Died:
Skinner
On Saturday March 21st, at her residence in Cass County, Mrs Permelia, wife of Thomas
Skinner, aged about 70 years. The deceased was a native of Tennessee but in early youth
emigrated to Ohio with her parents and thence 30 years later, with her husband and large
family to their wild wood house in Indiana, where she lived to see the dense forest
transformed into a garden - living more than 30 years on the same farm. Forty-eight years
of wedded life she lived with her husband who, aged and feeble, still survives though
deeply afflicted by this first visit of the Death Angel to his peaceful family circle. Six
sons and 3 daughters - all married - mourn the loss of a kind and much loved mother, who
filled up the span allotted mortals for their earth life. faithfully she labored while
living - peacefully died - amd happy will be her Heavenly life.
