We’ve been receiving some great archival material from Doug Hill, whose family includes Scott Skinner, Jr. a local attorney. The family moved to LeRoy in 1875, when he was four. He attended the LeRoy Academic Institute and then entered Union College in Schenectady, graduating in 1895 and then in 1896 he graduated from the Albany Law School. In the box of letters and papers, I discovered two sheets of paper written in a wonderful script, marked LeRoy Academic Institute, S.W. Skinner, Jr. So I think it was a school assignment written when he was about 10. “Decoration Day”
