Note: A letter from Charles Skinner to Kathy Ufford, dated Aug 25, 1978: "I lived with grandad Hobart from the time I was 4 years old till sixteen. Most of the things I remember about was crossing the plains to California, and fighting the Indians and Mormons. He was born in N. Y. State (Henry C. Hobart). Married Sara Jane Bell, I think Iowa. Came to Hazard, I was born in Hazard, they lived in Hazard, and then to Collbran where mother was. They both died in Collbran. Stewart Clark Skinner and all his family were from Spencer (or Mencer) Iowa as near as I know. He and mother were married there, I think. they moved to Hazard. I think most of kids including me were born there, then they moved for mothers health, to Texas, and then to Fort Lupton (close to Denver) then to Molina and Collbran Colo where they both died. Grandfather Hobart was awfully religious a little rubbed off on me, probably not enough. Clare Skinner is in Grand Junction. She might help you. I have Grand dad Hobarts family Bible, not to much in it, will go and get it and see, am inclosing all I could find, Hope I will help. Lots of drawbacks to getting old, put it off as long as you can. Love Chas Skinner. P.S. I was born Nov 14, 1887. Dave was two years older than me. Died in the navy, Philipines. Court was 4 years older than me. Nina was two years younger than me. Bob was ten or 13 years younger." (Charles Skinner was abt 91 when he wrote this letter.)
