Miss Phelps was a graduate of the Chillicothe High School in 1911. She was also a graduate of the elementary course at the State Normal at Kirksville. One week ago, she went to the Union Ridge school house near Fountain Grove where she had been engaged to teach the winter term. She had just taught one week. She was a girl who had a large circle of friends in Chillicothe and Livingston County. The announcement of her sudden death was not only a severe shock to her parents and sisters, but to the entire community in which she lived.
Besides her parents, she is survived by the following sisters: Miss Stella, Miss Irma and Miss Octavia of this city, Mrs. C.B. Holt of Newtown and Mrs. Oakley Nichols of Kansas City." The Chillicothe Constitution, September 9, 1912
