IN MEMoRIAM
WInhTd Scott Phillips, NJ. D., Enter
ed into Rest May 18th, 1908.

GU into nest way iftn, i5Oo.
The story of the life of this Chris
tian physician is full of inspiration.
He was born In Chatauqua county,
New York on December 0. 1871. A
few years later his father moved TO
Pawlet. VT, and there young Phillips
spent his boyhood and young man
hood working on the farm, studying
and teaching until he entered the
University OF Vermont. From the
university he went to the Albany
Medical college, and after graduation
in 1867, settled In Arlington, w.,
where, for forty years and more, he
has carried on his ministry OF heal
ing.
Time and again he had opportuni-
ties to go to cities where HIS skill,
wisdom and experience would have
won for him recognition and SUBJ
stantial reward; but he chose to re-
main In the little hill town, content
to labor on as country doctor.
Only at long intervals and then but
for few days, did he allow himself
a respite from his work At all hours
of day and night and In all kinds of
weather, without thought of self or
selfish gain, he has driven through
the valleys and over the hills Of
Southern Vermont and neighboring
towns Of New York, going to the
homes Of the sick and suffering. Gen
tie as woman, sympathetic and
thoughtful, he was a friend as well
las a physician, bringing cheer and
comfort to mind and heart with relief
for bodily ills.
DR.. Phillips has been health officer
|of Arlington since the office was Gre
ated, U. s. pension examiner for ten
years, and president of the board
since 1900. In 1890 he represented
the town In the general assembly of
the state. For forty years he has
been Mason and eight times the
master Of his lodge.
His wife and two children, Mrs.
Clarence Dyer Gilchrist, and DIR. c.
w. Phillips of Arlington survive him
The burial took place on the after,
noon OF Sunday. May 18th, the Rev
IS. Halsted Watkins of st. Adams and
the Rev. Alfred Taylor rector OF the
parish officiating.
For the funeral service old st
James church (Which the doctor Low
ed and had served for many years as
vestryman and junior warden) was
crowded with great congregation Of
men. women and children, who came
from all the country side, far and
near to testify to their true affection
and genuine sorrow.
AS the body was laid to rest on the
hillside facing the setting sun, there
lcame to the minds of some of those
who stood by the open grave the
words OF the Great Physician:
Greater love hath no man thar
this. that a man lay down his life fol
his friends"
