ed by purchase; part he inherited
from half brother; a part from his
brother and part be got by will, from
his deceased sister.
His father and mother being dead
the estate will therefore go to the
lineal descendants of his father and
mother.
r. s. Fulton was appointed admin
istrator about three years ago, but
resigned a short time ago without hav-
ing settled the estate or distributed
the funds, for the reason that he had
been unable to ascertain the name
and post Office addresses of the lineal
descendants of John Phillips, father,
and Rosa Phillips, mother of
Sdlu rTeUeTlCk Hn1lDpS.
Upon the resignation of r. S. Full.
ton, Carl Norpell was appointed ad-
ministrator de bonis non of this estate
and he has spent the summer In en-.
deavoring to ascertain the names and
postoffice addresses on the lineal de-
scendants of John and Rosa Fresh
Phillips.
ALI of the brothers and sisters of
John Phillips and Rosa F"esh-Phil,
lips, his wife, are dead, all of the chill
dren of the brothers and sisters are
dead; their descendants are legion
and scattered all over the United
States, and both the former and pres
ent administrator have been unable
up to the present time to locate all of
them.
For instance-Lydia Phillips, sister
of John Phillips, married man by
the name of Peters; she had ten chill
dren, all of whom are dead; and each
one left large number of children,
some of whom are dead. leaving chill
dren.
The children of Lydia Phillips went
West 80, 40 or so years ago, some of
them to Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois and many other states.
Th> money cannot be distributed
until heaAdministrator has the names
and post office addresses of all the
heirs.
AS far as ascertained up to the pres
