I’m looking for my grandfather
Horace Chase Skinner. born in 1870’s; married in Joplin area to Susan Estella Tilley. They had three children, all daughters. Emma who died young, Edith Kathryn, who married LeRoy Edgar Dufford in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and Hazel, who married Ed Beardsley in Muskogee, Oklahoma. All three were born between 1906 and 1913. Horace and Susan divorced and no one would talk about grandpa (who his parents were, etc). I sure could use some help on this. Thanks. Len Dufford. (pokeyokie1@aol.com)

Horace Chase Skinner – This is my brick wall. Because of a nasty divorce, no one would talk to me about my grandfather Skinner. All I have is his name, the approximate date of marriage (1902), place of marriage (Joplin Mo. area, most likely), and that he moved to Washington or Oregon early 1910’s. any help would be appreciated. Len.
