Narrative

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 22, Ed. 1, Tree #2589, Date of Import: Dec 1, 1998]

In 1824, Judge Stephen Phelps moved to Lewistown, Illinois and opened the first store in Fulton Co. in 1824 with a small stock of goods. His son, Myron, later became his partner. When Stephen Phelps died in 1840, the business descended to his son Myron. It later came into the hands of his son, Henry, who took his brother-in-law Charles Proctor, into a partnership about 1905. . (Daughter Harriet Phelps (1843 __-__) married Charles Proctor). The store remained in the family for 95 years. Charles Proctor and Son sold to Joseph Szold and Son June 2, 1919.

Myron was a sheriff in Fulton County in 1826, Recorder 1836

He was very active in the First Presbyterian church since it began. It was said he that when he became a Christian, he "coverted body soul and pocketbook." He was very generous and probably without his financial help, the church buildings would not have been built.

Myron Phelps may have been born May 17, 1803.
