I found two marriages for Silvus - I believe it could be a mistake and the were Silvers
Hamilton Co, Iowa
1890 Oct 7 - Emma J Silvus m. H. B. Dale
Hamilton Co, Iowa
1891 Feb 17 - Lottie B Silvus m. E.W. Sells
The source for both was Hamilton County, Iowa
early marriage records, 1857-1899 Hamilton
Heritage Hunters Genealogical Society (Webster City, Iowa)
I found the girls listed in the 1870 census
and they were Silvers.
