They served eight charges over the years in the German Evangelical Association, one forerunner of the United Methodist church.
After retiring, the couple bought a house on Best Street (now 2645 N. Dayton) with a village of Native Americans in teepees all around them. Phillip had intended to work with two other Evangelical ministers to establish a new congregation.
Shortly after arriving in Chicago, Phillip began displaying symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, according to his granddaughter, Bonnie Yunker. He also suffered with residual problems from an auto accident about 12 years before he died. With the help of her family, Mary cared for him as an invalid the last 14 years of his life.
