BOWDOIN – James H. Skelton, 51, of Main Street died unexpectedly Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021 at his home. He was born in Lewiston on Jan. 31, 1969, the son of William and Dorothy Hershey Skelton. He attended Mt. Ararat and was a 1987 graduate. Jim worked as a carpenter for many years. He then started his career at BIW, where he continued working until his passing.
