On 26 Jan 1928, the Kinmundy Express (Kinmundy, Marion County, Illinois) has, "After being separated for a quarter of a century, R. E. GARNER of Springfield just returned to Springfield after attending the funeral of his oldest brother, Lee GARNER, 34, known in Hollywood as Roy C. HUGHES. Just before he died 10 days ago, HUGHES told the Springfield man that he had seen the other brother, Elden, in the army during the war, but had lost track of him. It was about 29 years ago that the 3rd son was born in the GARNER family in the village of Kinmundy. A year later the father died. For 2 years the family struggled along, but the mother’s health was poor and there was little money, so the boys were separated. Realizing his illness would probably be fatal, HUGHES told his associates his real name and asked that his mother and brother be sent for. The mother, now Mrs. Ethel RISACKER of Decatur was unable to go to her son’s bedside, but the son took the next train west. R. E. GARNER recalled that he had seen his brother on the screen in Springfield, but never knew who he was."
On 8 Mar 1928, the Decatur Review, (Decatur, Macon County, Illinois) page 13, has, "Separated In Childhood, Reunited At Death Bed - Roy Hughes, Late Movie Actor, Son of Decatur Woman--Search for Third Brother. When Roy HUGHES, motion picture actor and later production director was buried in Hollywood California a few weeks ago it was not generally known that he was the son of a Decatur woman, and that his last illness brought the first news in years of his whereabouts to his mother and brother from whom he had been separated since childhoos. Search is now being made for a third brother whom the dyng man said he had seen in the army during the war. MOTHER IN DECATUR - The real name of Roy HUGHES was Lee GARNER and he was the son of Mrs. Ethel RISACKER 1073 West Decatur. A brother R. E. GARNER, lives in Springfield The other brother from whom search is now being made, is named Elden. TOLD REAL NAME - When Roy HUGHES realized that his illness probably would be fatal he told his associates in Hollywood his real name and asked that his morther and brother be sent for. The mother was unable to go but R. E. GARNER took the next train and arrived in Los Angeles two days before his brother died. The actor was not able then to tell much of events since the two had been separated but he did tell that he had met their younger brother Elden in the army. A letter written by HUGHES to his mother the day before he went to the hospital went to a wrong address and was returned. R. F. GARNER forwarded it to Mrs. RISACKER, who received it after the death of her son. FAMILY SEPARATED - It was about twenty-nine years ago that the third son was born to the Garner family, then living in Kinmundy in Marion County. A year later the father died. The mother's health was poor and it was a struggle to keep the family together. Finally they were separated. Elden, the younger boy, went to the family of a cousin named Van WYNER in Berkeley, California. R. E. also went to a cousin, B. F. PALMER at Effingham. Lee the younger went to freinds at Savanna, Louisiana. ENTERED MOVIES - The years passed by. When Lee was eighteen years old he went west and under the name of Roy C. HUGHES made a name for himself a a motion picture actor. Finally he went into the directing and producing end of the business, taking the leading man roles in his own productions. He formed his own company, the Amerigo-Hughes Cinema Corporation, but his illness and death brought a halt to the work. One picture, "The Phantom Streak," was produced and another, "The Midnight Romance," was in the making. It was while taking scenes of the flood devestation in the Mississippi valley last year that Hughes injured his back. While crossing the Arizona desert on his return west he suffered a sunstroke. A nervous breakdown added to his troubles and finally HUGHES had to give up work and take to his bed just after New Years. LOST TRACK OP EACH OTHER The brothers kept in touch with each other by correspondence in their younger days, but finally lost track of each other and for the last ten years each had been ignorant of the others whereabouts. LAST HEARD OF IN ARMY. Nothing has been heard of Elden GARNER since he was in the army and R. E. GARNER has asked the aid of the American Legion in California in locating him or finding out if he had died. It is not known whether he enlisted under the name of GARNER or Van WYNER. It is presumed he was with the California troops in the service R. E. GARNER also is looking up the war record of his brother Lee who was in the air service was wounded during the war and brought back before hostilities ended being stationed at a training camp in Los Angeles with the ranks of lieutenant. LEFT IN MAIL BOX - Had it not been for former neighbors of the Van WYNERS in Los Angeles, R. E. GARNER would never have received his dying brother's message. When HUGHES told his associates his real name he gave the address of the Van WYNER family in Berkeley. A telegram was delievered b ut the house was then vacant as the family had moved. The messenger boy receiving no answer to the ringing of the bell put the message in the mail box. Neighbors who saw him do so knowning that the house was vacant telephoned the company and gave the correct address of the family so the message eventually got to the right place. The Van WYNERS notified the Springfield brother. The dead actor is buried in the same cemetery in Hollywood as was the famous actor Rudolph Valentino. SAW HIM ON SCREEN - R. E. GARNER who by the way was in the S A T C at the James Millikin University during the war reclls that he has seen his brother on the screen in Springfield but did not know then that it was his brother. Among the pictures in which Mr. HUGHES participated in different capacities were Street Singer, Courtship of Miles Standish, Hill Billy, Thief of Bagdad, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Oregon Trail, Circus Days, Officer Jim and others."
