The Ringgold Record, 1894

DIED SUDDENLY.

W. P. SKINNER of Conway, who has been employed on the farm of Richard LOUTZENHESER near Maloy for a month past, died very suddenly on Saturday. He was apparently in as good health as usual and was busy at work, when he fell over and died in a few minutes. Dr. WARRING was summoned and decided that the cause of his death was paralysis of the heart. He possessed a good constitution and complained but little of heart troubles, and his death came as a surprise to all who knew him. Mr. SKINNER is an old settler of Ringgold county and was respected by a large circle of friends near Maloy where he had a wide acquaintance.

NOTE: Interment was at Platte River Cemetery near Maloy, Ringgold County, Iowa.
