Died

At the home of Mr. D.A. Jones one mile south of town at 6 o’clock on Thursday 
evening last occurred the death of Dr. J.H. Phillips, the intelligence of which 
cast a gloom over our entire community, as he was loved and honored by all who 
knew him.  For several months he has been a constant sufferer, but despite the 
earnest efforts of the best medical skill that could be devised and careful 
attention, he rapidly grew worse until his physical manhood could no longer 
bear the sufferings which he endured, and like grain fully ripened for the 
harvest he has been garnered unto God.  Dr. Phillips was born in Monroe County, 
Ga., May 25th, 1818, and consequently was in the 75th year of his age.  He and 
his family moved from Meriwether to Taylor County about 12 years ago, and 
located on a farm a few miles south of town where they lived comfortably until 
the cruel hand of misfortune swept away their home and all it contained, but he 
did not yield to this.  He enjoyed an extensive practice, was kind and 
attentive to his patients and was one of the bestread physicians in Georgia.  
But few men could be more sadly missed in our community than Dr. Phillips, but 
He who gaveth hath taken away.  The funeral services were conducted by Elder 
J.R. Respess from the Primitive Baptist Church on Friday afternoon, of which he 
was an honored member and his remains interred in the cemetery in Butler.  He 
left a devoted wife, one daughter – Mrs. D.A. Jones, besides many friends and 
relatives to mourn their loss.
