Survey Date and Recorder December 2003 Graham & Barbara Hensley

From Patricia Talsness: Just to give you some information besides dates, I was told Edward Manning Phelps was a wagon painter. He lettered and scrolled wagons for businesses I suppose. One cold day while painting, he swallowed the rubbing alchol used in painting by accident and this killed him. Your dates are correct and my great-grandmother remained a widow for 55 years. When you see her picture, maybe that will explain why . . . I did visit her gravesite in Elkton, VA a few years back. Edward is buried in an unmarked grave while Ida has quite an elaborate stone. As I was told, she came from a family who owned quite a bit of land in what is now the Shenandoah National Park but was on the wrong side when the Yankees came through. She lived in a small house without electricity at the end of her life. My uncle told me he remembered her walking out the backdoor, grabbing a chicken by the neck and giving it a good swing then putting it in the pot. Those were the good old days.,
