     His Social Security Number was 304-20-9907.4 Loren J. Skiles was buried at Mexico Village Cemetery, Mexico, Oswego Co., New York; His ashes were divided amongst his four biological children and his wife, Elyse. The children combined their ashes and had them interred with his second wife. The reason they were placed with his second wife is because there was already a pre-need marker in place, only the death date needed to be added. It was children's understanding there wouldn't be any other marker. I recently discovered there is another memorial. I'm not sure if Elyse had her portion of the ashes interred there or not.5 He was buried at Riverside Cemetery, Attica, Fountain Co., Indiana; His ashes were divided amongst his four biological children and his wife, Elyse.
