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:

Seek 1910, 1920 census for John Edward Doe:

b Jul 1899 Charleston SC/d c1960 Columbia SC
s/o Mary Jane [Smith] Doe b Apr 1870 NC
and Edward M. Doe b Mar 1868 SC
Children of Edward & Mary Doe:
John Edward b Jul 1899 Charleston SC
Peter Paul b Dec 1897 Charleston SC

m Sally Ann [Jones] b Nov 1900 Columbia SC/d unknown
m c1920 Charleston SC
Children of John Edward and Sally Doe:
Thomas John b 1922 Columbia SC
Mary Jane b 1925 Columbia SC
