At shortly after the hour of 9 yesterday morning this village sustained through the death of Mrs. Charles A. Phelps, the loss of one whose passing touches the hearts of a great many. For fourteen weeks Mrs. Phelps had been an intense and patient sufferer from diabetes. Death had been anticipated for some time, and the knowledge that the disease advanced beyond the power of the best medical skill and nursing alleviates to some degree the profound sorrow that exists today over her demise.
The first decline in Mrs. Phelps health occurred last February when an attack of the disease which now ends her life confined her to her home for three weeks. From that she rallied, but never fully recovered.
Harriet E. Mattoon, wife of Charles Albert Phelps, was a daughter of the late David and Sarah Ransom Mattoon at Albany in which city she was born August 11, 1855. She was reared and educated in the capital city of her birth, and on March 16, 1887, became the wife of Mr. Phelps. Ever since her home has been in this village, where her husband is a member of the well known dry goods and furniture firm of C. A. & A. C. Phelps.
Deceased was one of the most valued members of the Historical Club, a history society which has been in presence in this village since 1884. She was also a member of Camden Charter, Daughters of the American Revolution, being a descendant of Joshua Ransom, one of the patriots who fought for independence. In both of these organizations Mrs. Phelps will be greatly missed, but far beyond the bounds of either society the severance of her friendship falls as a personal loss, and the community loses one ever helpful and interested in all good works. Thus is obvious the general sorrow occasioned by the removal of she who enjoyed the esteem and love of all.
Early in life Mrs. Phelps united in membership with the Presbyterian church in Albany, and although an constant and always interested in the First Congregational church of this village, had never transferred her letter.
Besides her husband she leaves to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother, two sons, Howard Mattoon Phelps, a student of Syracuse University, and Charles Ransom Phelps, who resides at home; also one sister, Mrs. Marion Mattoon Fitzpatrick of Albany.
A funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock from the family residence, corner of Maine and Union Sts.
