Classification: Query
As you posted your query on the WWI Draft page, you are implying that both men you seek were born prior to 1900.
Impossible to find anything on either man as you did not provide sufficient info from which to conduct an intelligent search.
Kindly be specific about what you seek [i.e. census, marriage, birth, obit, etc]. It is very frustrating to a volunteer to spend a long time gathering info you already possess. Many volunteers will NOT respond to requests for "any info" because it's many times an exercise in duplicating info already owned by poster.
ALWAYS, when requesting a search include minimum info: full name, DOB, where born. Additional helpful info to help correctly identify the person, especially with common surname/frequently misspelled names:
places [state] lived during lifetime, where/when died
names of parents, DOBs/where born
names of siblings, DOBs/where born
name of spouse, DOB/where born
names of children, DOB/where born
A brief description of where you've found other info, i.e. a particular census, etc.
You needn't write a novel, just the facrts. An example of a helpful post:
