Desire B. Phillips
Another task is finished, and the kind Master has called the trusted servant home, to receive the reward for faithful service, for near nine o'clock, July 19, 1911, Grandma Phillips passed from our midst to take up her abode in that fairer land beyond the skies.
Desire B. Phillips, daughter of John and Desire Grenard, was born near Waynetown, Ind., Dec. 1, 1843, and attained the age of 67 years, 6 months, and 18 days.
Of the family of whom she was a member, only one sister, Mrs. Catherine Sayers, of Waynetown, is yet living.
On October 20, 1861, she was united in marriage to George T. Phillips and to this union were born four children, Delia, John, Stowe and Elston, three of whom are still living, Delia having preceded her mother to the grave about two years ago. Two sons, Stowe, living in Rocky Ford, Colo., and Elston, residing in Waverly, Wash., were not permitted to be present at the funeral because of the intervening distance.
Early in life she moved near New Richmond, living there until two years ago, when she came to make her home with her son John, near Ladoga.
While an invalid during the time she lived with her son, the neighbors who were so kind to her and visited her constantly, all learned to love her, and she was known among them as "Grandma Phillips."
At an early age she became a member of the Church of Christ through obedience to her Master, and has always been a faithful Christian worker, taking special delight in reading her Bible and talking with others about His precious promise. Her abiding faith in Christ was manifested by the manner in which she bore the last few months of her suffering, to which she was subjected; during her severest pain she was never heard to complain and always expressed her appreciation of the sympathy extended to her at this time.
"Grandma Phillips" had a sunny disposition that made her life pleasant for all of those who came under her influence. While we cannot prevent an expression of our sorrow and regret at her departure, we look on the brighter side and feel even in the midst of our grief a note of rejoicing for she has taught us to trust everything into His care who doeth all things well, and we can say with her to-day, "It is well with my soul." The remains were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. John Phillips and daughter Helen, Morgan Foster and Rev. Berry, the pastor of Parkersburg Christian church, were taken to New Richmond Thursday morning where the funeral was held at 11 o'clock at the Christian church, conducted by Rev. Berry. Interment was made in the New Richmond cemetery.
The family wish to express their thanks and appreciation for their sympathy and help extended them during the sickness and death of their mother.
