His death certificate states that he was a son of James M. Lewis and "Berilea Nuel Lockridge".
There are several erroneous pieces of information in the certificate that are doubtful or just plain incorrect: that Cyrus was born in Kentucky and that the Cumberland Cemetery was at Springfield are two of them. It should be noted that the personal information in a death certificate is only as reliable as the informant.
For this reason I have left the place of birth blank, but it was probably Sangamon County as there is no logical reason why James M. Lewis's wife would have traveled to Kentucky to give birth.
