MRS. J. PARK SKINNER DIES THIS MORNING

Lizzie or "Bailey" Skinner, as she was affectionately known to her many frinds, passed away at a local hospital at 8 o'clock this morning, Dec, 19, 1935.

Mrs. Skinner was born near Tama, Iowa, July 3, 1862 but had spent the most of her life in Grinnell. She was married to J. Park Skinner on April 10 1883, in Brooklyn.

For her courage and cheerfulness through continued years of great physical suffering Mrs. Skinner has been an inspiration to all with whom she has come in contact.

She is survived by her husband, J.P. Skinner, a sister, Mrs. Elma Arthur, and brothers, "Tad" Bailey of Pipestone, Minn., and Fred Bailey of Fort Collins, Colo.

Services conducted by Rev. Robert Inglis will be held at the home on First avenue Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock and interment at Hazelwood.
