was buried in the Robertson Cemetery in Weld.
The following information is from the notes of Stanton Storer Skolfield:
After his marriage he settled on a large farm located a short distance above Upper Village, Weld, on the road to Phillips, Maine. Here all his children were born and raised. He was a great lover of horses and made a specialty of breeding them for the race track, many of them always taking prizes at county and state fairs. One of the best of these was named Katie Belle from the
name of his oldest daughter. The family was awakened one night to find their largest set of buildings in flames and all were hastily driven from the houses some narrowly escaping. The family later moved to Phillips Village and
engaged in the hotel business. The children of William Stanwood4 Skolfield and Mary Ann Swett were:
