This is the final set of photos from Skidmore. As I indicated in the earlier posts the town has been on a downward spiral ever since the McElroy killing. It is not something completely uncommon to other small midwestern towns that have dried up over the years. I am sure that if McElroy were alive today he would take pleasure in knowing that the town has paid a high price for their silence.
