The Skidmore connection is a dead end. Like I said previously the Skidmores are a polygamous family. One half lives in the valley or in Eastern Idaho. That half has stayed LDS and is well connected with each other. The line that W.L. Skidmore (our architect) came from is scattered all over the West and points beyond. Most are not LDS, though there are six other architects of various generations, and they have little contact with each other. Also most are not LDS and know little of their family history. I think I have gathered more than they have!
Most of the contacts were excited that I had found that their great or great great grand father was an architect but that was all. Dead end on that front.
Though I did find out that W.L. did die in Blackfoot, ID in the 1970's.
