Thanks to I remember when. . . (#47097113)
for SAC containing the following information:
Her middle initial is B instead of M.
The stone has that and also the cemetery records are listed as Ellen B Phelps.
Her grave location is:
Family Estate Bl 45 Lot 20 Sp 3
~*~
I would assume the M is a mistake, unless it's the initial of her maiden name. I certainly wish this practice had never started, and they would stop it.
It would seem the obit is correct and the B is for maiden name and the M. is middle name.
