Cyrus Mims was instrumental in passing legislation to aid farmers in the state.
Even after Cyrus Mims died in 1923 and their son and daughter-in-law (Sidney and Cornelia) were the ones to inherit the home place and all of the property, she (as the matriarch) was always in charge - particularly in the house.

 Romantic History and the Mound Builders
Thomas did some of the best research ever in the field of American archaeology, even when compared to modern times, but he also recognized the inherent problems in American archaeology that remain even to this day.
Although Thomas had given proof that the Cahochez Empires existed into historical times and settled the debates surrounding the culture, many of the old arguments have risen again in the 20th century.
