He was born abt 1866; married Ruth Jane Meadows (Lizzy). They were separated by 1940 census; and when their son, Columbus Jackson "Jack" Cyrus, died on July 4, 1944, James was listed as living in West Virginia without Ruth Jane. This obituary also states that his name was James "M" Cyrus.
I am looking for any information about this James M. Cyrus. He lived in Ashland, Ky; Wayne County, WV; Union, Perry Co, IN; Morgan, Scioto, & Ross Co., OH; Huntington, Cabell Co, WV.
