Death of Old Hawarden Physician

Word was received in Hawarden last week of the death of Dr. O. W. Phelps which occurred at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. C. Wheiland, at New England, N. D. last Friday evening. Dr. Phelps was one of the pioneer practitioners of Hawarden and at one time also conducted a drug store here in connection with his medical practice. He left Hawarden many years ago and located at Kanawha IA, where he practiced for a few years but returned again to Hawarden a few years later and resumed his medical practice here. Later he went to Lemmon SD, where she conducted a drug store and practiced his profession for several years. He retired from active practice some time ago and has since made his home with his daughter at New England. His wife [Ida Patterson] died a few years ago. Besides his daughter he is also survived by one son, Roy Phelps. The deceased was a veteran of the Civil war and had many friends in this community who will learn of his death with sincere regret.
