On July 4, 1901, he was united in marriage to Miss Effie M. Roop at her home in Hedrick. To this union four children were born: Waldo of this city; Helen, a teacher in the schools at Clermont, Iowa; Paul, and Mrs. Winifred Edwards both of Mt. Pleasant. These together with Mrs. Phelps are left to sorrow in the passing of Mr. Phelps. Other relatives are a brother, O. O. Phelps of Chehallis, Washington, a sister, Mrs. T. J. Hawthorne of Evansville, Wisconsin; and one grand-son, Edmund Eugene Edwards of this city. One grand-son, Richard Lynn Phelps, preceded him in death. Mr. Phelps prepared himself for teaching in the Public Schools by attending college at Pella, Iowa. After a time spent in this work he entered business and later became county auditor of his home county. In 1918 he came to Mt. Pleasant as business manager of Iowa Wesleyan college. After about two years of service with the college he entered the First National bank of Mt. Pleasant as cashier, which relation he sustained until July, 1926, when he resigned to accept the call to the presidency of the newly organized State Trust and Savings bank of this city. He continued in this latter position until a short time before his death. In early youth he united with the Baptist church of his community; but later transferred his membership to the Methodist Episcopal church of which he remained a faithful and devoted member until his death, filling many important positions and doing efficiently the many tasks of the church and Sabbath school that came to his hand to do. For many years he held the position of treasurer of the First Methodist church of this city. His ability as a teacher kept him constantly employed in the Sabbath school. Source: The Mt.
