General Notes: Husband - Joseph Phillis

---

His early life was spent in the place of his birth, his education being obtained in the local schools, and after his marriage he moved to West Bridgewater, Pennsylvania, where he became a builder of canal boats, many of his bulky craft finding service on the waters of the region, others traveling far from the place of their manufacture. Retiring from this business he purchased a farm in Franklin township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, cultivating that land until his subsequent acquisition of the Fombelle estate, which he owned at the time of his death. Farming was but one branch of his activities, for over his broad acres hundreds of sheep grazed, bringing him substantial gain while their wool was marketable and greater increase when led to the slaughter house. The United Presbyterian Church was that of Mr. Phillis and his wife, while he was a staunch champion of Republicanism throughout his entire life.
