Phillips - Arthur Leighton Phillips, 70, died early this morning in Rideout 
Hospital following a two months illness. Phillips was a native of Meshoppen, 
Penn, and had been a resident of Wheatland for the past 45 years. He lived at 
111 Fourth Street. He had been a land leveling contractor in the 1940's and 
early 1950's until he had to give up the contracting business because of 
failing health. He continued to operate heavy equipment until January. From 
1916 to 1925, Phillips had operated a garage in Wheatland and later had owned a 
peach orchard which is now the Whitney Warren ranch. He had retained other 
farming interests along with his contracting business. Phillips had operated 
one of the first tractors in the Wheatland area. He had been a member of the 
operating engineer's local No. 3 in Marysville for 32 years and was a member of 
the Wheatland Lions Club. Survivors include his wife, Mildred Dam Phillips: 
three sons, Arthur of Los Angeles, Stewart of Sacramento and Eugene of Chico; 
two daughters, Mrs Elaine Tarke of Meridian and Elizabeth Phillips of 
Wheatland; one brother, Stewart Phillips, Pennsylvania; and two sisters, Mrs 
Evangeline Farr and Mrs Harriet Cole, Pennsylvania and four grandsons. Funeral 
services will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. in Hutchison's Colonial Chapel with 
Rev. Victor Hatfield, rector of St. John's Episcopal Church officiating. 
Interment will follow in the Wheatland cemetery.
