Obituary of Alonzo Amen Skinner

Heart Trouble Claims A. Skinner of Butler; Dies While At Supper

Alonzo Skinner, a well known farmer of the Butler and Honey Bend communities, died at his home near Butler at 6:30 o'clock Thursday evening while sitting at the supper table at the Skinner home, his death being due to heart trouble.

Mr. Skinner had worked at a neighbor's farm during the day and came home early in the evening complaining of a pain in his chest. Home remedies were applied and he seemed to recover from his pain and joined the family at the table for their evening meal. While seated in the chair, his head dropped forward and he fell to the floor. A physician was called, who after an examination, stated that death was due to heart trouble brought on by rheumatism.

Coroner Jesse M. Boyd of Hillsboro held an inquest at the Skinner home Friday morning, the jury returning a verdict that death was due to "heart trouble caused from chronic rheumatism." Those on the coroner's jury were Ira Doyle, B. F. Bowles, T. B. Gates, Albert Hardaway, John Stensel and R. M. Hough.

Mr. Skinner was 56 years 8 months and 18 days old at his death and was born near Morrisonville. He had resided for many years at Honey Bend but moved to the Charles McLean farm near Butler. He is survived by his wife, who before her marriage was Miss Sina Oller, and the following children: Bessie, Mable, Leo, Stella, Dora, Ralph Russell and Paul, all at home and Vernis of near Butler. He also leaves one brother, Wesley Skinner of near Morrisonville and one sister living at Taylorville.

The funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church in Raymond with Rev. L. D. Lasswell, pastor of the church, officiating. The interment was made at the Raymond cemetery.
