EDWARD M. PHILLIPS - The funeral services of Mr. E. M. Phillips. One of the oldest residents was conducted at his late home Friday afternoon, May 10th at 2 o'clock. He was born Dec. 22, 1820 and therefore over 80 years of age. He was married in 1852 to Elizabeth Nesbett, who died about 14 years ago. Mr. Phillips moved from Kentucky to this state when eight years of age and has been here ever since. He had a remarkable memory and could give dates of the principal events of his experience with accuracy. A few weeks ago, the Press published a very interesting article from him describing many leading events in the history of this vicinity. At the same time, an excellent picture of him was printed as a supplement. Very early to life, he united with the Methodist Episcopal church and remains a faithful and consistent member until his death Wednesday morning, May 8th. Six of his nine children are living. He was buried at Bethel beside his wife. Together they now enjoy the mansion prepared for them.
Son of Dr. Nathan Phillips & Nancy Elledge.
