  <p>Information: Funeral rites for Joshua W. (Franklin) Skeen, 89 year old retired farmer of Fletcher, were held from the Goshen Baptist Church near Kentuck on Sunday morning at eleven o&#39;clock with Rev. Vairl Winters in charge and burial was in the Skeen cemetery nearby.  The aged man died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. O&#39;Dell Hamon, in Charleston on Thursday morning.  He had been in failing health for some time and death had been expected, friends of the family said.  Long a resident of that section of the county, ""Josh"" Skeen, as he was more familiarly known to his thousands of friends and acquaintances, had been one of the county&#39;s outstanding citizens, farmer, and stockman, and despite his years continued to be interested in community activities down through the years.  Surviving are the daughter, Mrs. O&#39;Dell Hamon, and six sons: Hoyt C. Skeen, Della Skeen and Beecher Skeen, all of Charleston, Thomas B. Skeen of Dunbar, J. Mark Skeen and A. C. Skeen of Fletcher.   (McIntyre)</p>
