Bio

Bio from "History of South Dakota" by Doane Robinson, Vol. II (1904), pp 1675-1676. JOHN A. PHELPS, one of the interested principals in the Hartford Milling Company, at Hartford, Minnehaha county, is a native of the state of Minnesota, having been born in Shelton, Houston county, on the 1st of February, 1863, a son of John and Julia (Lyon) Phelps. The father died in 1899, and the mother is living at Richville, Washington. The subject attended the public schools of his native town until he had completed a course in the high school, and at the age of eighteen years he identified himself with the milling business there, working in various mills in Minnesota and gaining a thorough knowledge of the business in all its details. In 1886 he came to Madison, South Dakota, and there held the position of head miller in the Madison roller mills until April, 1902, when he came to Hartford and associated himself with Duncan A. McGillidray in the erection of the finely equipped roller-process mill which is now operated by them under the title of the Hartford Milling Company, our subject having the supervision of the operation of the mill, which is one of the best in this section, having a capacity for the output of one hundred barrels of flour per day, while the various brands manufactured have gained a high reputation, so that the business of the company is constantly increasing in scope and importance. Mr. Phelps is a staunch advocate of the principles and policies of the Republican party, in whose cause he takes an active interest, though he has never desired the honors or emoluments of public office. Fraternally he is affiliated with Hartford Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, at Hartford, and with the chapter, Royal Arch Masons, at Madison, South Dakota. On the 25th of August, 1887, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Phelps to Miss Elva Berry, of Money Creek, Minnesota, and she was summoned into eternal rest on the 25th of October, 1892, being survived by her only child, Hazel May, who was born on the 16th of March, 1891. ------------------------------------------------------ Second wife: South Dakota, U.S., Marriages, 1905-2018 Name John A Phelps Gender Male Marriage Age 38 Birth Date abt 1867 Record Type Marriage Residence Date 1905 Residence Post Office Heron Lake Residence Place Minnehaha Marriage Date 23 Aug 1905 Marriage Place Yankton, South Dakota, USA Spouse Sara Bowyer North Dakota, U.S., State Death Certificates, 1908-2007 Name John Angus Phelps Gender Male Age 71 Birth Date 1 Feb 1863 Birth Place Minnesota Death Date 26 Mar 1934 Death Place Minot, Ward, North Dakota, USA Father John Phelps Mother Julia Phelps Spouse Sarah [Bowyer] Phelps
