Keowee Courier ( Pickens Court House, S.C.), April 21, 1909

Clayton J. Phillips. Departed this life April 8, 1909. Mr. Phillips died after 
an illness of about nine days from pneumonia. He died peacefully at his home in 
Anderson. Mr. Phillips was a son of the late Capt. Nathaniel and Mahala 
Phillips. He was born in Rabun county, Georgia, February 10, 1861. He was 48 
years of age. He leaves a wife and one little girl and one brother, P.K. 
Phillips, of Westminister, and three sisters, Misses Mary and Minerva 
Phillips and Mrs. G.C. Arve, of Long Creek, to mourn the loss of a devoted 
husband, kind father and loving brother. He was a favorite with all who knew 
him. It is hard to give him up, but it is God's will, and we have the sweet 
consolation that we shall meet him again.
Mr. Phillips had been a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church for 
24 years. It was a matter of pride with him that he had never sworn an oath nor 
been intoxicated in his life. He lived a Christian life. On November 1st, 1896, 
he was happily married to Miss Jennie Sanders, of Franklin, N.C., who survives 
him. The funeral services were conducted at his home by his pastor, Rev. 
Snider, and his body was gently laid to rest in the cemetery in the presence 
of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.
A true Christian, a devoted and loving husband, a kind and affectionate father, 
a good man has gone to his reward.  A Friend
