After being severely injured, and almost dying from the attack on his life by his father, one would hope that Ernest's life would turn out to be a happy one. Sadly, that was not the case. His marriage to Annie Henderson was declared annulled on 10 March 1900 (DIVORCE RECORDS, Vol. 5, Page 20, Maine State Archives Roll 2). Then, after three years of marriage to Rosabelle, she "utterly deserted" him and their 3 sons on 5 July 1903. Their marriage was declared to be terminated on 2 February 1907. Since it was a case of desertion, the matter had to wait 3 years before being legally disposed of (Kennebec Superior Court Records, Vol. 30 (1907), Page 19, #404). Rosabelle was, at the time she left Ernest, pregnant with Susan.
 We lose track of Ernest after the divorce, but, in the 1920 Census of Boston, there is an Ernest A. Scribner, "aged 41" and born in Maine, whose father was born in Maine and his mother in Massachusetts, living in a boarding house and working as a boiler fireman.
 In 1910, two of the boys, Harry and Raymond, were living with Ernest's twice-widowed mother, Sarah, on the Chase farm in Augusta. In 1920, they were living with Ernest's brother, Elmer, and his wife, Adeline, in Strafford, New Hampshire. The other boy, Joseph, was living in 1910 with Mary Leighton (a relative of Ernest's sister, Arvilla Scribner Leighton). He later joined his brothers in Strafford.
 Ernest is buried in Coombs Mills Cemetery in the same plot as are his parents and maternal grandparents. His name is engraved with his grandparents' names on the rear of the Cemetery Monument, whereas his parents' names are on the front.

HERBERT'S FAMILY: Herbert's great-great-grandfather, Archibald Hainey and his wife, Margaret (Howard) Hainey, were among the earliest settlers in Brooksville, Maine, just across the inlet from Castine and Penobscot, on Penobscot Bay. During the Revolutionary War, when the British Army attacked Castine in 1779, the British apparently had a "picquet" (encampment) on Archibald's farm. In a history of Castine, Penobscot and Brooksville, it states that:
 "At the time of the English occupation in 1779, ... Mr. Archibald Hainey occupied the point of land opposite the village-in Brooksville-where the Misses Henry now reside." And, later in the book, it says,
 "Frequent allusion is made in the accounts of the siege of the town, to a family of the name of Hainey, but nothing is known about them except that MRS. Hainey is spoken of as a TORY. No reference to any such family is to be found in the town records of Penobscot or Castine. There was a man of that name, however, and probably a descendant of this family, living on Cape Rozier, some years ago; and William and Edward Haney of Penobscot, and Charles Haney, of Belfast, are also descendants" (George Augustus Wheeler, HISTORY OF CASTINE, PENOBSCOT AND BROOKSVILLE, MAINE [Bangor, ME: Burr & Robinson, 1875], 198, 201).
 Contrary to what Mr. Wheeler says in the preceding quote, that no reference to the Haney family is found in the Penobscot Town Records, there are several facts recorded. Among them is the fact that Herbert's father, William, was born in Penobscot, and that he married Sarah F. Stubbs in Penobscot ("Marriages, 1864-1875," VITAL STATISTICS COPIED FROM TOWN RECORDS, PENOBSCOT, MAINE, 1787-1875 [op. cit.], 15).
 Herbert operated a shoe repair business in Bangor in partnership with Jim Palmer. Hannah was a seamstress.
 According to Ralph Haney, Hannah was "given up" by Charles Cochran when her mother died in 1893. She and her step-sister, Julia Cochran, returned to Bangor to live with their aunt, Julia (Springer) Sullivan. At the time of the 1900 Census of Bangor, Hannah was boarding with Clara E. Leavitt. Hannah was a seamstress, working for a large Bangor department store (Frieses'). In later years, Herbert's mother (Sarah) lived with them until her death in 1939 from a severe case of influenza.
 Hannah was extremely hard-of-hearing. Ralph Haney remembers having to shout when trying to converse with his mother. He also remembers that she had a delightful sense of humor.
 Herbert died of a heart attack. Hannah died of lung cancer, on her 71st birthday.
