Thomas Harvey Scribner and
Rosina Agnes Lorette
Text submitted by
Thomas Lee Scribner, great
grandson of Thomas Harvey Scribner.
Thomas was born on April 3, 1860. He was the son of
William Scribner and Susan Newberry, and the grandson of Samuel Scribner and
Almira Clark.
It is my understanding that birth and death records were not required until
1867 in the state of Ohio. We believe that Thomas grew up in the Cardington,
Ohio, area because we find the Census enumerations of 1870 list Thomas as
being 10 years of age and having been born in Cardington, Morrow County,
Ohio, in 1860. The 1880 Census enumerations record Thomas, at 20 years of
age, still living in Cardington with his parents.
Thomas began his move west sometime shortly after the 1880 census. A
marriage license issued to Thomas Scribner and Rosa Lorette, filed at
Caldwell, County, Missouri, states that the couple were wed on September 25,
1883.
Rosa was born on May 16, 1866, in Quincy, Adams County,
Illinois. She was the daughter of Michael Loreth and Elizabeth Amon. Her
father had emigrated to the United States from Bavaria, Germany. Tradition
maintains that he worked for the railroad once he arrived in New York.
Rosa's mother was from Memphis, Tennessee. Rosa's parents had been living
and farming in Caldwell County since 1871.
Thomas and Rosa had seven children; their names being
Minnie, William, Nellie, Mable, Floyd, Viola, and Harvey. Their first four
children were born in Caldwell County, Missouri.
By 1899, Thomas and Rosa had left Braymer and moved their
family into the Cherokee Nation of the Indian Territory, in an area now
known as Payne County, Oklahoma. We can estimate the year of the family's
relocation by the birth date of their son Floyd who was born in 1899, in
Yale, Payne County, Oklahoma.
The 1900 census places Thomas and his family in Eagle
Township, Payne County, Oklahoma. It was in 1907 that three of his children
were enrolled in the Roosevelt Public School District No.102 in Eagle
Township of Payne County, Oklahoma.
Census enumerations show that by 1910, Thomas Harvey had
moved his family to Barry County, Missouri, where he lived until his death
on January 6, 1944. He died at his home in Exeter, Barry County, Missouri.
Rosina died on 18 May 1947 in Exeter, Barry County,
Missouri.
Thomas Harvey is buried with his wife at the Maplewood Cemetery located at
Exeter, Missouri. Their gravestones face the road at the rear of the
cemetery. They are buried beside their son, Harvey Francis, who had the
misfortune of being murdered by his father-in-law. Thomas and Rosa's son,
Floyd, and daughter Viola, are buried in another section of this cemetery.
