"On Monday morning last, the residence of Mr. Skelton, corner of Fifth and Ramsey streets, took fire and burned to the ground. The fire originated from defective flues." January, 1864, Hastings, Minnesota
J. Skelton opened a shoe store in Hastings and ran ads in 1863 and 1864, before and after the fire. Cemetery records indicate that R.W. Skelton bought a lot for John Skelton in 1864 and the 1865 Minnesota census lists Catherine Skelton as head of a household with seven children. There are a few other small notes from later years after the family left Hastings.
