  T. M. (Pappy) Phillips, an outstanding citizen of Sabine Parish,
and probably one of the most religious and genuinely loved
members of the community, died at Fraser Hospital on Sunday
night, Sept. 4, at 11:30 p.m. He was 77.

  Phillips, who served as Sheriff of Sabine Parish for 24 years,
had gathered the respect of citizens in the area during his terms
in office. A politically active man, Phillips was always willing
to help people, and to be of service when he was in office, and
following his retirement in 1968.

  Phillips, who was a member of the Many First Baptist Church,
served as church treasurer for 38 years, and was a member of the
Board of Deacons. He was civically active in all phases of
development and growth in the parish.

  Funeral services were held at the Many First Baptist Church on
Tuesday, Sept. 6, at 11 a.m. Dr. Rod Smith, church pastor, and
Dr. Kelly Fitzgerald of Baton Rouge, officiated at the services.
Burial was in the Many Cemetery, under the direction of the
Warren Meadows Funeral Home.
