Notes for William Christopher Scarborough/Scarberry:
After William Christopher's (Chris) parents died, he stayed in different places, working for his board. He never went to school, though he could read and write. He always wanted to go to school but was never able.
When he was 12 or 13, a farmer told him if he would work for him all summer, in the fall he would pay for Chris to go to school.
Chris worked for him all summer for board and keep, then in the fall the farmer refused to send Chris to school and threw him out.
Chris never forgot this and in later years when one of his daughters wanted to go out with one of the farmer's sons, Chris said 'No way, we don't have nothing to do with them.' That ended that.
Chris married Mary Elizabeth Bach/Back Jan.5,1903. They were married by Jos F, Monison, MG at David Bach's. Witness were Amos Lawson and M.H. Helton.
Sometime after Chris' marriage to Mary Bach, the spelling of the family name was changed to SCARBEARY,

Notes for Newt Spencer:
He used to like carving wood. I (Peggy Lynn Laramore) can remember him carving chains, horses & a wagon, crosses and lots of other things. He was a very special person in my life when I was younger. The chains he used to carve were made from one peice of wood that the links were each carved so that they hooked.
