Biography

Carole Pyles: The genealogy complied by Robert Skelton 20/30 years ago. It said Maria's husband, Luther, disappeared, William W. Skelton then married her and they had children, next out of the blue, Luther reappeared and Maria rejoined him leaving William out. According to a yesterday's e-mail, William and Maria were divorced. In 1879, he remarried. When Maria died in 1906, William's sister, Susanna, did not want Maria to be buried in the family lot. Besides the divorce, an unstated reason was Maria was Indian. She was buried next to William, but had no marker until 1991 when her grandchildren bought a stone to mark her grave.

Had rheumatism and used opium to relieve pain.

Agness Skelton Schmidt send me her 2003 book, Auburn and Williams Township. It contains many old photographs. There is short biography for William Skelton "....He was married in 1855 to Miss Maria Ann Luther of Milford⁷
