I was told the Scivally family that is mention on here Arlie.

Arlie had a sizeable population of about 25 families in the area before the first post office was established.  In addition to the post office, there was a school, a church, a gasoline pump station, a blacksmith shop, a
grocery store, a hotel, a cotton gin, and a general merchandise store that later housed the post office. The cemetery has about 250 graves dating from 1888.

Surnames of early settlers: Adkins, Alexander, Arnn, Balch, Beal, Bearden, Bell, Bennett, Black, Bomer, Brown, Calcote, Caver, Chappell, Clark, Coleman, Covey, Connard, Cornelius, Crawford, Culbank, Davenport, Deahl, Eliott, Epps, Fields, Forbis, Garrison, Gardner, Greer, Hamman,  Hays, Hill, Hunt, Jones, Kelly, Lemons, Lawrence, Mannahan, McClendon, McKnight, Mills, Motsenbocker, Nalley,Newman, Nichols, Overacre, Owens, Payne, Poling, Reid, Reynolds, Robertson, Savage, Scivally, Scott, Stephenson, Stogsdill, Ticer, Tinsley, Vest, Wagener, Walker, Walls,  Welch, West, Wilks, Woods, and Wyrick.
