OLIVE SKIDMORE

Death of Adopted Child
Springs, PA

  Olive Skidmore, an adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Fisher, died in the 
Hazel McGilvery Hospital last Friday evening.  She had been in the hospital not 
quite 24 hours and was a sufferer from sugar diabetes.  She was aged 15 years, 6 
months and 2 days.  Her funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the Maple Glen 
Amish Church.  Mr. and Mrs. Fisher adopted her from the Amish Mennonite 
Children's Home near Grantsville, about a year ago.  Her mother died several 
years ago but a sister and her father survive and attended the funeral.  Her 
sister's home is with a widow Zook, near Belleville, Pa., who with I.Z. Yoder's 
from there, also attended the funeral.  The Yoder's called at the homes of Roy 
and Lloyd Otto before returning to their homes on Monday morning.  These Otto 
families were guests at the Yoder homes during the General Conference at 
Belleville in 1927.
