Newport Hoosier State Wednesday, November 10, 1880 Summit Grove, November 8, 1880 On last Sunday, November 7, 1880, the death messenger visited the home of George and Amanda Skidmore, and at half past 2 o'clock p.m., bore away, in triumph, the pure spirit of their beloved son, Josiah G. Skidmore. Joe had been an invalid for nearly 2 years, being afflicted with the disease of bronchitis, which became so severe about one year ago as to confine him to his room, since which time he has been growing worse, although he appeared to get better. Recently, the disease has seemed to be bronchial consumption, and has slowly consumed life's flame, yet he bore his afflictions with remarkable patience and fortitude. That day he told his mother not to mourn, for everything was right, and he would be better by half past 2 o'clock. He watched the clock that he might know the time. Sure enough, at about half past 2 o'clock, his body was relieved from pain and his soul released from bondage. He died very quietly and peacefully, and was conscious until the last breath left him. Joe was 20 years, 9 months, and 6 days of age.
