!SKU 14(3)66 Ruttenber, EM & Clark, LH. (1881). History of
Orange County, New York. Philadelphia: Everts & Peck. pages 752-3. SFA
ref # 36: Spent his early life under the parental roof. He afterwards, in
company with his father, repaired to Canada, and later to Ohio. With no
resources at command other than those which nature had provided him,
and equipped with a brave heart and a ready hand, he began the battle of
life. Believing an hones trade to be among the most honorable of
employments, he acquired that of a carriage-maker, and in 1839 removed
to Port Jervis, where for fourteen years he devoted himself with
unremitting industry to his mechanical occupation. Having previously
had no opportunities of education, he availed himself on hi return to the
East of forty days at the public school. The acquirements of Mr. Skinner
during this brief period, though of necessity limited, enabled him to gain
the rudiments which greatly assisted in his future career. In 1840 he
was married to Miss Aseneth, daughter of John D. Carpenter, whose
family were early settlers at Carpenter's Point, where his father was an
extensive land-owner and largely interested in business enterprises.
In 1853 retired from business, and three years later purchased his
present residence, located on the east bank of the Neversink, and
adjoining the corporation of Port Jervis. Since that time he has
followed agricultural pursuits, varied by occasional operations in real
estate. In politics Mr. Skinner is an ardent and uncompromising
Republican. Official life presents for him no attractions; his name will
not, therefore, be found upon the roll of office-holders. His religious
belief is in harmony with the creed of the Reformed Dutch Church, to
which he contributes a liberal support, and of which both Mrs. Skinner
and her daughter-in-law are active members.
