He was educated in the public schools and at the Dry Run Academy. After leaving the academy he taught school for one term and then studied medicine with Dr. E. G. Jones, of Dry Run. He was graduated M. D. at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1890. After receiving his degree he practiced for a few months at Ickesburg, Perry County, Pennsylvania, but in the autumn of the same year he formed a partnership with Dr. R. W. Ramsey, at St. Thomas. When Dr. Ramsey removed to Chambersburg, in April, 1891, Dr. Skinner remained at St. Thomas, and continued in practice there until August, 1899, when he removed to Chambersburg, where he then remained in active practice for some years. He took a post-graduate course at the Philadelphia Polyclinic, in 1899. Dr. Skinner was appointed physician to the Soldiers' Orphans' Industrial School, Scotland, Pennsylvania, in January, 1900, and in 1901 he was elected coroner of Franklin County. In politics he was a Republican. He was a member of the American Medical Association, and of the Pennsylvania and Franklin County Medical Societies.
