J. E. PHILLIPS DEAD.

Passes Away at His Home in West Clarinda—A Sufferer for Over Two Years.
A thrill of genuine sympathy and a feeling of profound sorrow swept over the city last evening when it was announced that J. E. Phillips, familiarly known as "Ed" was dead.  As is well known to our people, he has been a very great sufferer from an incurable disease for over two years, and while his death has been to a certain extent anticipated, yet as is always the case, it came with a suddenness that created a profound feeling of sorrow. Two years ago last spring, Mr. Phillips was suffering severely from what was supposed to be a chronic attack of piles, but upon examination it was discovered that it was of a more serious character than piles and was really a cancerous growth in the rectum.   The following June he went to Chicago and underwent an operation which, in a great measure, relieved him and he seemed to be greatly improved.  In fact, he resumed his work in the lumber office and seemed to be getting along quite well.   However, the certainty of the end was never doubted. The first day of last January, as the bells were tolling the death of the old year and welcoming the new, he waked suddenly with a realization that his disease had taken a new turn and from that day on he was a constant sufferer until relieved last evening.   He kept up his work until  about the first of June. Since then, he has been gradually going down and the end was only a question of a short time. Yesterday morning about three  o'clock, he awakened in severe pain.  When Dr. Powers arrived, he was still suffering terribly, but the doctor succeeded in relieving the pain. However, he knew that the end was very near and all day yesterday he was gradually failing.  A little after four o'clock, he lost consciousness but still struggled on in the unequal and hopeless contest with death, until about eight o'clock last night, at which time he was relieved from his long and terrible suffering.
James Edwin Phillips was born May 13, 1851 at Ballston, N. Y. His parents came west with him when he was but three years old and settled near Chicago. His mother died when he was but a child. His father lived until just a few years ago. His three brothers and two sisters are still living. Mr. Phillips was married in 1876 at Bartlett, Ill., to Miss Emily Sayre. They moved to Wheaton to make their home, where they remained until coming west. Four children two girls and two boys, and a devoted wife, are left to mourn the loss of a loving and indulgent father and husband.
In his early childhood he became a member of the Congregational church, but when coming to Clarinda, as there was no organization of the church of his choice, he joined the Presbyterian church and has been a faithful and efficient worker in all departments of the church. He was an enthusiastic in Sunday school work and served as superintendent and teacher. The funeral will be in the family home in west Clarinda at 5 o'clock this afternoon, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Macclean. The bereaved family have the profound sympathy of the entire community in their great loss and his death is a loss to the town and to the community because of the fact that he was one of the men who could always be depended upon to do his share in all the good works.

For a number of years he lived in Noble County, Oh., removing to Page county, la., in August, 1874, and came to Clarinda in 1882. He was a son of Jeremiah Phillips, who was a Methodist circuit rider, in Pennsylvania and Mo. He had a circuit of thirty-three appointments which required 280 miles to be done in four weeks on horseback; coming of Quaker parents, he was of course opposed to slavery, and his association with John Brown, of Osawatomie confirmed him in his opinion. He early earned the title of Abolitionist preacher, and was proud of it.
Rosiel Finch Phillips joined the Methodist church in 1867 and thereafter was a constant member of it. He was well versed in Scripture, and could quote suitably on any occasion. To his marriage to Sarah Ann Ellsworth, seven children were born: Edith L., Mattie O., Isaac E., William C., Eugene H., Orville B., (who died July 21, 1896), and Adah Faye—all of whom, except Orville B., survive him.

On account of the enforced absence of his daughter, Edith L. Phillips, by reason of the beginning of school at Colorado Springs, Colo., on Sept. 4, the funeral service was held on Sept. 3, at. 4 o'clock p.m. The funeral service was very simple and impressive, conducted by his pastor, the Rev. A. S. Woodard, at the family residence on North Nineteenth street, after which interment was made in the family lot in the Clarinda cemetery.

Westcott, J. T. Harrell, A. J. Hawley and A. M. Abbott.
Mr. Phillips was in failing health for more than a year, and bore his affliction with great fortitude and patience.

A carpenter by occupation he did much, work in that important industry in this locality. Building reminders of his efficiency in his trade will long endure. He was a man of superior intelligence, sought to know the right on matters of public import, and then was ever ready courageously to defend his principles. Able, honest and companionable, he leaves many friends who will miss him. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 6, 1917

Was 104 Years Old, Probably Oldest Man In State.

Shenandoah, Dec. 12—Our oldest citizen, Uncle John Phipps, died Sunday at 10 o'clock at the home of his son near Farragut. He would have been 105 years old next St. Valentines Day. He was not sick, but just worn out. On the afternoon of Saturday he got up and dressed and walked out in the yard, grew worse in the night, but retained his faculties till the last. He was fond of outdoor life, and worked as a farmer all his life. He lived temporately on plain food. Only last week he admitted he could not shuck corn any longer. He has been remarkably active, going alone the last summer on railroad trips to Leon and Nebraska. When he was 100 years old he joined the order of Elks, the members of the lodge here taking him in free, glad to have the oldest Elk in the U. S. He was an uneducated man as far as schools are concerned, learned to read after he was married and was an intelligent, genial friendly man. He was born in Virginia before the battle of Waterloo, before Fulton built his steamboat, before the war of 1812 with England. He came to Iowa in 1836. What a life that is— 100 years of conscious, active, restless thinking and doing. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 14, 1916
