John H. Phelps was born in 1843 in Truxton, New York and died in 1896, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He was my great-great grandfather. Before I began researching him-- recently-- I didn't know a thing about him. Except that he sold "Phelp's Elixir."
Thanks to the internet, I know a good bit more and in this blog I'll post what I've learned.

The beginning, The End
Gotta start somewhere... why not the end? Here's an obituary:
John H. Phelps died on June 12th, 1898. The obituary identifies a daughter named "Aloise" but all the sources I have indicate that she is "Eloise" and that she was known as "Bertha."
