Obituary

October 9, 1929

Clarence Skinner was born near Togo, Oklahoma, on March 18, 1904, and passed away on September 27, 1929, at the Wesley Hospital of Wichita, Kansas. Clarence was hurt August 17, while employed by the Thurston and Smith Highline Company, at Medicine Lodge, Kansas, a week later he was moved to Wichita, where he remained until his death.

Clarence was married on February 7, 1929 to Mabel Huddleston of A hard. His wife was with him during his entire illness, giving him all the love and attention possible to help them over the difficult places.

Clarence grew to manhood in Avard, and here won the respect of all who knew him. He never became a member of the church, but during his illness seriously faced his moster. Some three weeks ago he told his wife and sister Mrs. Garveston, that he was ready either to live or die. What more beautiful statement could he have made to God and man?

Clarence was preceded in death by his father, George Skinner, in 1916, and his brother, Nathan, in 1925.

He leaves to finish his task his beloved wife, Mrs. Mabel Skinner, his mother, Mrs. Gertrude Bonestell, his four sisters, Mrs. Violet Garveston of Amorita, Miss Dorothea Skinner of Waurika, Mrs. Eva Mosley of Waurika, Mrs. Clara Montes of Pueblo, Colorado, and two brothers, Jodie of Pawnee and Velize of Avard.

God has taken him from us, but shall we mourn and denounce that which God has ordained, shall we not rather live to make his example not to have been in vain? For the loving kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that hear him.
