FRITZ E. SKINNER, M. D.
 Dr. Fritz E. Skinner, who is successfully engaged in the practice of medicine in Joplin, is among the more recent arrivals, but already his skill and professional knowledge have won, recognition in a liberal and constantly growing patronage. He is a native of Illinois, his birth having occurred near Jacksonville, Morgan county. The Skinner family were from New Brunswick, and the father of our subject, Dr. B. H. Skinner, was born in Queens, New Brunswick. He became the best known and most prominent physician of Jacksonville, where he located about 1880, and where for a number of years he enjoyed a very extensive and profitable patronage. He married Miss Eliza Stewart, a daughter of Dr. H. M. Stewart, who represented an old Kentucky family. Not only the maternal grandfather and the father of our subject were physicians, but four of his uncles also engaged in the practice of medicine. Perhaps an inherited tendency had something to do with the boy’s choice of a profession, but even so, an inherited tendency is only a latent power which must feel the awakening touch of effort to be of any avail in the active affairs of life. He pursued his early education in the public schools of his native city and afterward entered Illinois College, of Jacksonville, where his literary course was completed. Resolving to make the practice of medicine his life work, his reading was for a time pursued under the direction of his father and later he attended the Marion Sims College, of St. Louis, where he was graduated. with the class of 1892. He then returned to Jacksonville, where he engaged in practice and for a time was also a medical practitioner of St. Louis. In that city in 1898 he pursued a post-graduate course in the Barnes College, and then came to Joplin, where he has since made his home. His college training and practical experience well qualified him to take up his work here, and he soon demonstrated his ability to successfully cope with the intricate problems concerning disease and health. He served as city physician here for one year, was vice-president of the County Medical Society, in which he still retains membership, and is a member of the Academy of Medicine of Joplin.
 In May, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri, was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Skinner and Miss Ella B. Burge, of that city, a most estimable lady, whose hospitable home is a favorite resort with the many friends she has made since coming to Joplin. In his political views the Doctor is a Republican and is deeply interested in the growth and success of the party, although he takes no part in its work, owing to the demands of his profession upon his time and attention. Socially he is a member of Mineral Lodge, No. 330, I. 0. 0. F., of Joplin; also a medical examiner of the Modern Woodmen of America, of which he is an active member. In religious faith he is a Presbyterian. He is always courteous, kindly and affable, and those who know him personally have for him warm regard.

From the Scranton Tribune, Scranton, Pa., Friday morning, October 8, 1897.
“Fate of Nora Harris.” Coroner’s Jury Decides That She Was Murdered.
Jacksonville, Ill., Oct. 7. – Miss Nora Harris, who died Sept. 11, as the reported result of a buggy accident, was disinterred yesterday, and, according to the verdict of the coroner’s jury, was found to have been murdered.
Dr. Fritz Skinner is charged with causing her death by a criminal operation, and Adam Large, her stepfather, and William Hobson, her lover, are declared accessories. Warrants are out for the three men, but they have disappeared.

From The Minneapolis Journal, October 13, 1897.
“One More Unfortunate.”
St. Louis, Oct. 12. – Sheriff Hardin COX of Morgan county reported here this forenoon having in custody Adam LARGE and William HOBSON, against whom warrants are out charging them with murder of Nora HARRIS, stepdaughter of the former and sweetheart of the other man. The prisoners, who were captured in Van Buren, Ark., were taken to Jacksonville, arriving there at noon. A doctor is also under arrest at Jacksonville as an accomplice.

From The Decatur Daily Review, December 3, 1897.
“Turns State’s Evidence. – Norra Harris’ Stepfather Testifies Against Accomplices.”
Jacksonville, Ill., Dec. 2. – This morning in the trial of Dr. Skinner with Large and Hobson for causing the death of Nora Harris, Large, the stepfather of the girl, turned state’s evidence and caused the other prisonners to turn pale with fear. The trial bids fair to fasten the guilt of killing an innocent girl on Hobson and Skinner, thouth there seems to be little doubt that her mother, Mrs. Large, and stepfather were accessory. The affair has caused great excitement and public feeling is very strong.

Fritz married Ella Belle BURGE in May 1888 in Saint Louis, Missouri. Ella (daughter of John BURGE and Sarah King NEIL) was born on 13 Dec 1870 in Black River Falls, Jackson, Wisconsin; died on 8 Jan 1916 in De Soto, Jefferson, Missouri; was buried in City Cemetery, De Soto, Jefferson, Missouri.
