Sorry, no help on Cyrus' wife's name; however, my family records (a 1972 genealogical search by Karen Curtis Johnston) indicates that Cyrus left at least 2 heirs: Frank Fanning and Jennie Fanning Bradley.
Cyrus was a twin to Cyrena and a brother to my great grandmother, Martha Fanning Gilbert.I have some old letters from Cyrus to Martha and from Cyrena to Martha that might shed some light on the wife's name, but so far I have not found a reference to her by name.
Cyrus' siblings were: Melinda, John, W.T. "Tom", Cyrena (his twin) and Martha Ann.
Melinda married a Moore; Cyrena married Henry Burget, Martha married William Clyde (some say Claude) Gilbert. Martha died in Washington Co., Arkansas 11/10/1913.
