APPPLEBACH, SCOTT & EVA (MOYER) - 65TH ANNIVERSARY

SCOTT & EVA (MOYER) APPLEBACH:

Winfield Scott APPLEBACH "Scott" was the identical twin of my grandfather Zachary or Zacharias Taylor APPLEBACH. They were well known around Lancaster, PA.  Their notoriety came from several things:

• an unusual last name
• they were identical twins who apparently spent much of their younger years in mischief and petty crime
• known for being not good husbands
• Scot was a well known bartender and bouncer, and by many accounts worked most of the downtown area Lancaster bars prior to his retirement
• Both Scott and Taylor were in the Lancaster newspaper in their later years for human interest stories 

Here is an interesting article about Scott and Eva that was printed Aug. 31, 1977 - they were noting 65 years of marriage.

Here is the marriage license.  He was 25 and already divorced for desertion of first wife.  Eva had never been married.

And here is a fancy marriage certificate from my personal collection:

Scott and Eva died within just a few months of each other.  Here are their obits.  Grandma Garner always made sure I got clippings of anything to do with family from the area newspapers.
