his home in this village Thursday
evening, after an extended illness.
Mr.. Phillips was born on farm near
Urbana. Ohio, Nov. 4th, 1643, and
thus at the time of death was in his
66th year. He married Lavenia Halter
in 1872, and they left Ohio on their
wedding day to found a home in
Wisconsin. They settled on Blakes
Prairie southwest of this village,
where theey remained ten years, re-
moving to town in 1884. The widow
and one daughter Elenor, remain. and
