Sarah Rebecca Phelps was born 1845 in Fort Ann, New York to Norman Phelps and Minerva Plum Burdick . She married Joseph Oscar Shultz (b 1837 in Pennsylvania) in Fairgrove, Tuscola, Michigan on 15 Dec 1861 in a ceremony performed at the home of William Irish (who is married to her niece, Henrietta Phelps), per the Tuscola County Marriage Ledger. She died 05 Apr 1932 in Bay City, Bay, Michigan.

Sarah Phelps appears on the 1850 census in Fort Ann, New York with her parents, Norman and Minerva.

Sarah R Phelps appears on the 1855 New York State Census for Fort Ann living with her parents, Norman and Minerva.

We have been unable to locate Sarah Phelps on the 1860 census.

Our next record of her is her marriage 15 Dec 1861 in Fairgrove, Tuscola, Michigan.

The census records for 1870 and 1880 show her living in Fairgrove.

She lived in Fairgrove near William and Henrietta Irish and apparently had a close relationship with them. We find Sarah's name on the wedding records of two of Williams daughters, Mary as a witness and Sophronia as a mother! (This was after Sophronia’s mother, Henrietta had died, either an error or an honorary title?)

Sometime between 1880 and 1889 her Husband Joseph had died. She moved to Bay City, Bay, Michigan and is listed in the 1889 City directory as ‘widow of Joseph’.

On the 1894 Michigan Census and the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 Federal census she is living in Bay City at 515 Polk. The Bay City city directory lists her address as a dairy. Her occupation selling milk.

She died in Bay City on 8 Apr 1932. She is buried in Fairgrove (AKA Brookside) Cemetery. Her stone reads Sarah R Schultz 1846-1932. (most documentary information has her born in 1845 including census records for 1850, 1855, 1920, 1930, her marriage certificate and her newspaper obit)

She is mentioned as a surviving sister in the 1923 obituary of her brother Andrew J Phelps of Fort Edward, NY. On 14 Mar 1878 Sarah R. Shultz of Tuscola County, Michigan received consideration of $5 to sign off her interest as an heir of Norman Phelps Jr in the real estate of which was transferred by Norman Phelps Sr (to his children in 1839), lot 53, Lake George Tract in Fort Ann, NY. (on file with the Washington County, New York, Clerk) -see Norman Phelps, Jr property notes.

4/16/08 Terry had conversation with Dorothy Seeley (daughter of Harry Seeley). Dorothy remembers her Gramma (Sarah Phelps) Schultz. This gramma used to go for walks by Dorothy's house and then stop in to say hi. Then she would go home. Dorothy just a little girl then, remembers Gramma Schultz (our Sarah) as a tiny short little lady. Uncle Reube used to live with her she told me.
