The Marietta Journal & Courier  August 30, 1918
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL SERVICE TO LT M M PHILLIPS

On last Sunday the service at the Methodist Church in Acworth was a memorial
service to the honor of Lt Mercer M PHILLIPS, who fell on the field of battle in
France last month.

Many people from Marietta were present, and the Church was filled with loving
friends who came together there to express their love and esteem for the heroic
christian soldier.

Rev S H DIMON was master of ceremonies and among those who made speeches of
tribute and regard were J R HUMPHRIES, L M AWTREY, George L LEMON, and W M WEBB.

E W RAY read the resolutions of the meeting in memory of Lt PHILLIPS, and Joe
ABBOTT presented the beautiful service flags, one to the mother, and one to the
wife, of Lt PHILLIPS, with words of sympathy and love.

The service was a most impressive one and the noble spirit of Mercer PHILLIPS
touched the hearts of all present so that the tears of friends mingled to do him
honor.
