Long Time Resident

Knute K. Skattebo was one of the earliest settlers of the Wallingford community. His death at 4 p.m. Friday [29 Sep 1939] at his home in Wallingford was due to infirmities of old age, altho he had enjoyed excellent health for one of his years until quite recently.

Since his retirement from active work as a farmer he had lived in at Wallingford.

Mr. Skattebo was born Jan. 14, 1859 in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.

Funeral services were held this afternoon at the Wallingford church after prayer services at the home. Rev. Peder Nordsletten was in charge of the rites.
