SILAS CLOUD, Farmer and school teacher, was born in Clinton County, Ohio, on January 7, 1833, is the son of Henry and Anna (Laymon) Cloud, is next to the youngest of seven children, and is of English-German lineage.
Silas' parents were born in the Buckeye State, and lived and died in Clinton County in that State. Henry Cloud died when our subject was about two years of age, and his wife was left in meager circumstances with her large family; but Silas remained at home and helped support the family until he had attained his majority. His education was very limited in youth. After he had reached his twenty-first year he attended school about three years, two of which he spent at the South-Western Ohio State Normal School, and after finishing here, he began teaching. Mr. Cloud's first school was taught near Fayetteville, Ohio. In all he has spent twenty-eight years in school-teaching. His marriage took place in 1861, to Mary E. Montgomery, a native of Ohio. To this union there have been born six children -- Ida, J. L., William H., Albert, Thomas W. and Wylie L. Of these children four are deceased. In 1864 Mr. Cloud came to Richland County, Ill., and settled in Denver Township, and in 1875 he came to the place where he now resides. He is a radical Republican, cast his first Presidential vote for John C. Fremont, and is a member of the I.O.O.F. Mr. and Mrs. Cloud are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He advocates all public interests, and has been one of the most successful school teachers of his time.
