  • Ralph Felton
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Ralph Felton This article is by Budd Bailey The phrase “There’s no place like home” is part of American culture because of its use as the final line of the classic movie, “The Wizard of Oz.” Ralph “Rass” Felton certainly believed in that principle, based on how he lived his life. The only interruption in his connection to his hometown came because of football. Once that was done, though, Felton went back where he started to live happily ever after. Ralph Dwain Felton was born on May 21, 1932, in the small town of Midway, Pennsylvania. It had 913 people in it in 2010 and was located west of Pittsburgh. This raises the question, Midway is midway of what? It’s the halfway point of a rail line between Pittsburgh and Steubenville, Ohio. Midway once had its own high school. Ralph has to rank second out of two on the list of famous football graduates from the town. Dick Haley, a player (1959-1964) and a front office executive who is considered one of the great talent scouts in the sport’s history, probably gets top billing for fame. But Felton did quite well for himself too. Ralph was part of a good-sized family. Father Harry and Mother Mary Anna – both of whom were born in Midway - had seven children in all. Ralph’s grandfather William was born in England in 1862 and arrived in the United States in 1885. Grandmother Ann took a similar route. Perhaps their families headed to Western Pennsylvania to find work, and stayed there for the rest of their lives.
