C. D. Phillips

C. D. Phillips is a prominent farmer of Meriwether county, in which he was 
born in 1849.  He is of Virginia stock, his grandfather, William D. Phillips, 
having come from that state to Georgia at an early date.  His father, William 
A.J. Phillips, was born in Morgan county in 1828, and served through the late 
war with the state militia.  His wife, Miss Mary M. Smith, was a daughter of 
Thomas Smith, also a Virginian, who was among Georgia’s first settlers.  C.D. 
Phillips spent his early years upon the farm in Meriwether county and obtained 
such schooling as the country schools afforded.  He has devoted himself to the 
science of agriculture and his fine farm, in all its parts brought to the 
highest state of perfection, bears witness to his aptness in his business.   
His wife, whom he married in 1867, was Miss Emma Sewell, a native of 
Meriwether county, born June 10, 1847, the daughter of John P. and Elizabeth 
(Wideman) Sewell, who were old settlers of the county, to which they came from 
Morgan county.  Mr. and Mrs. Phillips are the parents of ten children: William 
A., Estella, Mary, Thomas H., John H., Albert P., Calvin A., Cleopatra, Edna 
E. and Iverson B.  Mrs. Phillips is a member of the Methodist Episcopal 
church; her husband is a member of the Alliance and is the president of the 
county organization in Meriwether county.  The family is well esteemed by all 
who know them.
