Eva was born in the same house as her brother, Raymond. In his family history, he tells that she "worked at the 'San' too. She stayed with Dad for a couple of years, and then decided to head for Vancouver. After a year or so, she married Norman Tichborne whom she had known before from Trees Bank which is near Glenboro, Manitoba. They then returned to Manitoba and also settled in Selkirk where sister Bessie (Hunt) lived. Norman got on at the Steel rolling mill.
"Eva and Norman had seven children: Mel, Morley, Roy, Linda, Arlene, Karen, and Joan.
"Eva's health failed before long and it was difficult for them. However, they all grew to aduilthood and we are happy for them now They were all pretty as children. Now? They are still pretty
"Norman also died young. I believe, if I remember right, it was heart trouble. We always liked Norman. Their children are scattered a bit, some in Manitoba, some in Saskatchewan, and some in Alberta. Eva resides in Brandon and is quite a bit better than in days past. She knows the names of all her grandchildren."

Raymond Lee Scribner remembers his brother, Stanley (Stan), as "a jack-of-all-things, like me, with no papers, but can do anything that is easy Like all the rest, he worked for farmers and then found something else. Stan worked in the bake shop in Ninette also. Stan served an apprenticeship there and was a baker.
"He met and married Mary (nee ?) from St. Lazar, Manitoba. They lived in a few places: Shoal Lake, Brandon, and now in Ninette for a number of years. They have three children (all adults now): Laurie, Kimberly, and Frank.
"Laurie and her two children, Jason and Tracy are in Ninette. Kim and George, and Carter (1 year) are in Brandon. Frank and Diane are in Brandon and, if I remember right, have two children. I have a multitude of nephews and nieces now, and likely more to come, so I'll never get all the names. I'm glad Stan and Mary are there in Ninette for support to Jim and Verna."

Carrie was a schoolteacher and, by 1930, was a "traveling saleslady," selling dresses in the Lynden, Washington, area.
Although other family databases indicate that Carrie was born in Oregon, Dane County, Wisconsin, it is more likely that she was born in Iowa. According to the 1880 Census, she and several of her siblings were born in Iowa. That year, she and her family were living in New York Mills, Otter Tail County, Minnesota (NARA Microcopy T-9, Roll 628, Page 184C). Also, in all subsequent Censuses, she indicates that her birthplace was Iowa.

Eugene was an accountant for the Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta.
The Coca-Cola story begins in 1886, when an Atlanta pharmacist named John Pemberton was seeking to develop a headache cure, but, instead, came up with a unique and very tasty caramel-colored liquid. He took the mixture to Jacobs' Pharmacy, just down the street. At first, it was mixed with water -- and sold well. Then, one day, an employee mistakenly used carbonated water when preparing the soft drink for a customer, and Coca-Cola was born Mr. Pemberton sold the company to Asa Griggs Candler, who became the company's first president.
The contour bottle that we're all familiar with was developed in 1915, mainly to combat the many copy-cats (such as the company marketing Koka-Kola). It wasn't long before Coca-Cola was being sold and enjoyed in 53 countries around the world. About that same time, a young man named Eugene Scribner went to work as an accountant at the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Atlanta.
Eugene died from nephritis poisoning.
