Phillip Haddix is the son of Samuel Haddix, the father of James Phillip Haddix, grandfather of James McKinley Haddix (WWI US Army), and great-grandfather of James R. Haddix (WWII, Purple Heart and Silver Star recipient, USMC).
Although the marker at the cemetery spells his surname as Hadix, it is actually Haddix. His great-grandfather William Haddix served in the Revolutionary War.
His family lived near Phillipi, in the Moatsville area, in West Virginia near the Tygart Valley River.
Phillip Haddix was the first Haddix to enter into and homestead in Nebraska after the Civil War probably in 1876. He was Corporal in the 1st West Virginia Calvary and he received a pension for his service. He lived the last few years at what was called the Soldiers and Sailors Home in Grand Island (Burkett) where he passed in 1928.
The 1st West Virginia Calvary had distinguished service during the Civil War and also embedded under the command of George Armstrong Custer at Sailor's Creek (AKA Saylor's Creek) as mentioned in Wikipedia "By the end of 1864, the regiment was part of General George Armstrong Custer's 3rd Division, Cavalry Corps—which, along with another division, remained under the command of General Philip Sheridan. Sheridan's two cavalry divisions continued to fight in the Shenandoah Valley, and were responsible for eliminating Confederate General Jubal Early's Army of the Valley from the war. During March 1865, Sheridan moved his two divisions eastward toward Petersburg, Virginia. The regiment, as part of Capehart's Fighting Brigade in Custer's division, was part of a crucial cavalry charge in the Union victory at the Battle of Sailor's Creek. The regiment was also present during the Appomattox Campaign and the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. After the war, the 1st West Virginia Cavalry participated in the Grand Review of the Armies, and was mustered out on July 8, 1865." What was also notable is that the 1st West Virginia Calvary also served near Phillipi where Phillip was born in Barbour County.
Retired with his then wife, Kate Duncanson, formerly Kate Gilbert (widowed), to the Old Soldiers and Sailors Home, Burkett (Grand Island), Nebraska where he perished.
