United States Census, 1920 for Noah A Owens

1920 census information for Noah Austin Owens, from this link https://www.familysearch.org/s/recordDetails/show?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fpilot.familysearch.org%2Frecords%2Ftrk%3A%2Ffsrs%2Frr_293960191%2Fp_350500964&hash=HloWXpZgU9zB10k5M56iYku8TUc%253D

One thing that confuses me here is the presence of William in the household, unless this is Grandpa's brother Archie. I guess it must be, but how do you get "Archie" out of "William M?"

Noah's father died when he was about 11. His mother Mary (Mollie) married Mr. Stough, who, apparently died not much later. I believe her married name was Turner.

If Mollie was 47 in 1920, that would make her year of birth 1873 or so. My mom says that her own mother used to call her a "Mollie-Turner-looking thing." Doesn't sound like much of a compliment. I have a picture of the family, though. She was perfectly lovely.

When I was looking for the location of Mignon Town, I saw a web page that said the area was later named Sylacauga. Not sure if it was the previous name for Sylacauga or if the area was incorporated into Sylacauga.
