A. Warren Phelps
A.

== Background ==
He was born August 11, 1829 in Fort Covington, New York, son of Daniel and Levica Phelps, both descendants of the Pilgrims; his mother was a cousin of Daniel Webster and a descendant of Doctor and General Joseph Warren. The Phelps family moved in 1838 to Wisconsin, settling for about a year in Johnstown before removing to Milwaukee. Warren studied mostly under private tutors, and finished his schooling at Dr. Buck's private academy. After finishing school, he worked for his father, a tanner, and then for two years as a travelling salesman for a patent medicine company.
Disliking the sales business, he began to work as a bookkeeper for various local businesses, eventually becoming a partner in the lumber business of Benjamin Bagnall in 1857. He remained in this business until 1870, when he went into the coal business instead, at first in partnership with S. L. Elmore as "Elmore and Phelps" and then from 1875 on his own.〔"A.
