General Notes: Husband - William M. Philips

---

He was born on the home­stead in Peters township, Washington County, PA. He remained on the farm during boyhood, and in early life learned the cabinetmaker's trade, follow­ing that business for the five years following 1853. The farm, which he occupied after 1858, contained sixty-five well-cultivated acres, all improvements having been made by him. He always voted with the Republican or Prohibition party, and in religious faith was a member (with all his family) of and deacon in the Christian Church.
