Notes:

WALDO W. SKINNER
Waldo W. Skinner, practising at the Montreal bar as a member of the firm of Simth, Markey, Skinner, Pugsley & Hyde, was born at St. John, New Brunswick, a son of the late Hon. C. M. Skinner, K. C. His youthful days were largely devoted to the acquirement of an education in the schools of his native city and at Upper Canada College, Toronto, and having determined upon the practice of law as his life work, he entered McGill University in preparation for the bar, and was graduated B. C. L. in 1901. In 1913 Mr. Skinner was created a king’s counsel. The year following his graduation he entered upon the active work of his profession and his course has been marked by continuous progress. He is now associated with one of the leading law firms of the City, Smith, Markey, Skinner, Pugsley & Hyde, and is actively interested in much importante litigation, in connection with which he is retained as counsel for the defense or prosecution. From the outset of his carreer he has recognized the fact that careful preparation is one of the indispensable elements of success, so that thorough work precedes his presentation of his cause in the courtroom. His reasoning is clear and cogent and his arguments strong and forceful.
In June, 1907, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Skinner and Miss Loulou Forget, the eldest daughter of the late Hon. L. J. Forget, senator. Mr. Skinner in his social relations is well known, being a member of the Mount Royal, St. James and Montreal Clubs, while his interest in sports is further indicated in his membership in the Montreal Racquet and Royal Montreal Golf Clubs. Attractive social qualities render him popular in those organisations, in which he has gained many friends.

Waldo married Marie-Alice FORGET on 13 Jun 1907 in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec. Marie-Alice (daughter of Louis Joseph FORGET and Marie-Hermine RAYMOND) was born on 5 Sep 1877 in Saint Anne de Bellevue, Quebec; died on 25 Dec 1977 in Senneville, Quebec; was buried in Cimetière Notre-Dame-des-Neiges, Montreal, Quebec.
