Reference to Mrs. Pearl Skinner, confirms that she was the daughter of George W. Getman.

Jacob W. Skinner (1881-1948), was later known as Reverend Jacob W. Skinner and was a pastor at a local Methodist Church. Some newspaper articles suggest that "Fern Cliff, NY" was the Pastor's residence:

Wt1 I was thinking of asking your assistance...my wife did find the grave sites ..but we had nothing on Fern Cliff..there is a Ferncliff in our area in Rhinebeck that was a large estate and is now a nursing home but we could not find one in the Herkimer area !

Here's a wedding invitation I found in an envelope with a SC#406 (I believe - perf 12) postmarked Carlisle PA December 15, 1913 (just south of you, I_Love_Stamps, and only a couple of days off your birthday too!), complete with tissue insert and return envelope.

William McCune, as noted in the previous scanned wedding invitation, was a member of the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity:
