Cyrus Napolean Benn aka Cyrus Runyan Mary Ann Porter
Concerning Mary Ann Porter, daughter of Theodore and Mary Porter:
she (probably, based on cemetery information) married Cyrus Runyan (aka Cyrus Benn), she (probably) died 10 Dec 1930 and she (probably) was the mother of Earl Claude Runyan (Benn) who was born in 1888 in Rimersburg and Frank T. Benn who was born in Rimersburg in 1890 (16); in the Federal Census theirs was found as the Cyrus N. Benn (17)family in Clarion County in 1900-1930; the cemetery Runyan information matches the Federal Census Benn information (with wife/mother Mary Ann born in 1862); Cyrus Benn was found in 1860, 1880 Federal Census in Clarion County, but there seem to be no Runyans (or variations) that fit the description 1860-1930; both Cyrus Runyan and Cyrus Benn died in Mar 1936 (no day) and both were buried in the Rimersburg Cemetery; both Mary Ann Runyan and Mary Ann Benn died on 10 Dec 1930 and both were buried in the Rimersburg Cemetery (16).

(17) One genealogy shows him as Cyrus Napolean Benn (George L. BENN Of Clarion County Pennsylvania at http://linnie.rootsweb.com/gbenn.htm)http://linnie.rootsweb.com/gbenn.htm); also “Could some of your Benn's be related to a Cyrus and Mary (Porter) Benn of Rimersburg, Pa; Clarion county and salem township(?)Cyrus was living there in 1924 when his sister Roseanne (Benn) Randolph died. Roseanne and John Randolph lived there in Rimersburg, Pa. when Ida was born in 1881 and also in 1889 when James Henry was born. There was another daughter named Anna do not know date-of-birth-yet but she married a Mr. Thomas and lived a time in DuBois. She also was born in Rimersburg. I would appreciate any information on these Benn's.
