Notes:
He claimed to have riden with Contrell after the Civil War. (Contrell Raiders)
He also claimed that he was in the group that robbed a train in California,
MO. at which time he stoled a set of wine glasses from the daughter of the
governer, which he sent to his wife Virginia.
He also claimed that he rode with Contrell using the alis name of Jim
Cummings.
Research done by Rita Tyree, a relative of Cyrus, proved that there was a Jim
Cummings that rode with Contrell, but this Jim Cummings lived his later years
in a retirement home and wrote a book about his life........ it was found that
this Jim Cummings and Cyrus were NOT one in the same.
His wife, Virginia, told her children and grandchildren that the outlaw
brothers, "the James Boys", came to there house for supper a couple of times
and were friends of the family.
It is thought that Cyrus even rode with the James Brothers a couple of
times.
