He was born on 27 November 1873 at Weld, Franklin Co., ME.¹ He was the son of William Stanwood Skolfield and Mary Ann Swett.¹ Robert Charles Schofield began military service on 15 June 1898 at Ft. Sheridan, Illinois, U.S. Army, enlisted 15 June 1898 at Boston, Massachusetts, discharged 16 Feb 1899 at Fort Sheridan, Illinois; re-enlisted and discharged 21 Jun 1899; listed in the 1900 Census: Infantry, Seventh Regiment, Company K, Sergeant, stationed in Nome, Alaska.

He died on 3 June 1944 at Bishop, Inyo Co., CA, at age 70 BIOGRAPHY - From: Descendants of Thomas Skolfield, 1707-1796 by Ester S. DeVries; copied from findagrave.com:

Charles Thomas Skolfield / Robert Charles Schofield, was born 27 November 1873 in Weld, Maine; married Millicent Richmond Noble, daughter of James Byron Noble and Caroline Richmond, on 15 April 1895 in Phillips, Maine. They were divorced after 10 April 1897 and were remarried 19 April 1924. He married, second, Mildred (--). He died 3 June 1944 in Bishop, California.
Born a Skolfield, he was also known as Robert Charles Schofield. His birth is not recorded in the Weld Town records of the Maine Vital Records office. The date of 27 November 1873 was apparently received from a family record but his son, as informant, gave the birth date as 27 November 1874 on his father's death record.
His birth date is 21 November 1873 in his military record at the National Archives. As his older brother Clement was born 29 August 1871 and brother Marcel 26 May 1876, Charles' year of birth could have been either. His stated age of 21 at first marriage to Millicent agrees with 1873, but his age 49 at remarriage to Millicent agrees with the 1874 date. As Charles T. Skolfield was born 21 November 1873 at Weld, Maine, he enlisted 15 June 1898 at Boston, Massachusetts, and served as a sergeant in Company K, 7th U.S. Infantry until his discharge 16 February 1899 at Fort Sheridan, Illinois. He reenlisted 17 February 1899 at Fort Sheridan in Company K, 7th U.S. Infantry and remained with that company and regiment until separated 21 June 1901.
Following his military service he was engaged in mining activities in the west and was employed for a time by the Southern Pacific Railroad. He was a resident of Phoenix, Arizona, in 1924 when he remarried his first wife Millicent. From 1926 to 1935 he was employed by the California Electric Power Company. At the time of his first marriage in Phillips, Maine, his surname and that of his father appear as Skolfield but when he enlisted in the army it appears as Schofield. It is not known when he changed from Charles Thomas to Robert Charles but it may have been very soon after completion of his military service because his son says he has always known his father as Robert Charles Schofield.
