quote;
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 THORN buried in this old APPLEGREEN cemetery.
