-14). It is a most interesting place to visit.
Caleb and his wives are buried in the Village Cemetery in Patten.
