by her grandson; Artison Skilton Clark, at that time the best able to recall memories of "Grand- mother Chloe." "Chloe (Steele) Skilton, wife of Captain James Skil- ton, was a woman with marked force of character which exhibited itself in all the details of the home life, as well as in all the activities with which she was connected. The mother of ten children, her sphere was largely in the home where economy and executive ability were ever apparent. Her children, with the exception of Elijah, the oldest, woere born at the Skilton Homestead in the French Mountain district, North Watertown, in a house built for the young couple in 1801 and still standing at this date. (1918) "She was a woman commanding the love of all who knew her, kindly, sympathetic, attending all the needs of her numerous family with time to spare for aid and sympathy extended to sick and needy ones outside. Truly many there will be who will 'rise up and call her blessed'. It was my privilege to know her intimately the last few years of her life, as they were spent in my own home in Middle- bury. As I look back to those years, I am impressed with her marked personality. She was possessed of a never failing fund of humor which presented it- self when relating incidents which occurred during her entire life. She was a Christian of the sincerest type and her children reflected in their lives the in- fluence which her precept and example had upon them. She was uncomplaining while bearing the se- vere infirmities of age, ever resting in the belief that everything was for the best. She was exceed- ingly fond of receiving visits from the various mem- bers of the family and could entertain them in a remarkably easy and courteous manner. The First Family Reunion was held at her home in Middle bury and no one of the numerous relatives and friends present enjoyed the occasion more than she. She was a true type of the sturdy New England Puritan stock and made a place for herself in the Skilton Family which has left its stamp.
