Note: Phila’s obituary, which I have transcribed below, states that she was born in Postville. Postville, Iowa lies in two counties, Allamakee and Clayton. I believe that Phila was probably born in Clayton County, as she was shown at the age of one, living in Grand Meadow, Clayton County, Iowa, with her parents in the 1900 Census. However, I am not certain of this, and Postville is only in the findagrave drop-down menu for Allamakee County, so I am just showing her place of birth as Iowa.
