Today I found Silas Hughes in the 1920 Census for Columbus, Ohio. He and his wife Mary Davis were listed as 47 years old with Earl 19 and Ralph age 10. Silas was the son of William W Hughes and worked as a section foreman for the railroad.

Several of his brothers and brother-in-laws worked for the railroad including: William Willard Hughes & Carlisle C Horn. I know that Ralph’s children still live in Columbus, Ohio. I once had this all plotted but seem to have lost the information over time.
