Another new poet to me, I found his biography:

An excellent find, Zod. There wasn't a lot to that bio, but it had his
birth date, which is something PPP didn't have. (Ancestry.com had his
death date, but only a year of birth.) So I've added that to the article.
I recognized the name ''Local and National Poets''; that's a reprint of
the 1890 anthology where I found Robert F. Skillings. I checked the 1890 edition -- he was in it, too -- and added that info to his bibliography
as well.
Scholarship lives.

Great to see obscurity cleared up once again.
