Joseph M. Phelps Laid To Rest Yesterday

Joseph M. Phelps, pioneer resident of Montpelier, died at his home here on Tuesday at 2:30 from cancer, from which he had suffered for a long time. Mr. Phelps had been bedridden for the past two years. He is survived by his wife, four sons and two daughters, who mourn his loss. Private funeral services for the deceased were held at the home yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

Joseph M. Phelps was born in Alpine, Utah, October 29th, 1861. In the summer of 1864 he with his parents moved to Bear Lake county and located at what is now the city of Montpelier. His boyhood days were spent in assisting his father on the ranch and in attending the public schools, after which he took a special course at the Brigham Young Academy at Provo, Utah. In 1887 he took up a homestead near Montpelier and began ranching for himself.

In the fall of 1888 he married Miss Mary Osborne of Montpelier, and of this union five boys and three girls were born, six of whom survive him. In 1892 he was sent on a mission to Mississippi and Louisiana, from which he returned in 1894.
