General Notes: Husband - Adolphus A. Skinner

---

He received a fair education in the schools of his native town, in the academy at Spring Run in Franklin County, and in Miln Wood Academy at Shade Gap, in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, in addition to which he was in attendance one term at Academia, Prof. Shoemaker's academy in Juniata County. Subsequently he taught school three or four winter terms, and in 1863 entered the store of his uncle, John S. Skinner, in Fannettsburg, as clerk, remaining with him a year or fifteen months. In 1866, in company with Captain J. H. Walker, he engaged in the shoe and notion trade at Fannettsburg, under firm name of "Skinner & Walker," which firm for two years did an extensive business. On the death of his father in 1867, our subject became the owner of the home farm, upon which he resided until 1872, when he was elected register and recorder, and, in November, 1872, removed to Chambersburg, Franklin County. In 1875 he was re-elected to that office and filled the same until 1879, when for three years he led a retired life, and in 1882 accepted the position of deputy register and recorder, which he filled until April, 1884. After the spring of the latter year he devoted his attention to the management and improvement of several farms in Franklin County, and to the building of houses in Chambersburg and Fannettsville.
He was a member of the I. O. O. F.; in politics a Republican. He and his family were attendants of Central Presbyterian Church, Chambersburg.
