WASHINGTON COUNTY
REPRESENTATIVE, DIES
CRESWELL State Repre
sentative J. M. Phelps of Wash
ington County, a widely-known
eastern North Carolina surgeon
and former Wake Forest College
athlete, was found dead at his home
Sunday,
Death for the 54-year-old veter
an legislator apparently resulted
from natural causes, but an au
topsy was performed at Chapel
Hill.
Phelps was the second State leg
islator to die during the current
session. Fleetus Gobble of Forsyth
County died of a heart attack in
Raleigh during the early part of
the 1961 session.
Phelps was serving his third
term in the Legislature. His body
was found by a maid who went to
his home early Sunday. He had
returned to Creswell from the Leg
islature in Raleigh for the week
end. The Phelps spent a great deal
of their time at their beach home
at Nags Head.
His wife, the former Caredwyn
Thomas Sheets, was in Philadel
phia attendnig the wedding of a
niece.
A native of Washington County,
Phelps attended public school
there.
He attended Wake Forest Col
lege and graduated from the Wake
Forest School of Medicine. Phelps
then went to Jefferson Medical
School in Philadelphia.
In 1926 and 1927 he received
southwide recognition as a guard
on Wake Forest’s football team.
Phelps was also a college base
ball star.
House Speaker Joe Hunt Jr., at
his home in Greensboro, said “I
was very close to ‘Doc’ and thought
a lot of him. He was one of the
most popular members of the
House.
“He served his county well and
tended his business. He wasn’t the
type who was up on his feet all
the time. He was the type of fellow
who if he told you something you
could depend on it.”
Secretary of State Thad Eure
Said he and Phelps had been “in
timate friends for many years.
He was a highly valuable member
of the General Assembly.”
Eure explained that the Wash
ington County Democratic Execu
tive Committee would name a suc
cessor to be appointed by Gov.
Terry Sanford.
A director of Branch Banking
and Trust Co. in Plymouth, Phelps
was a Mason and Shriner, a former
meml>er of the Creswell town
board, and a member of Christ
Episcopal Church. During World
War II he served as captain in the
Medical Corps.
Surviving besides his wife are
two sons, Donald of Buies Creek
and Robert of Asheville; two broth
ers, William of Belhaven and Lind
say of Windsor; one sister, Mrs.
Alice Starr of Creswell; and seven
grandchildren.
Funeral services were held Tues
day at 3 pun. from Christ Episco
pal Church here, conducted by the
Rev. A. J. Mackie, rector. Burial
was in St. David’s Cemetery at
Creswell.
The Washington County Demo
cratic Executive Committee recom
mended Mrs. Phelps to succeed her
husband in the Legislature. The
Governor is required to appoint
her, and she will be sworn in next
'Monday to fill out Dr. Phelps’ term.

CONSIDER THE
COMPLETE COST
How much does it cost to get well these
days—compared with years ago? If we
figure only on the basis of Rx prices, it
might seem that today's cost is greater.
But the fact is that today's prescription
generally cuts down on the number of
doctor visits ... and eliminates or short
ens the hospital stay. As a result, the
complete cost of getting better is much
less now than it used to be. That's why
we say ...
TODAY'S PRESCRIPTION IS THE
BIGGEST BARGAIN IN HISTORY
