  Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, November 30, 1876 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Obituary - We regret to announce the death of one of the oldest pioneers and greatest benefactors of our County, Hon.

In October 1816, he removed to Watertown, where he remained till 18_, when he settled at Union Square, where the remainder of his life was spent. His early life was largely devoted to counseling, but in his later years he was called to _charge important official trusts and to the supervision of business interests. In 18_he was appointed to _of Oswego County, and was retained in that position twelve years. In 18_6, he was appointed County Judge and held the position eleven years. In 18_, he was elected Member of Assembly and was reelected the following year. Four years later, in 18_, he was chosen State Senator, to represent the district then comprising of the counties of Oswego, Jefferson, Lewis, Oneida, Otsego and Madison. Through his instrumentality, a post office was established at Union Square in 18_3, and was appointed postmaster, and continued in office until his death. As an excellent citizen and operate man, Mr. Skinner was a most excellent representative. His high sense of humor and unflinching integrity, secured to him the entire confidence of the people. He was faithful to every trust, and his duties were discharged in a manner becoming to a gentleman of his learning and excellent judgment, _ _ he leaves a record that the _generation can examine with profit. He goes to the grave ripe with years, leaving most pleasant recollections of him to the vast number of people who appreciated his worth. The funeral was held At Union Square Monday afternoon and was attended by a large concourse of mourners and friends. The remains were encased in a black broadcloth covered casket with silver mountings, and on the breastplate was inscribed the following: Avery Skinner died November 24th, 1876, aged 80 years. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Austin of Auburn, assisted by Rev. Munger, and the four sons of the deceased with his two sons in law acted as pallbearers.
