Alvin is the son of David and Catherine Schrambling.

The Schramling farm was one of the finer farms of the county. As a teenager, he learned the carpenter trade. Their home was built in 1854 by Alvin and his wife Delilah. He was a prominent farmer and community leader. He made a revolving horse-rake, and also built the first steam sawmill, that was in the center of Pierpont. Alvin also played the bass drum in the Pierpont band.

Schrambling Road

Second Lieutenant Alvin Schramling served in the Civil War in Company K, 177th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The Alvin Schramling farm was on the south side of present day Scrambling Road, which bears their name and west of Rt. 7. Across the road was the Cassius Lee Schramling farm. Schramling is the original spelling, as does all family monuments in Evergreen Cemetery show, but today the road is spelled with a letter 'b', Schrambling Road.

In the December 4, 1926, Jefferson Gazette, there is an article about a barn erected by Paul Howland. In this story Alvin Scrambling is mentioned. "It may be added in honor of Paul Howland, the pioneer, that an example of his dealing with Alvin Scramblin, then a young man, should be recalled. Alvin Scramblin, came to Pierpont, had purchased fifty acres, a part of the much larger Scrambling farm. He had no place to stay, and went to Pierpont to secure lumber on credit to erect an unpretentious building. Credit was refused, and he went to Paul Howland at the mill on Angling road. Howland gave Scrambling the slabs, and Scrambling drew them home, erected his house and moved in the same day, the building was started."
