This is the home of Clark & Laura (Keeler) Phelps, who are seated in front. Clark Phelps was born 19 June 1807 VT and died 12 March 1897 New Haven, Olmsted Co., MN. Laura (Keeler) Phelps was born 31 Jan. 1813 NY and died 15 March 1911 New Haven, Olmsted Co., MN. I do not have a date for the picture. I do know that they first settled in Adams Co., WI in 1851 and moved to Olmsted Co., MN in 1865.
