Fairbury Blade, September 22, 1888.
Death of W. W. Skinner.
After a severe illness with typhoid fever, William W. Skinner died at his home in this city, Friday evening, Sept. 14th. Deceased was a native of Devonshire, England, where he was born May 5, 1828. In 1834 his parents emigrated to America, and he resided with them in Oneida county, New York, for about twelve years, after which the family removed to Kendall county, Illinois. In November, 1860 he was united in marriage to Miss Hannah F. Alford, who with his two sons, Rodney C. and William W., survive to mourn his demise. Mr. Skinner was a resident of this community for about fourteen years, and those with whom he has been a long time associated universally bear testimony to the uprightness and integrity of his character. Strictly honest in all business transaction, and scorning duplicity in order to promote his own interests, he gained a competency that is a worthy heritage to his kindred.
The funeral was held from the family residence on Sunday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. R. B. Williams, after which the sorrowing relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting place in the Fairbury cemetery.
