Rep. 10 Sept. 1942 Nellie Tade Phelps Nellie B. Tade, eldest child of William A. and Sarah E. (Dewey) Tade, born at Cedar Dell, near Hillsboro, Iowa, March 28, 1869, died Sept. 3, 1942, age 73 years, 5 months and 5 days. She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas M. Phelps, in 1904, and one son, Kirk T. Phelps, in 1916. Also by her mother, who died in 1881, and her father, who died in 1927, and two sisters, Alice and Kathryn, and two brothers, Ewing Orville and Logan. Surviving are her two son, Dewey B. and Thomas M., with their wives and 11 grandchildren. Also two brothers, H.D. and W.B. of Hillsboro, Iowa, and two sisters, Mrs. Lily Harlan of Hillsboro, Lola, and Mrs. Lola Morrison of Wheatland, Wyoming. At the time of her mother's death being 12 years of age and eldest child in a family of seven children, she assumed in a large measure the mothering of the younger sisters and brothers, until her aunt and stepmother came into the family, and from then on as the source of great assistance in caring for the children and helping in the home, until her marriage March 27, 1897, to Thomas Martin Phelps of Competine, Iowa, when she went to make her home on a farm near Farson, Iowa, where they lived for seven years and where their three sons, Dewey B., T.M., and Kirk were born. After her husband's death the family made their home first in Pella, Iowa, later on a farm near Agency, Iowa, then moved to Harrisburg township, and later on to the farm known as their home place, where T.M. now lives. For the past several years Mrs. Phelps has resided alone on her farm adjoining the home place and the farm home for her son, Dewey. In her youth Mrs. Phelps attended the home school then one year at Whittier college, Salem, Iowa; one year at State Teachers college, Emporia, Kansas, and finished at Central college, Pella, Iowa. She began teaching in the public schools at 18 years of age and except for one year in Nebraska and one year in the city of Wakeeney, Kansas, her time has been spent in Iowa. She was a constant student and appreciative of the limited travel experience was her privilege to have. When 16 years of age she united with the Harrisburg Baptish(sp) church, where for a major portion of the time since she has held her membership and shared in the activities of the church and Sunday school, at all times maintaining an active interest in civic affairs. Her life has been an extremely busy one, full of responsibilities, having become widow seven years after her marriage, with three small sons to provide and care for and to sent to school, yet through it all showing great fortitude and a cheerful and uncomplaining spirit. Her noble character, ideals, and supreme devotion to duty will long be remembered. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at Harrisburg church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. E.E. Niederhuth. Interment in Vale cemetery. Handwritten: PHELPS Source: Van Buren Co. Genealogical Society Obituary Book D, Page 141, Keosauqua Public Library, Keosauqua, IA
