A daughter of Hinds and Barbara (Goudie) Harper, Elizabeth was born on the Shetland Islands, February 16, 1836. The Harper family, then numbering five children, emigrated to Genesee Co., New York in 1837. Remaining there for ten years, four more children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Harper. Their children included: Christina, wife of Sylvester Craig, Barbara, wife of H. G. Otis Childs, Margaret, wife of A. W. Peters, Andrew, Elizabeth, wife of Andrew Scobie, Janet, wife of Hiram Preston, Mary, whom died in infancy, and Civil War Veterans William H and Robert W.
Elizabeth "received her primary education in the district schools of the Empire State, and afterward pursued an academic course at Janesville, Wis. At the age of sixteen she began teaching and for several years taught in the public schools of Rock County. The last school of which she had charge was in Neshkoro, when laying aside the duties of that profession she was united in marriage with Andrew Scobie.
This couple began their domestic life in Neshkoro, where they still make their home. Their union has been blessed with four children, all sons, the eldest of whom, Andrew H. is engaged in business with his father; Willard R. is a resident of Dakota; Robert G. is engaged in milling; and Frank G., the youngest is still attending school. The parents are numbered among the leading citizens of Marquette County and rank among the most highly esteemed residents of Neshkoro. Mrs. Scobie is a consistent member of the Methodist Church, in which she was reared, and an earnest worker in the church and Sunday school. Since 1857, Mr. Scobie has been engaged in the manufacture of plows at
Neshkoro, which business he still continues, his eldest son now being associated with him in that line. They also do an extensive business in repairing and casting. Mr. Scobie is ripe in years of experience and in knowledge of the world and ways of men and has been very successful in his business enterprises. He justly ranks high in business and social circles and well deserves the high regard in which he is held." (Portrait and Biographical Album of Green Lake, Marquette and Waushara ...pgs 572-573).
