<< Skiatook is in Osage County, not Tulsa. This may be why you didn't find your obit. Hope this helps. >> According to book, "Oklahoma Place Names," by George H. Shirk: SKIATOOK. On the county line between Tulsa and Osage counties, 13 miles north of Tulsa. Post office established March 12, 1880. Until April 11, 1892, the official spelling of the post office was Ski-a-took. Named for Skiatooka, a prominent Osage, the community around his home having been known as Skiatooka's Settlement. A life long resident of Tulsa County (born at Broken Arrow), the municipality of Skiatook has always been included in Tulsa County's government (sheriff, etc.). People in Skiatook were active in Tulsa County elections. I am looking at an "Oklahoma Atlas" and from Highway 11 at the East end of Main Street, it appears the larger portion of the town is in Tulsa County. There is a large funeral home on Highway 11 (Peters) that has been there "forever" and a direct contact with them may be better than an obituary search. Tulsa newspapers (now only the Tulsa World) usually carry obituaries from Skiatook. The Tulsa World is online (tulsaworld.com) but, much to my sorrow, they are now charging a subscription to read the obituaries and search their archives (back to late 1980s).
