	August 29, 2000	Newton K. Phelps (March 20, 1857 - July 16, 1932), son of Martin Phelps  A woman living near this cemetery said that Newt Phelps body had been moved down here from the Phelps cemetery on the hill at the time the monument was erected, implying that he had somehow paid for it.  She said they didn't think the monument could be taken up the narrow, winding unpaved road to the cemetery on the hill.  It's just as well because the cemetery on the hill is forgotten to all but the racoons.
