Daughter of William Phillips and Cordelia (Hull) Phillips.

His homestead adjoined the Phillips farm and on this farm they resided until February 1889 when they bought a farm west of Edna, Labette County, Kansas. In 1900 they retired from the farm and moved to Edna, Labette County, Kansas where they continued to live until David died in 1934. After that time she made her home intermittently with her children. She passed away at the home of her daughter, Anna, at Oswego, Labette County, Kansas.

Saferite, pastor of the Edna Methodist Church. Interment was made in the family plot in Elm Grove Cemetery, in charge of the Gatewood Funeral Home of Oswego.
