in Texas.
She reached her home apparent
ly in the best of health. Friday
night she was stiickeu with men
ingetis, and after suffering in
tensely for four days she passed
away. .
To know Mrs. Phillips was to
love and admire her beautiful
traits o' character.
She joined the Baptist church
when she was twelve years of age;
and during the remainder of her
life, fifteen years, she led the life
of an exe nplary Christian.
At an early age death robbed
her of her mother, but she found
in her aunt, Mrs. Ka e Boddiford
who reared h»r, one whom she
loved and trusted like a mother.
Mrs. Phillips was a devoted:
wife and mother. The faithful
husband and hia four motherless
little one, two boys and two girls.
: who survive her and her aged
I aunt, Mrs. Beddifordof this place,
'have tho sympathy of all who
know them in their great bereave
ment.
Her body was interred Wednes
day in the cemetery near her
home in the presence of many
sympathizing friends.
May the God she trusted pro
tect and guide tier loved ones into
ihe port of everlasting peace
where she will again be with those
so dear ta her.
