MRS. CHARLES A. SKINNER ? Almost Life Long Resident of Homer Passed Away in Syracuse
News was received here this morning of the death of Alice Hobart, widow of Charles A. Skinner. Her death occurred suddenly, early this morning at the home of her son, Hobart Skinner in Syracuse, where she had been spending the winter. F. M. Briggs was called as undertaker. Mrs. Skinner had been in frail Health for several years and has frequently suffered from severe illnesses.
She was the third daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Manley Hobart, and was born on the Hobart homestead farm on the east Little York road, 70 years ago, where she resided until after her marriage in September, 1874, to Charles A. Skinner of this village. Most of her married life was spent in Homer, but some years before her husband's death, some fourteen years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Skinner made their home in Syracuse. Since Mr. Skinner's death she had divided her time between Homer and Syracuse, spending part of her time with her son Hobart Skinner and wife in Syracuse, and with her sister, Mrs. J. N. Knapp, also of Syracuse.
She is survived by one son, Hobart Skinner, and a daughter, Mrs. Floyd Smith, also of Syracuse, and by two sisters, Mrs. Clara Heberd of this village and Mrs. J. N. Knapp of Syracuse.
Mrs. Skinner was a woman of fine Christian character and of many attractive qualities of mind and heart. Her ancestors were among the early pioneers of Homer, of sturdy New England stock. She was beloved by her family and many warm friends, to whom her death will be a severe bereavement. She was a devoted member of the Congregational church of Homer.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but the funeral will probably be held in Homer, where most of her life had been spent, the time of which will be announced later.
