 General Notes:
Albert Scrivner, a descendant of Joel Scrivner, hired genealogists to research his family and supplied much of the information on the Scrivner family in Illinois that is included in Doris Scrivner Collier's book. Doris provided me with the following excerpt from his obituary following his death on 2 Jul 1993. She regrets he did not tell her about his accomplishments prior to the publication of her book. I include them here as a posthumous tribute.
"Albert Scrivner, owner of a chain of auto supply stores, died Friday at Memorial Hospital in Belleview. He and his late wife, Lavenia Scrivner, founded Al's Automotive Supply in 1954, opening a store in East St. Louis. Al's has four outlets -- in Belleville, Cahokia, Granite City and Washington Park. Before going into business for himself, Mr. Scrivner worked for the Nickel Plate Railroad. His family said his railroad background had led Mr. Scrivner to seek better safety at rail crossings. Mr. Scrivner is credited with two key safety techniques. One is the "rumble strip", a short stretch of corduroy paving whose noisy, bumpy passage alerts drivers. The other pavement paint that is mixed with glass bits to produce a highly reflective surface. Earlier this year, U. S. Rep. Jerry F. Costello, D-Belleville, read into the Congressional Record a statement praising Mr. Scrivner for the rumble strip and reflective paint. Mr. Scrivner served in the Army in World War II. He belonged to the American Legion, the Masons and the Union Methodist Church in Belleville."
