General Notes: Husband - William Prosper Phillips


The public schools of Elizabeth township furnished his education, and his entire life was spent on the family homestead. When he attained maturity he purchased all the interests of the others heirs to this property. Later he sold a portion of it for building purposes, there came to be a number of small houses located on the original homestead, but he retained about sixty acres for his own use for general farming purposes. He was a man of great business and executive ability and was prominently identified with numerous important enterprises. He was one of the original stockholders of the Thirteenth Street Bridge, a toll bridge, and was secretary of the board controlling it for many years. For many years he was an active worker in the interests of the Republican party. He was a member of the school board of Portvue borough, and secretary of that body; a member of the council of the same borough; also assessor. He owned property in Florida; in Chautauqua, New York; in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and in Portvue borough. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church, in which he was an elder and trustee for many years. For some years he was a member of the Royal Arcanum, but later no longer affiliated with that body.
