Notes for Orlando Skaggs
His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Olando Skaggs, age 37, residence Sciotoville, Scioto Co., Ohio, born 6 Jun 1881, occupation carpenter, employer James Pfiefer, nearest relative Lydia Skaggs, wife, Sciotoville.
Census records are more consistent with a birthdate in 1882. In particular, his older brother John was born in 1881.
His gravestone says Orlando Skaggs, 1882 - 1960. I cannot find him in the Kentucky death index, so he may have died in Ohio.
