Colwell Family from Wilkes-Barre area of PA

The 1920 Census for Hughestown, Luzerne, Pennsylvania shows her (Ruth Ella Colwell) as age 11 living with her father Samuel, her mother Agnes and the same siblings you show. Hughestown, PA looks like it must have been a mining town as most of the men are listed as working for the coal company including Ruth's 17 year old older brother William.

If you don't already have this info from the 1920 census let me know and I'll provide you with full info.

To confirm that were talking about the same family...Was Ruth's mother named Agnes and born in Pennsylvania and her grandfather born in Ireland?

I would really appreciate it. She cared for my siblings and I so our parents could work and I remember her telling me that her father was from Ireland but as I said I can't really remember any details. She was a wonderful story teller its just too bad that I never thought to write anything down while she was alive. My dad confirmed that her mother was Agnes and her father was Samuel. (Dad is really elderly and he can't remember things very well anymore) Thanks!
