John K. Skinner family.
Verified correct family by computing back from death date of 5 May 1875 less
age at death of 35 years, 8 months, 14 days as reported on Death Certificate
of Carrie M. Moor.  Death certificate does not give birthplace, however death
report of Carrie and Orlando's stillborn child on Microfilm 0010581 lists
birthplace of mother as Brewer. Died of blood poisioning.

Skinners from Massachusetts served in revolutionary war
and later moved to Corinth, Maine where a plantation was set up.  Efforts to
locate Orlando's father, Seth, indicate that a Seth Moore lived in the
plantations at time of 1820 Census.

approximated by extrapolation from death date of 25 February 1880 at age of 6
years, 5 months and 9 days, with cause of Dropsy on the Brain.

Death month and date and middle initial obtained from old newspaper clipping
sent as an attachment to a 9 March 1926 letter from Mrs. Lucy A.(Moor) Hart
who was living at 6 State Street, Brewer, Maine, to Orlando Merril Moor and
Hazel May Morrison Moor.
Clipping says: "In Brewer, Feb. 25th, Alice C. Moor, only daughter of Orlando
Moor, Esq., aged 6 years, 5 months and 9 days."

Letter says:          " Brewer March 9, 1926
    My dear Olie and Hazel.  This is the third time I have commenced a letter to
you something would cause me to lay it aside thin (sic) it would get old a I
would burn it. Now I'm going to send this if I don't write a dozen lines I have
a pen that the ink you will plainly see. Mildred and Charles have gone to
Church this eve.  They are having meetings every evening this week.  I hope
they will do lots of good.  Now about Alva Skinner.  He died quite a number of
years ago.  He was with his son in New York.  I didn't learn what caused his
death.  They didn't know where Mrs. Kingsberry was.  They had lost track of
her.  They thought she was somewhere in California.  And Alonzo Minot died a
long time ago so that family have been gone a long time.  I was out home three
weeks.  Came back to Brewer a week ago. They have lots of snow out on the hill.
   Out here it all bare ground.  Charlie and Edith came out today.  She thinks
PaPa is all right.  Charlie wants to be remembered to you. He is doing quite a
lot of painting and papering for the house.  He is a very busy man.  The boys
are making quite a lot of maple syrup. They go to school.  Evans will go in the
High School in the fall. He is 18 years old.  I must stop and you will be glad
of it.  I know my hand isn't very steady so please excuse my writing.  I
have been cleaning my room today and my hand is tired.  I hope you are all
well.  How much I would love to see the little ones.  Remember me to your
father and mother.  So good night with love and best wishes. Aunt Lucy. I will
send this clipping of Alice death."
