He came with his parents to Missouri when seven years old, where he grew to manhood and where he received his education which he completed at Amity College, College Springs, Iowa.

He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Milton Sewell, of Skidmore, Mo. In 1910 Mr. Skidmore went to Davenport, Iowa, where he took a course in the College of Chiropractic and followed the practice of this profession for a time. Mr. Skidmore has been very closely associated with the development of the town of Skidmore. His interest in having the best things for the entire community was typified by the interest and leadership which he took in the Skidmore-Maitland Drainage District project, the contract for which has, but recently, been let. He threw himself into this enterprise with utter abandon, and it was one of the last things that lingered in his mind. He has been at different times, a banker, an editor, and a storekeeper, as well as a farmer. He was public spirited, always working for the best interest of the community. He was charitable to the poor and unfortunate in his own quiet way, and will be greatly missed in the community. Funeral services were held at the home in the west part of town yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in charge of Rev. J. J. Cokely and burial was in the Masonic cemetery. - J.J.C." ------------------------- According to Past and Present of Nodaway County, Missouri - Volume 2, Indianapolis, Indiana: B. F. Bowen & Company, 1910, page 1112, "Mr. [Marteny] Skidmore was married twice. In June, 1845, he married Mary J. Jessup, the daughter of William Jessup. Her death occurred in March, 1858. By this union were born three sons, namely: George, born in 1850, died in October 1872; Samuel, born in 1854, died January 12, 1884; William J., born September 1, 1857. The latter came to missouri with his parents and completed his education at Amity College, College Springs, Iowa. On July 19, 1899, while on a trip to Pike's peak, he met, at the 'timber line,' Miss Margaret Haines, of Philadelphia, a native of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, this acquaintance eventually resulting in their marriage on March 20, 1900. Both of Mrs. Skidmore's parents are dead, though she has five brothers and two sisters living, the brothers being the owners and incorporators of an elevator construction company. To Mr. and Mrs. Skidmore has been born a son, William Jessup, Jr., his natal day having been May 26, 1904. William J. Skidmore has always made his home on a farm, to the operation of which he has devoted his chief attention, though he has at the same time been interested in other enterprises to some extent. When on a jury at Maryville, a few years ago, he was asked the question, 'What is your occupation?' To his reply that he had several, he was asked what they were, and he replied, 'I am a banker for honor, run a newspaper for fun, and raise pumpkins for profit!'"
