"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 175, No 24, p 16, Dec. 23, 1963.

Hettie Skaggs, daughter of Edward L. and Evaline Clarke Whitney, was born Oct. 22, 1877, in Iowa and died Nov. 19, 1963, in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.

Married to James L. Skaggs at Berlin, Wis., July 11, 1900, Hettie served with him throughout his full career of seven pastorates in the Seventh Day Baptist Christian Ministry. Five children were born to them.

She always bore a strong, steady testimony to her Christian faith. Children's work was a channel through which she made a consistent and major contribution. Her service to the Seventh Day Baptist denomination was highlighted by the effectiveness of her work as a member of the Woman's Board when it was located in Salem, W. Va. She was a faithful member of the Milton Seventh Day Baptist Church during the later years and bore testimony by her patient, cheerful bearing of the infirmities that came with aging.

Surviving are: her husband, three sons; Allison E. of Battle Creek Mich., Victor W. of Alfred Station, N. Y., and J. Leland of Milton, Wis.; two daughters: Mrs. Kenneth Camenga of Beaver Dam, Wis., and Mrs. Charles Bond of Shiloh, N.J.; thirteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were conducted Nov. 22, 1963, in the Milton Seventh, Day Baptist Church, with her pastor Elmo Fitz Randolph officiating. Interment was in the Milton Cemetery.
