Biographical Notes |
Note: 1920: Ironton, Lawrence Co., Ohio: Silas, 31, and Virginia, 29, lived in Ironton, Ohio, where Silas' work had something to do with "Ladies." [I couldn't decipher the writing on the census form.] It looks as if they have a son [Alexander] who was born in West Virginia and who is 4 years and 6 months old. 1930 Beverly Hills, Los Angeles Co., California: Silas V. is 41 yrs and rents a house for $65 per month. His work is "management receivership." He and Virginia, 39, have three children, Alexander 14, Billie Jean 7 and Silas V. (Jr.) three years. Alexander was born in West Virginia, but Billie Jean and Silas were both born in California. Also living in the Phelps household were Virginia's mother, Mary E. Cook 75 yrs, and Silas' sister-in-law Mary Weaver 32, who had been born in Iowa.
