General Notes: Husband - Dr. Ellis Phillips
New Haven, Fayette Co, PA
He was the youngest son of his parents.
He remained on the farm, occasionally attending the public schools, till about sixteen years of age, when he commenced a course of preparatory studies at the academy at Uniontown, Pennsylvania, where he continued for two years, and then entered Washington (later Washington and Jefferson) College, Pennsylvania, from which institution he graduated in 1865. He then entered the office of Dr. Smith Fuller, of Uniontown, as a student of medicine. Having attended the regular courses of lectures at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, he received his degree in 1867. The same year he located in New Haven in partnership with Dr. James K. Rogers, a surgeon of more than ordinary ability. They remained partners for about three years until Dr. Rogers' death. Prior to the death of Dr. Rogers, Dr. Phillips returned to Philadelphia, where he remained several months, taking special private courses of study in his profession. He then returned to his old location and to the firm's business, where he then enjoyed an extensive and lucrative practice.
He married and they immediately sailed for Europe, visiting England, Ireland, Scotland, and parts of the continent. While abroad he took advantage of his opportunity to improve himself professionally by visiting the hospitals of London and Dublin, taking a special course in several of them as a student.
