Dr. Philips died in 1852 and was buried in the old, now defunct Phillips-Davis Cemetery, located on a river bluff near the Illinois River. Nature has reclaimed the area. The stone marker that was placed on his grave in the old cemetery has been repaired. It now stands in Bethel Cemetery. It is not known if his remains were reinterred; but that was a common practice in the mid 1800s.
