Do you know of Scribner ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Scribner. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Scribner.<1>

Our sources for Scribner (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Scribner other than they indicate that Scribner would be found somewhere in Humboldt County, California.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1889 and closed  in 1894.
