Charles Mix County News, March 15, 1923
James A. Phillips passed away at his home in Moore township, Charles Mix county at 7:20 p.m. on March 6, 1923, aged 53 years, 10 months and 10 days. Deceased was born in Olathe, Kansas, on the 25th of April 1869, and came to Charles Mix county in March 1883, 40 years ago. He moved onto his homestead in 1897 where he has since resided. He was united in marriage to Miss Emma Hintz, on February 27, 1907 and to this union five children were born, two having passed away in early childhood, the living are, Henry, George, and William.
Besides his aged father, wife, and three children he leaves to mourn his loss three sisters and four brothers. Mrs. Ida Huggins of Kansas, and Mrs. Julia Campbell of Canada, Mrs. J. L. Wood, of Geddes, South Dakota, the brothers being Charley, Edwin, William, and Frank of Geddes, S.D.
The funeral service was held at the Community church at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Rev. Deller officiating and he preached a very consoling sermon, the remains being laid at rest in Pleasant Lawn cemetery. There was a large attendance at the service and beautiful flowers were on and about the casket. The singing was especially fine.
Jake Phillips, as he liked to be call him best, was a good citizen which made him a good neighbor and a kind husband and father. Forty years a resident in Charles Mix county is a splendid record for any citizen and which so well demonstrates an abiding faith in his chosen county. Some of the forty years of farming were rather lean ones while other were more than bounteous but good or poor Mr. Phillips was the same steadfast worker and his quiet way a builder because he had faith in the soil he tilled and the county he loved and state he admired. One by one these pioneers are being called home to their reward, faithful and hopeful here, now happy and joyful on the other shore. Sympathy for those nearest and dearest is the mode our people kindly extend to those across whose pathway the shadow of sorrow has so heavily fallen, and to his pioneer sisters and brothers, here yet a little while longer, we can tenderly say, not dead but translated into that brighter and better world just over the hill beyond our earthly vision.
Card of Thanks
We wish to take this opportunity to thank our neighbors and friends for their kindness and helpfulness during the illness and last, and rites of our husband, son, father and brother.
Mrs. James A. Phillips and Relatives.
