The Covington Star, May 27, 1885
     Phil Brown, an old colored man, died suddenly in Oxford, one night last 
week, of heart disease, while visiting at a neighbor's house. He was about 65 
or 70 years of age. He was the janitor for the Few and Phi Gamma Societies of
Emory College, which position he had filled continuously for many years. Both 
societies took action on Saturday concerning his death, and resolved to erect a 
suitable monument to his memory in the colored cemetery. This action is highly 
commendable on the part of the young gentlemen of Emory College, and speaks 
well for their kind appreciation of his services as janitor for the two 
societies.
