PHILIP DALLAM, editor and publisher of the 
Bulletin, of Warsaw, was born in St. Louis, 
Mo., May 22, 1853, and is a son of Frank A. 
and Anna M. (McKee) Dallam, who were na- 
tives of Kentucky and New York respectively. 
The father was a newspaperman, and it was thus 
very natural that his son should take up the line 
of work in which he is now engaged. During 
the War of the Rebellion, Frank Dallam wore 
the blue, enlisting as Captain of Company E, 
Tenth Illinois Infantry. He afterwards served 
on the staff of Gen. Ross, and continued in the 
army for about two years, when on account of ill 
health he was forced to resign. After being mus- 
tered out, he located in California, and thence re- 
moved to Nevada. He served as a member of 
the Constitutional Convention when the State 
was admitted to the Union, and in his business 
relations was connected with the Virginia City 
Enterprise, doing editorial work. His next 
place of residence was in Quincy, where he served 
on the staff of the Whig until 1867. In that year 
he came to Warsaw, where his death occurred on 
the 17th of March, 1868. After coming to this 
city, he purchased the Bulletin, which is now 
managed by his son. 

Philip Dallam was the third child in his fa- 
ther's family. His elder brother, Frank, is now 
Receiver of Public Moneys at Waterville, Wash., 
to which position he was appointed by President 
Harrison. Philip spent his boyhood days in 
Quincy and Oquawka, and acquired a fair educa- 
tion in the public schools. He was practically 
brought up in the newspaper office, and to the 
work connected therewith has devoted his entire 
attention throughout his business career. He 
became the publisher of the Bulletin in 1875, and 
has one of the neatest offices in the State, the work 
which he turns out possessing the same charac- 
teristic. 

On the 17th of March, 1880, Mr. Dallam led 
to the marriage altar Miss Eugenie A. Hunt, 
daughter of Milton T. Hunt, one of the pioneer 
settlers of Hancock County. They now have a fam- 
ily of four children and have lost one child. The 
parents are widely and favorably known in this 
community, where they have many warm friends 
and pleasant acquaintances. 

Socially, Mr. Dallam is connected with the 
Masonic fraternity and the Ancient Order of 
Modern Woodmen. He is a member of the 
Library Board of Warsaw, and gives his support 
and co-operation to all enterprises which are cal- 
culated to elevate the community and promote 
the general welfare. In politics, he is a stanch 
supporter of the Republican party, and his pa- 
per advocates its principles.
