Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1904-04-18

lily removed to Orleans county about sixty
years ago, residing In Albany, Glover and
Newport. Mrs Phelps had seven brothers,
all of whom served in the Civil war and
three of whom lost their lives in the serv-
ice. She was married in December, 1860,
and lived her entire married life in Albany.
Her husband died in April, 1892, and in the
fall of that year she left Albany for the
West, residing the first year with her son
at Fargo, n. D., and the remainder of her
life with her daughter in the state of
Washington. She was the mother of two
children: Geo. H, Phelps, lawyer residing
at Fargo, n. D and Ida B. wife of Chas. p.
Kimba1 residing at Bremerton, Wash.
Her tastes were quiet and domestic, and
her life was given to the servics of her fam
lily and home. Hospitality was a distin-
gushing trait of her character, and many
are these who recall the bounty of her
table and the good cheer of her fireside.
She was helpmate to her husband and q
most devoted and KIDD mother. After her
removal to Washington, having less of
family cares to engage her, she became ac-
tive in church and Sunday school work,
especially devoting herself to q class of
girls who needed a mothers care. Her
watchword was sservice," and to that she
gave her time, her thoughts and her
strength through a long life. She has
passed from our sight, but her good words
and deeds live and will bear fruit in many
lives over which her influence was exerted.
