Ora V and Delmer P Skeeters, brother and sister, are given as the children of John F Skeeters and Cloranda _____. However, in the 1910 census, both have "mother b. SC"; in 1900, both have "mother b. OH." Cloranda (in the only record found, the 1880 census) has her b. AR and parents b. OH. The siblings may be children of an unidentified son of Elizabeth Utley (unlikely) or a 2nd wife of John F (also unlikely from their birth dates; Ora was b. 2 months after the 1880 census noted above). The SC may be in error.2
