Biography
The Economist-Falcon (Elizabeth City, NC), 5 April 1892, page 3, column 3.
Departed this life in Mobile Ala. March 19th, in the 86th year of her age, Mrs. Mary C. Skinner, relict of Henry A. Skinner, and the oldest member of the Creecy family of Edenton N. C.
Mrs. Skinner was born in Chowan county, in November 1806 at the farm then and since known as Wakefield, near Albemarle Sound. Upon the death of her father, Nathan Creecy, she removed to Edenton, was married in 1829 and in 1836 removed to Clarke county Ala. and thence to Mobile in 1851. She leaves two surviving children, having lost several by death, her eldest son Joseph at Gettysburg, we think. She was a devoted member of the Catholic Church and was buried from the Catholic Cathedral of Mobile.
