John listed as a department store salesman in the 1920 Federal Census, Greensboro, Greene, GA; John's mother and brother Sallie and Earnest L. Hall are listed in the household, but son John is missing.

Emma and three youngest sons (including another son John, age 8) are listed in the 1930 Federal Census, Greensboro, Greene, GA; however, an error appears to have listed brother-in-law Earnest as head, with Emma as his wife, and John as his brother.
