The funeral of Mrs. Rachel Skinner, widow of the late Hon. De Forest L Skinner, who died yesterday morning at 4 o'clock, will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at the home of Dr. H.M. Evans, owing to the serious illness of her grandchild, Master Robert McGill, who is suffering with pneumonia. The services will be conducted by Rev. J. B. Fleming of Chicago Heights and E. A. Oldberg, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Mrs. Skinner was born in Wayne county and was 71 years of age.
