                  SUFFERING OF G.M. PHELPS ENDS AT LAST
  Long and Painful Illness of Ionia Man Terminated in Death Saturday Morning. 

Word was received from Ann Arbor Saturday morning, telling of the death of 
George Morris Phelps, which occurred at an early hour Saturday. Though his 
death had been expected for number of weeks his hosts of friends and relatives 
had been anxiously watching and hoping that his life might be spared. His death 
followed the third operation which had been performed in about four years.

Mr. Phelps was connected in the grocery business with his father, the late 
George F. Phelps. After the death of his father, Mr. Phelps conducted the 
business alone for some years.

After disposing of the grocery stock Mr. and Mrs. Phelps moved to the eastern 
part of the state, where he worked as a traveling salesman. About three years 
ago Mr. Phelps was take very ill, and was taken to Ann Arbor, where he 
underwent a serious cranial operation. Since that time the family have made 
their home in Ionia, and Mr. Phelps has been connected with several business 
offices in the city.

Mr. Phelps attended the Ionia schools and spent his boyhood days in the city. 
He was  united in marriage to Miss Pearl Freeman, and as well as being one of 
the most active workers of the Presbyterian church, he was also active in the 
fraternal organizations of the city.

Mr. Phelps was a past eminent commander of Ionia Commandery No. 11, Knights 
Templar, and was also active in the blue lodge, R.A.M., and council of the 
Masonic orders.

Besides his connection with the Masonic fraternity, he was a member of the K. 
of P., and was a past chancellor of this order.

Mr. Phelps is survived by his widow, Mrs. Pearl Phelps, and one brother, 
William Phelps of Detroit.

The funeral party was expected to arrive in Ionia from Ann Arbor late Saturday 
evening.
