George was a farmer. He was the first of his line to begin breaking from the family occupation of lumbering. In the 1880's, he tapped several trees for sap to be used in making maple syrup.
In the 13 August 1920 edition of "The Norway Advertiser," there appeared a listing of Otisfield's "Heavy Tax-Payers," who paid a (probably property) tax of $25 or more. On the list that day were George ($74.40), E.L. Scribner ($105), Charles Scribner ($44.28), Fletcher Scribner ($55.80), and Jason Scribner ($97.08).
George is remembered as being tall and thin, in contrast to Carrie, who was heavyset. Celia Hancock Butters (a granddaughter) recalled how, as a child, she and other grandchildren were unable to sit on Carrie's lap and kept sliding off. Carrie died at age 51, from a stroke suffered "while preparing the evening meal". That previous winter, she and George had lived in another part of town. She had wanted very much to return to her home. So, that 21st of May, they had returned there, and she was preparing their first meal "back home." The furniture was still to be unloaded from the wagon. "Shortly before she reached home she met a neighbor and she said, 'I am going to be happy now. I am going home'" (Caroline Scribner Obituary, "Oxford County Advertiser," [op. cit.], 27 May 1910, page 8).

George's second wife, Carrie (Whitney) Lombard, was first married to Ellsworth Samuel Lombard in their hometown of Upton. They had four children, including Eva (who married Alban Fletcher Scribner 10 December 1911 in Otisfield) and Vena (who married Merton Linwood Scribner 3 February 1915 in Otisfield). Sometime between 1900 and 1910, the Lombard family moved to Otisfield, where Ellsworth (who was also known as Samuel J. Lombard) was a farmer. He died in 1910. Four years later, Carrie married George. After George died, Carrie married Charles C. Turner of Rangeley, and moved there.

Elisha (along with several others from Otisfield) served in Co. C, 25th Maine Infantry Regiment, during the Civil War. He enlisted as a Private on 29 September 1862, and was mustered out on 10 July 1863. After their marriage, Elisha and Lauriette lived first on his father's old homestead, but later sold it and moved to Bolster's Mills. He was living with daughter Jane Mabel Lowell in South Paris when the house burned and he was burned to death, 12 April 1927 (Death Notice, "Advertiser-Democrat," Norway and South Paris, Maine, 22 April 1927, page 4, column 2).

In the 1860 Census of Bangor, Isaiah lists his occupation as Miner.
During the Civil War, he served as a Private in Co. I, 6th Maine Infantry Regiment (GENERAL INDEX TO COMPILED MILITARY SERVICE RECORDS OF VOLUNTEER UNION SOLDIERS WHO SERVED IN MAINE REGIMENTS, op. cit.). He enlisted 15 July 1861 and was mustered out 15 August 1864, when the unit had completed its three year term of service. For part of the time, in 1862, he was considered to be AWOL (Absent Without Leave), but apparently he was sick and unable to report for duty.
It's interesting that, even though they were not in the same Company, Isaiah and his son, Benjamin, both served in the 6th Maine (See Benjamin's record for more information about the 6th Maine Infantry Regiment).
