SKELTON, John T.-(from Johnson) Uncle John Skelton, who died at his home north of Fayetteville last week, was a brother of Mrs. G.W. Stuckey of this place. Uncle John was one of the old line gentlemen and pioneers whose ranks are rapidly thinning out. (The Springdale News 1/31/08) (from The Fayetteville Daily, 23rd inst.) Washington county lost one of her oldest and best citizens when Uncle John T. Skelton breathed his last about 8:00 o'clock at his home 2 miles North of town. He had pneumonia in both lungs and was sick only a few days. He was reared on the farm where he died and would have been 80 years old in April. His father came to Washington County when he was a boy, and his whole life was spent in this community. In him passes away another of the few remaining early settlers of this section. He was an honest man and did unto his fellows as he would have them do unto him. (The Springdale News 1/31/08)∼JEFFERSON DAVIS HIGHWAY NO. 99
