Howard G. Scarborough, general broker and dealer in real estate and investment
securities, junior member of the firm of W. C. & H. G. Scarborough, was born in
Providence, R.I., December 23, 1867. He is the son of Cyrus Sibley and Anna V.
(Sweet) Scarborough, and is of English descent, claiming kinship with Lord
Scarborough of the mother country. His paternal grandfather, Nathaniel
Scarborough, was a very successful merchant of Providence, where Cyrus S. was,
during his business career, connected with large real estate and banking
interests. Mr. Cyrus S. Scarborough married a daughter of Deacon Constant Sweet,
one of the celebrated family of Sweets of Rhode Island, natural bonesetters. Her
mother was a granddaughter of General Nathaniel Greene, of Revolutionary fame.
Both Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Scarborough are now living at Deering, Me. To this
couple were given two sons - Walter C., the senior member of the firm; and our
subject.

Walter C. Scarborough was born in Providence, June 4, 1862, at the old family
homestead on High Street. He attended the common and high schools of Providence
and Comer's Commercial College of Boston, and subsequently studied law at the
Boston Law School. He was associated for several years with the firm of A. B.
McCrillis, Knight & Co., wholesale flour and grain merchants in Providence, and
in 1889 entered into partnership with his brother in the brokerage business, for
which he was eminently qualified. In politics Mr. Walter C. Scarborough is a
Republican. He is an Odd Fellow, belonging to Canonicus Lodge, No. 9, of
Providence. He takes great pleasure in outdoor amusements, is very fond of
yachting, and is a successful sportsman. He was married July 23, 1895, to Miss
Alice F. Riker, daughter of Valentine Riker, of Newark, N.J., and is now with
his bride in Germany.

Howard G. Scarborough received his early education in the common and high
schools of Providence, afterward entering Brown University; and later he studied
law at the Boston Law School. He then, in company with his brother, took up his
present line of business in Portland. The Scarborough brothers handle an
extensive business and are well known throughout New England. They have been
eminently successful; and to their determination, activity, and integrity is due
the prosperity which has attended their efforts.

On June 5, 1894, Mr. H. G. Scarborough was united in marriage with Caroline E.,
daughter of John F. and Elizabeth Greene, of Providence. In politics Mr.
Scarborough is a Republican. He is a thirty-second degree Mason, a member of
Atlantic Lodge, A. F. & A. M., Greenleaf Royal Arch Chapter, Portland Council,
and Portland Commandery, and has taken all the Scottish rites
