Phillip and his two brothers, Sanford and Oliver, lived in the Galveston Orphan’s Home in the 1900 Census. The 1900 Galveston Storm in September damaged the building but all residents survived.

At the time of his death, he was a private stationed at Fort Travis near San Antonio. He served in Company 35, 9th Battalion, 165th Depot Brigade. He died of influenza in the base hospital a month before WWI was over, a casualty of the deadly Flu Epidemic of 1918. He was 23 years old.
