Mrs. D. E. Phelan, 58, mother of Mrs. Lloyd Karr, of this city, died at the hospital last evening from a heart attack. Death was sudden, but not unexpected, as she had been in failing health for more than two years.

The rosary will be said at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at Foster's funeral home.

She leaves her husband, a Fort Dodge attorney, two daughters, Mrs. Karr and Mrs. Ben Levine, of San Diego, Cal., who is enroute to this city, and two sisters, Mrs. John Rabaly of St. Paul, Minn., and Mrs. John Quinn, of Minneapolis.

She had lived in this city two years with her daughter. Previous to that she had lived in Fort Dodge where she was widely known and where she was prominent socially for many years before her health began to fail. She was born in Fountain, Minn.
