K. K. Skattebo, 71, prominent Wallingford retired farmer, died there yesterday afternoon [29 Sep 1939] of a heart attack. Death was unexpected as Mr. Skattebo had been downtown in the morning and the day before had been on the roof of his two-story house repairing a leak.

He was sitting in his home when he died.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. October 3rd at the Wallingford Lutheran church with the Rev. Peder Nordsletten officiating. Interment will be in the Riverside cemetery near there.

Mr. Skattebo is survived by four sons, Clarence, Arthur and Francis, all of Wallingford, and Loyd of Graettinger; and a daughter, Mrs. Lottie Graff of Wallingford.

Mr. Skattebo came to Wallingford 55 years ago from Wisconsin where he was born, and settled on a farm near Wallingford. He has been retired and has lived in Wallingford for 24 years. Mrs. Skattebo died eight years ago.
