CHEROKEE COUNTY REPUBLICAN
 WIFE- CORINTHIA D. 
OBIT:
 MAJOR VINCENT PHELPS BORN IN SENECA COUNTY, NEW YORK, AUGUST 1, 1816, DIED 
AT HIS HOME IN BAXTER SPRINGS, KAN. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1903 AGED 87 YEARS, 
3 MONTHS AND 28 DAYS. HE WAS THE ELDEST OF TEN CHILDREN, THE YOUNGEST OF 
WHOM GEO.H. PHELPS, VISITED HIS BROTHER TWO YEARS AGO AND STILL SURVIVES.
HE CONTINUED TO RESIDE IN NEW YORK UNTIL HE WAS 23 YEARS OF AGE, WHEN HE 
REMOVED TO CRAWFORD COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, WHERE HE ENGAGED IN THE 
LUMBER BUSINESS AND AFTERWARDS IN RAILROADS. THE RAILWAYS OF THE TIME 
WERE OWNED BY THE STATE AND HE BECAME IDENTIFIED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION 
DEPARTMENT. AFTERWARDS BECOMING A CONDUCTOR, SUBSEQUENTLY HE BECAME 
SUPERINTENDENT AND REMAINED ACTIVELY IN THE MANAGEMENT FOR SEVERAL 
YEARS.
IN THE YEAR 1858 HE CONDUCTED A TRAIN OF EMIGRANTS ACROSS THE PALINS TO 
CALIFORNIA, BUT RETURNED TO PENNSYLVANIA. WHEN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION 
BROKE OUT HE TENDERED HIS SERVICES TO HIS STATE AND WAS GIVEN POSITIONS 
OF GREAT RESPONSIBILITY WHICH HE FILLED WITH CREDIT AND HONOR TO HIMSELF. 
HE CONTINUED IN THE SERVICE UNTIL THE CLOSE OF THE WAR AND RETURNED TO 
PENNSYLVANIA AFTER IT’S CLOSE.
IN 1868 HE CAME TO KANSAS, AND HAS SINCE CONTINOUSLY RESIDED IN THE COUNTY, 
MOST OF THE TIME ON A FARM IN SPRING VALLEY TOWNSHIP. FOR THE FIRST TWO 
YEARS HE LIVED IN BAXTER SPRINGS, RETURNING TO THIS CITY AGAIN IN 1897. HE HAS 
BEEN A PART OF THE CITY AND COUNTY’S HISTORY PRACTICALLY FROM IT’S FIRST 
SETTLEMENT. HE WAS WIDELY KNOWN IN THE YEARS FOR HIS HEALTH AND STRENGTH, 
AND ALWAYS BORE AN ACTIVE AND LEADING PART IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMMUNITY.
ON THE 23RD DAY OF MAY, 1850 MAJOR PHELPS WAS REGULARLY INITIATED AS AN 
ENTERED APPRENTICE INTO THE MYSTERIES OF MASONRY. AT HOLIDAYSBURG, PA. 
PASSED TO THE DEGREE OF A FELLOW CRAFT ON JULY 3RD OF THE SAME YEAR; AND 
ON THE 14TH OF THE FOLLOWING AUGUST, RAISED TO THE SUBLIME DEGREE OF A 
MASTER MASON. FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY, THEREFORE, HE HAS BORNE THE 
RESPONSIBILITIES, AND ENJOYED THE FRUITS OF ANCIENT CRAFT MASONRY. AT THE 
TIME OF HIS DEATH HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE OLDEST MASON IN POINT OF 
YEARS AND AFFILIATION WITH THE INSTITUTION IN THIS PART OF KANSAS, IF NOT THE 
WHOLE STATE. TO HIM MASONRY WAS ALWAYS A REFUGE FOR COMFORT AND 
STRENGTH, AND WHILE IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS OF 
THE FRATERNITY DURING HIS LATE YEARS OF SUFFERING, YET HE ALWAYS BORE 
HIMSELF BEFORE GOD AND HIS FELLOWS AS A JUST AND UPRIGHT MASON.
ALTHOUGH NOT A CHARTER MEMBER OF BAXTER LODGE, NO. 71 HE BECAME A 
MEMBER BY DIMIT IN ITS FIRST DAYS OF EXISTENCE, AND HAS SINCE CONTINUED A 
MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING. WHILE WE CAST THE SYMPATHIC TEAR OVER HIS GRAVE 
LET US CAST AROUND HIS FOIBLES, WHATEVER THEY MAY HAVE BEEN, THE BROAD 
MANTLE OF MASONIC CHARITY. HIS VIRTUES ARE WELL KNOWN AND FOR THEM WE 
FREELY GIVE OUR COMMENDATION, AND IF HE HAD WEAKNESSES WE MAY SUFFER 
THE APOLOGIES OF HUMAN NATURE TO PLEAD FOR HIM.
MAJOR PHELPS WAS TWICE MARRIED. THE FIRST TIME IN 1841, HIS WIFE BEING MISS 
ELIZA STEVENS. SHE LIVED BUT TWO YEARS. FOR HIS SECOND WIFE HE TOOK A 
SISTER, MISS CORINTHA D. STEVENS, IN THE YEAR 1845. THEY LIVED HAPPILY
TOGETHER FOR 47 YEARS. MRS. PHELPS DIED IN 1892. SURVIVING HIM HERE IS HIS 
ADOPTED DAUGHTER AND NIECE, MISS ALICE, WHOSE FAITHFUL DEVOTION TO HIM 
DURING ALL THE YEARS OF HIS INTENSE SUFFERINGS IS KNOWN TO US ALL.
IN POLITICS THE MAJOR WAS AN UNCOMPROMISING DEMOCRAT, ONE OF THE KIND 
KNOWN AS THE OLD SCHOOL. HE BELIEVED IN IT’S PRINCIPLES FROM THE HONEST 
CONVICTIONS OF HIS HEART, AND TOOK NO TROUBLE TO EVER CONCEAL THEM. HE 
WAS, MOREOVER, A PATRIOT, WHOSE FERVOR RAISED HIM ALWAYS ABOVE POLITICAL 
ASSOCIATIONS, AND IT’S CONSIDERATIONS. HE REVERED THE MEMORY OF MCKINLEY, 
NOT AS A PARTISAN, BUT AS A PATRIOT, A SOLDIER, A STATESMAN, A GENTLEMAN 
AND A CHRISTIAN.
COVERING PRACTICALLY THE ENTIRE PERIOD OF HIS LATE RESIDENCE IN THIS CITY 
HE HAS BEEN AN INVALID, BUT HE BORE HIS SUFFERINGS PATIENTLY, AND WITH THE 
FORTITUDE OF A TRUE SOLDIER. WHILE HIS BODY WAS WRACKED WITH PAIN, HIS MIND 
WAS NEVER AFFLICTED, AND THE VISITS OF HIS NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS MORE 
ESPECIALLY HIS BROTHER MASONS; WERE TO HIM MOMENTS OF GRAT PLEASURE. 
FUNERAL SERVICES UNDER TH AUSPICES OF BAXTER LODGE OF MASONS WERE 
HELD AT THE RESIDENCE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. REV. A CULLISON AND THE 
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH CHOIR ASSISTED.
