	In 1900, Enoch and Mary left the Gray Butte ranch and became homesteaders again in the Cloverdale area between Redmond and Sisters, where they practiced irrigated farming using water from what is now Wychus Creek and launched a new crop for Central Oregon—seed potatoes. In the heyday of potato farming in Deschutes and Jefferson Counties (1940-1975), the Cyrus spud cellars around Cloverdale were a prime source of seed potatoes.

	After his parents moved, their youngest son '''Warren Dean Cyrus''' ran the Gray Butte place (with time out for land-speculating in Florida after 1910), and eventually sold it to the Relocation/Marginal Lands program in '''1934'''. The buildings were razed by the '''Resettlement Administration in 1936'''.		After his parents moved, their youngest son '''Warren Dean Cyrus''' (W.D.

The buildings were razed by the '''Resettlement Administration in 1936'''.

			USFS records show W.D. Cyrus was formally assigned ownership of the property from his parents Enoch Cyrus in '''1911'''. At the same time, brother Omar Cyrus was assigned land to the west. In total, five different sites associated with the Cyrus family have been recorded within a roughly one-square-mile area: the [[Cyrus\|Cyrus Orchard]] (site 06070500509), the W.D. Cyrus Homestead (site 06070500508, just southwest of the orchard), the Omar and Hattie Cyrus Homestead (site 06070500179, about a half mile southwest), this site (the Enoch Cyrus homestead), and the [[Cyrus Barn]].

	According to Duane Ecker's 2001 field notes, the orchard contained 11 apple trees and 8 prune trees (5 needing pruning). All were pruned in 2001, with notes that juniper trees needed removal.
