Tull Phelps

    Tull Phelps, eldest son and second child of F. P. A. Phelps, was born January 26, 1851, in Martinsville, where he was reared and educated. When nineteen years of age, he went into the employ of N. T. Cunningham, a general merchandise merchant of Matinsville, and remained with him for about one year. He then attended Bryant & Stratton's Commercial College at Indianapolis, where he took a course in bookkeeping. Returning to Martinsville, he began the study of law with his father, which he continued for some time, afterward being again employed by the same firm, in which he had formerly been as bookkeeper, the firm name of N. T. Cunningham & Co. for five years, when a  third interest was purchased. The business has since then been conducted under the firm name of Cunningham, Bollinger & Phelps, and is in a flourishing condition.

    Mr. Phelps was married December 20, 1876, to Lina E. Olds, daughter of George Olds, a pioneer of Morgan County, the Rev. W. T. Furgeson performing the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Phelps are identified with the Presbyterian Church, and Mr. Phelps is a prominent member of the Republican party.
