From a bound volume of Cherry Creek News owned by the Fenton Society we found this "Feb. 16, 1900 Ellington: Cyrus Andrus died Feb. 12 1900 at his home aged 85 yrs 8 mos." And in the Feb. 23 edition of News: "Cyrus Andrews was born in Middletown, Rutland County, VT 12 July 1813. At the age of 18 (1831) he settled in the Town of Gerry where he resided over 29 years. He removed to Ellington in 1860 to the farm where he has since lived. In 1841 he married Lydia WARD who died in 1843. He married second 24 Sept. 1844 Clarissa THORN who survives. Also surviving is one daughter Mrs. Lemira Andrus Baldwin and two sons Hiram and Adelbert ANDRUS ." He is buried on lot 142 in the Valley View Cemetery out of Ellington with Adelbert and Hiram and their families and Clarissa 1824-1914. We suspect Clarissa may be a daughter of John and Mahala Thorne buried in this old APPLEGREEN cemetery.
