JOSEPH SKAGGS was a good, humble man, of moderate ability, but of 
devoted piety.  He was licensed to preach, by Union church in Warren 
county, about 1841, and was ordained a year or two afterwards.  Soon 
after his ordination, with the aid of George Butler and O. H. Morrow, he 
gathered Harmony church in Allen county.  To this congregation, and 
perhaps to some others, he ministered a few years.  He died of lung 
disease, about 1855.
