General Notes: Husband - Samuel Phillips

Lawrence Co, PA

He lived a quiet and useful life, honoring God in his daily walk and conversation, and was loved most by those who knew him best. Over thirty years' membership in the Presbyterian Church of Neshannock, twenty of them as an office holder, witnessed his belief in the truths of the Christian religion, and attested the confidence reposed in him by his fellow members. Quiet and unobtrusive in his life, he was, nevertheless, greatly missed in his death. His illness was so short and severe, and the distance that some of his children lived so great, that he died before all of them could reach his bedside. As the closing scene drew nigh, and his voice was husky in death, he quoted, with much effort, the triumphant declaration of the Apostle: "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand; I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." The "for me," was repeated with great emphasis, and at the close of the quotation, another was added to the great cloud of witnesses gone before. [HLC 1877, 179]
