Ceil,
Ephraim Tartar may have been buried in the old Phelps Cemetery that was
located 1/2 mile east of Phelps on the Carthage-Springfield Road. This
cemetery was in the northwest corner of the intersection formed by the lane
to the old Stater place. The community began using Goss Cem. in the last
half of the 19th century rather than the above-mentioned Phelps Cemetery.
The USGS topo map, 1921 edition, for this area does not show a cemetery so it
had fallen into disuse for new burials by that time. When U.S. 66 was
constructed in 1927 the stones were used for fill, obliterating the last
trace of the Phelps Cemetery.
