Randolph Phillips never united with any church, but it was the writer's privilege to talk with him on the subject of religion many times during the last year of his life. During this time he read much in the Bible and other religious works. His conversation showed that he was seeking eternal life in the Saviour.
Randolph Phillips was a kind husband, a good father, quiet and unassuming in his manners, and a well respected citizen. The community shares in the loss of Randolph Phillips, but bows in humble submission to the will of the Supreme being.
Beside his wife, he leaves one brother, Benjamin, 19 grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and a host of relatives and friends.
The funeral service was held at Linebarger chapel, conducted by Rev. Airhart of Greencastle, assisted by G.H. Linebarger of Rockville. The burial was made in Linebarger cemetery.
