Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XAB.2ACI/2477.1 Message Board Post: The 1910 Boyd Co. census Durbin E.D. 16 shows a Homer Cyrus, age 5 mos., with Arthur Cyrus, 28, and Lula, 23. Arthur and Lula have been married 3 yrs. and it is Lula's first marriage and Arthur's second. Besides Homer, Lula and Arthur have a son Earl, 3. There is also a daughter Pearl, 5, who is evidently from Arthur's first marriage. Also in the household are Arthur's parents Henry S. Cyrus, 53, and Ellen Cyrus, 43, and a cousin Walter Hazlett. The 1920 Boyd Co. census Durbin Precinct shows Homer Cyrus, age 10, son of Arthur Cyrus, 38, and Lula, 33. Lula Cyrus died shortly thereafter 28 Feb 1920 at age 33 according to the KY Death Index. Other children of Arthur and Lula are Earl, 12 in 1920, Carl, 6, in 1920, and Ruby 5 mos. old in 1920. Arthur's widowed mother Ellen Daniels Cyrus, 73, was living about 3 farms away with a couple of other Cyrus farms in between in 1920. By 1930 Arthur, now 47, has remarried to Goldie, 44, and they have moved from the farm in Durbin to Catlettsburg and are living on Race St. Living with them are Homer, 21, Carl, 17, Ruby, 11, Francis Hatlen (hard to read in the census), 19, and Catherine Hatlen, 11. Francis and Catherine are listed as Arthur's step-sons. Arthur was a laborer in a cement plant and Homer was a laborer in the sheet mill. Arthur died 9 Mar 1953 in Wayne Co. WV where he was born in Jan 1883. Arthur was the son of Henry Cyrus b. Feb 1850 and Ellen Daniels b. Sep 1846. Henry and Ellen were living in the Butler district of Wayne Co. WV on the 1900 census.
