Simonds F. Phelps, whose death was
in these columns recently,
was born in Albany March II, 1884,
the oldest son of Seth and Laura How
ely Phelps, and died April u, 1892. His
whole life was spent in and near his
native town. He was a man Of quiet
tastes, whose life conferred in his
home, and to those who met and knew
him there his warm hearted, genial,
was for many years a justice of the
peace for the town of Lowell, lister,
ETC., and at the time of his death, was
deputy sheriff. He filed such posi-
tons as he was called to with fidelity,
but never sought an Office or position
of eminence, preferring in his modest
way to do the duty that lay nearest
him and add what he could to the
comfort and happiness of those about
him. A man of few words, his coun-
sci, when sought, was always timely
and good. An honest citizen, a good
neighbor, true friend, loving hus-
BAND and kind father, in all Of which
relations he showed by actions rather
5han words the depths of kindliness,
idelity and affection which were in
his heart. Suddenly, though not un-
expectedly, stricken in the fullness of
MS manhood he leaves many to mourn
1im and to cherish his memory for
jhe good he had done. A life full of
,he gospel Of peace, love and good
will to man has returned to it's source.
