Tribute.

worthy tribute is paid to Mrs. !
]. H. Phillips, who died Thursday, |
Nov. End, at her home at Kaufman.
Mrs. Phillips was a daughter-in-laW
of Aunt Lou Phillips Of our city |
Her young ladyhood was spent here
as Miss Katie Hunter. This tribute
comes from the women with whom
she was associated in her church re-
lations and is a recognition Of well
spent life During her three months
of suffering she seemed infused |
with a fortitude from heaven" and
her last hours hallowed by her
christian faith and love. A touching
incident of her last days was the
tender devotion of her two sisters,
Misses Eliza and Fannie Hunter, of
our city, who we're her yigilant min
listers during the days of affliction.
The following is taken from the
Kaufman Daily Post:
