It was told by his grandchildren that Cyrus loved to sing.
The words to one of the songs he sang, has been furnished by granddaught, Mirl Baxter Haun.
Mirl's mother, Margaret Ann Hembree Baxter used
to sing it to her and told her that her Pap (Cyrus)
sang it to her when she was a little girl
The link below will take you to the song.
