Mr.. JONAS PHILLIPS. Mr.. Phillips
was also one of the early settlers of
Glover he came from Athol, Mass.
His wife, Dorothy Bean, was from
Sutton, n. H.. He started from Athol
with all his goods on his back on foot,
and came to Glover and settled on lot
No. 127, where he spent his days. They
raised a family of twelve children,
seven sons and five daughters, who
all lived to manhood or womanhood.
He built bark shanty and lived there
alone long while, having to go TO
Barton, q distance of five miles, to
have his provisions prepared for him,
until he found home in the family
of Mr.. James Vance. He was of a
cheerful turn of mind, and by untir
ing industry and economy acquired a
competency, and at one time was
called the most Independent man in
town. His children nearly all settled
in town, many of his descendants are
now residents of this community. Mr..
Phillips and wife belonged to the
Methodist church and meetings were
held in their barn for long time, as
affording more ample room for the
large congregation which gathered
together stately to wors hip the true
and living God. The service OF song
on these occasions was led by Mr..
Phillips. He always raised surplus
of grain and other provisions to spare
and those who were poor and needy
were never turned empty away. He
died July II, 1S49. His wife lived to
the advanced age of 81 years. Such
is the brief history of family whom
the young and rising generation would
do well to emulate in point of indus
try, frugality and in doing good to
all around them as they have oppor-
tunity.
