General Notes: Husband - John Phillips

---

He grew to manhood on the old homestead and entered the employ of General Pierce, with whom he remained three years, prin­cipally engaged in attending to the coal-shipping interests of that gen­tleman. He then spent a couple of years in farming, and in 1854 formed a partnership with General Pierce, under the firm style of J. Phillips & Company, for the purpose of mining and shipping coal. In 1855 he opened the coal beds on his father's farm and managed the mining and shipping interests of the firm until 1861-2, when he sold out to his partner, and in 1863 he leased coal lands on the farms of the late John Eberhart and Samuel Fry and developed the same. The firm of Phillips, McMaster & Company, later J. Phillips & Company, mined coal on these farms and vicinity until 1887, when they retired from the business. From 1864 to 1883 Mr. Phillips was interested in the Sharpsville Railroad, and was one of the organizers of the Spearman Iron Company, at Sharpsville, and was thereafter connected with that insti­tution. Mr. Phillips was a stockholder, vice president and director in the Sharon National Bank from its organization in 1875 until 1902, when it was sold to the newly organized Sharon Savings & Trust Com­pany, of which institution Mr. Phillips was a large stockholder, one of its vice presidents and a director, as well as being one of the promoters and directors of the hospital, and president of Oakwood Ceme­tery Association.
