Flint Journal 12 Sep 1932
Mrs. Alice F Phelps, 82 years old, resident of Flint and vicinity all her life, died yesterday at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Edith Pangborn of Swartz Creek, after an illness of four months. Born May 23, 1850 at Otisville, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremia Thompson, she married Jerome Phelps Sept. 26, 1886 (typo, should be 1868) at Atlas. She was a member of the Atlas Baptist Church. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Pangborn of Swartz Creek and Mrs. Maud Riegle of Flint; a sister Mrs. Gertrude Russell of New York state; five grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

1910 Census says 3 children/2 living. It would appear should be 4 children/3 living. Unless Reuben A had died by that time, then would be 4/2? Alice obit shows 2 children surviving. We have arthur obit 1904. What about Reuben A???--Answer to this is that Reuben A is actually son of Leander whose wife died!! so 3/2 is corect.

2/1/1904 Flint Daily News-Flint, Michigan

(HEADLINE:) She lived alone near her son. When found her body was found lying on the bed with the clothing burned off.

Mrs. Mary Phelps met with a terrible death last evening, shortly before 6 o'clock, being burned to death at her home on the farm of her son, Jerome, on Atherton Street in Burton.
Mrs. Phelps lived alone in a little house about 4 rods east of the residence of the son named, and (her) grandson Arthur, living several rods east of her. Last evening, between 5 and 6 o'clock her son went to the house where his mother lived to fix the fire and found her seated before the stove. He did what was necessary to the stove and cautioned the old lady, who was about eighty-six, not to meddle with the fire. Shortly before 6 o’clock Arthur left his house to go to the barn to harness a horse to take two ladies who were visiting him to the electric railway station at Morrish’s crossing, and while passing the house smelled smoke. He groped his way to the chair in which his grandmother usually sat, and finding her not there ran to the bed, on which he found her lying. He was unable to carry her out and called for his father. Together they carried the bed out of the house and found Mrs. Phelps was dead. Her clothing had been burned off her body and the bed clothing had been burned. It is supposed that her clothing caught fire and she rushed to the bed and threw herself upon it in the hope that the fire would be extinguished by so doing, or that a spark set fire to her dress and she went to bed, and while lying down the spark burst into a blaze and she was burned to death. The two young ladies who were visiting the younger Phelps passed the house a few minutes before Arthur did and smelled nothing.
Mrs. Phelps was born in New York and came to Davison with her husband, R.G. Phelps about 50 years ago. They lived in Davison for about twenty years and then moved to Burton where Mr. Phelps died about twenty-five years ago. She is survived by six children. They are Jerome, of Burton; Leander, of Saginaw; Eugene, who lives in California; Mrs. Delos Cole, of St. Johns; Mrs. Adaline Thompson, who lives near Millington, and Alice of Gratiot county.
Dr. Charles was notified and went to Burton last night, but did not deem an inquest necessary.
The funeral will be held on Wednesday at 10 a.m. from the home of her son, Jerome. Interment will be made in the Kitchen cemetery in Davison.

(death certificate lists cause of death-smothered by smoke) (death certificate list John Crosette as her father, mother unknown). Deed in Fort Ann, Washington County, New York 7/12/1849, Reuben G. Phelps and his wife Mary purchased land in Fort Ann from John Crosett and his wife Lucy. Deed Liber book 21. page 178.
