Find Living Relatives

The grave monument application was from Ancestry - he was entitled as a veteran.

I don't think there is much doubt that the info found is for the right person

Beloved Father and Grandfather

The 'Home' person on a tree on Ancestry is his daughter. The tree is owned by bk_davis61.

If you don't have access to Ancestry, look for the same tree on Mundia.com
You have to register, but it is free. Then you can contact the tree owner and ask if there is a connection - don't say at this stage that you are also Nora's daughter as Nora may have left Mr Phelps before she was born.

Use these details as given on her tree

A.C Phelps
Birth 4 Mar 1932 in Durant, Bryan, Oklahoma, USA
Death 15 Oct 1999 in Mangum, Greer, Oklahoma, USA

I'm sorry, but that also give a link to his wife really sorry but she died in 1989, the gravestone confirming her dob.

It's very sad, but i think this confirms her death


N. I. Phelps
SSN:572-44-8563
Born:11 Sep 1927
Died:15 Sep 1989
State (Year) SSN issued:California (1951)

Nora and AC Phelps are buried together according to the cemetery records

Oh bother didn't notice that.

Sorry for you loss Louise. :-(

It still might be worth contacting the tree owner to see if they are related.
Googling the details she shows for her husband brings up this. The tree does pose some questions which shouldn't be aired in public.

No mention of a wife.

Added- If the Mundia route doesn't get a reply, you could contact the funeral directors and see it they will pass on a message

In honesty I thought she may have died,but would like to know of any half brothers or sisters.

I think the daughter D referred to was from a previous marriage for J C Phelps. There is another tree on ancestry, the tree owner is the youngest sister of JC, she lists 3 marriages for him - the third to Nora x - and she has 2 children for the couple, son and daughter.

Don't know if she is still active on ancestry but the name is Margie Covey, of Odessa Texas.

Added a 1942 obituary states Margie's husband is Bill Covey.

Hey fantastic work done Flip and Det, well done you two.

Although you did feel she would have died, must be good to be able to fill in some blanks Louise....

There is another tree on Ancestry for AC (Buddy) Phelps...spouse Nora (no info)

It has a son John Phelps but only gives place of his death, no dates.....

Mangum, Greer, Oklahoma, United States, same as AC and Nora.

Owner of tree....LarryAdams475787

I can not thank you all enough,I have found the final piece to the jig-saw.You are all so kind and I am so grateful to you all.x

Louise, it's very sad you didn't manage to find her, but at least you have some closure ........ although not much comfort.

I'm afraid Mistycat is probably right about your half brother, if you click this link, I'm pretty sure it's him - and Margie Covey also has a death for John, but not the details:
