DEATH'S HAND TOUCHES WELL KNOWN LAWYER AND POET.
Death has claimed one of the most eminent lawyers and best known literary workers of the state. George S. Phelps of Leadville and Denver died at his home in this city, 246 South Sherman Avenue, about noon yesterday. Death was very sudden and was caused from pleuro-pneumonia. Mr. Phelps came down from Leadville four or five days ago. He was ill then, but his condition was not considered serious until midnight Wednesday night. Definite arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made, but it will probably take place tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from the residence. Burial will be at Fairmount. Besides the widow, Mr. Phelps is survived by his daughter, the widow of Fred White, Jr., who died in Pueblo several months ago, a son Herbert, who is connected with the Sullivan Machinery Company, and five small children.
Mr. Phelps came to Colorado from his birthplace, Brown County, Illinois, and settled in Leadville in the early eighties. He practiced law for several years and was then elected county judge of Lake County. After his term expired he again resumed the practice of law, which he has continued ever since.
