I have heard that you are interested in interviewing current members of The Silver City Guard. If that is the case, please contact me at mcovington@nevadaculture.org.
Hi Marilyn, I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw your post today. Two weeks ago I stumbled across the same article in the Townsman. I also did a little sleuthing as it said he was for West Parish. Sure enough, we have a cenotaph in the West Parish Garden Cemetery. There is also a completed obituary on him in the Andover Advertiser. He was the son of Capt. Jonathan Phelps.

Soon to be a major motion picture. What a fascinating odyssey, with challenging research!
Great story - thanks. Was it common to have such a long eulogy on a tombstone?!
Great story, Doug!
