SKINNER: In Conneaut, Ohio, July 4th, Mr. Isaac Skinner, aged 82 years, 3 months and 11 days, brother of Joseph Skinner of Norwich [Chenango Co. NY].
From a Conneaut (Ohio) paper, we learn that Isaac Skinner, only brother of Joseph Skinner, of this town, died at the residence of his son, near that place, July 4th, 1877, in the eighty-third year of his age. Two years ago, he made his friends in this vicinity a visit, and will be recollected by many who made his acquaintance at that time as a gentleman of intelligence whom it was a pleasure to meet.
Deceased was son of Joseph and Lois Skinner and was born in Norwich, March 23d, 1793, being, it is said, the second white child born in his native county. When the war of 1812 broke out, he was one of the first to volunteer in his country's service, though only seventeen years old. He remained in the service until the war closed. In 1837 he removed to Conneaut, Ohio, where he remained until 1860, when he removed to Ilinois. Here he resided eight years, when he returned to Conneaut, living there until his death, having had his residence there thirty-three years in all. During the late civil war, he furnished a representative recruit at his own expense.
In 1815 he was married to Miss Mary Hascall, who survives him. He was the father of ten children, six of whom are still living. He had twenty-seven grandchildren, ad thirteen great-grandchildren.
For many years he was a member of the Baptist Church. He was an active, stirring businessman, respected by the community and lamented by a large circle of relatives and friends.

Death
Saturday's Binghamton Times [Broome Co. NY] gives an account of a fatal accident occurring in Oxford [Chenango Co. NY] on Sunday of last week, by which a little girl named Stocker was killed by a pitchfork thrown from a haymow by her brother. Inquiry on our part fails to confirm the report or to learn that a farmer by the name of Stocker resides in this town.
Chenango American, Greene, NY, August 9, 1877: A sad accident occurred on Sunday last at the residence of Mr. George Stocker, a farmer residing at Oxford. A lad thirteen or fourteen years of age, son of Mr. Stocker, was engaged in throwing hay from a shed and finally, after he had secured enough, carelessly threw his fork down, tines first. His little sister happened to be below and unobserved by him, had taken a position on the hay directly beneath the window. The tines struck the child upon the head, penetrating the skull and causing death in a few hours, although surgical aid was upon the spot in a few minutes after the accident. Mary farmers are in the habit of a similar careless practice to that from which this accident resulted and will do well to make a note of it. Binghamton Times, 4th inst.

Death of Mrs. N.B. Mead: The following from the Quincy, Ill. Daily Herald, will be read with painful interest by the many friends of the deceased in Chenango and especially in Smyrna [Chenango Co. NY], where she resided respected and beloved for many years. Her husband, Dr. Mead, will be remembered as one of the older physicians of the county who, through a long and arduous professional life enjoyed the confidence and kindly regards of his medical associates, the community in which he lived and the public.
"The death of Mrs. Mead, though from her advanced age not unexpected, cast a cloud of sorrow over the hearts of all who know her. She came with her husband, the late Dr. Mead, to our city in 1864, leaving in the east a wide circle of life-long friends, to whom she was warmly attached. Her beautiful kindly nature soon became known in her new home, and now, though her years are four score and six, we mourn her with "a love that was more than love." She was, soon after coming to reside here, called on to part with her beloved husband, and bowing patiently to the loss, she has from that time been looking forward with joy and hope to a reunion with him and her loved ones gone before. Surrounded by the devoted affection and care of her children, she passed peacefully into her eternal home on Thursday evening, August 2d, 1877.
