The Portland Observer, Thursday, January 6, 1916

After a brave fight against tuberculosis, Macy Phelps died on Christmas eve in 
his little shack on a ranch near Meeker, Colo.  He was a son of J. V. Phelps, 
and spent most of his early life here.  In 1889 he went to Jackson where he 
was employed in a factory until he was taken ill.  He then went to Texas and 
after a short stay there took up some government land about 30 miles west of 
Meeker, Colo., his brother Louis taking up land adjoining.

He is survived by his father, J. V. Phelps, a sister, Miss Nettie Phelps and a 
brother, Louis, who, with his wife, accompanied the body to Portland.  

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the home of J. V. Phelps, Rev. 
J. H. Stewart officiating.  Burial took place in Portland cemetery.  Macy was 
a favorite among his associates and many of the old friends attended the last 
rites.  He was 34 years old.
