General Notes: Husband - Wilson Hull Phillips

---

He obtained his educa­tion in the Mercer County schools, and re­mained closely at home until he was twen­ty-one years of age. He then spent a few years in the West, during which period he lived as a cowboy and had many adven­tures, and took the hazards which pertain to that exciting occupation. In his case they were lamentable, as he lost his left hand in a fight with cattle thieves, after which he decided to return to eastern civ­ilization, and located at Wampum, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. He was possessed of considerable capital, and first opened a coal bank and later organ­ized the Wampum Run Coal Company. He sold his interest in this enterprise to A. Andrews, of Youngstown, Ohio, following which he bought a farm from the Smith heirs. It was heavily timbered and until he had it cleared, he ran a saw­mill and sold the lumber, this occupying some four years. He further invested cap­ital as a banker, being one of the organ­izers of the First National Bank at Wam­pum, and one of the first directors, and a member of that board. He also owned stock in the Crescent Portland Cement Works, at Wampum. In his political views he was a Republican.
