THANK YOU, Dave Goldy, for that web site for the MO. Sec'y State's list. It may only go to 1910 for now, but I believe it has just proved to be a winner.! So, John O'Brien, when you go next to the library, would you please check July 26, 1908 for an E.E. or E. H. PHELPS? It is possible he might be in a column separate from the obits, as Major Guffin was. Thanks so much Eleanor

Eleanor, I checked four Kansas City papers ("Times", "Star", "Journal" and "Post"). This is all I could find: "The Kansas City Post" (Missouri) Monday, July 27, 1908 DEATHS AND FUNERALS Edson E. PHELPS, for many years a "newsboy" at Eleventh and Main streets, died last night in his room at 1231 Grand avenue. He was 60 years old and had sold papers in Kansas City for many years. The body was taken to Freeman & Marshall's undertaking rooms. ================================================= ----- Original Message ----- From: "ELEANOR McCAIN" <eleanormccain@attbi.com> To: <KansasCity-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2003 6:32 AM Subject: [KansasCity] Online deaths/etc when you go next to the library, would you please > check July 26, 1908 for an E.E. or E.

Thanks too, for this one, John. It was worth a try. Sometimes the incorrect information gets submitted by a non-relative, etc., and this would have been around the time that Mary Lina Bowdon Evans Hutchinson's third husband, Col. Elijah H. Phelps probably died. Every item we eliminate, makes it one step easier. Appreciate your help.
