Phelan, John (deceased).—The late John Phelan, the eldest son of Edward and 
Margaret (Long) Phelan, was born at Troy, N. Y., and had but one brother, 
Edward. Mr. Phelan came at an early age with his parents to Illinois, where he 
grew to manhood, being engaged in farming.

On October 10, 1876, John Phelan was united in marriage to Sarah McClintock, 
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McClintock, and to their union was born 
eight children: Margaret, Edward, John, Hugh, Sade, Will, Mary and Catherine.

In 1902 Mr. Phelan purchased a farm in Grundy County, which he cultivated 
until his death, which occurred December 13, 1910. At the time of his death he 
owned 520 acres of land in the southwestern part of Grundy County. In his 
religious belief Mr. Phelan was a staunch Catholic. He belonged to the 
Republican party, but took no active part in politics, although always 
interested in the general welfare of the community. His estate is now managed 
by his widow and children.
