PIONEER RESIDENT DIED IN HOSPITAL

Edmond W. Phillips, sixty-one and a lifelong resident in this vicinity died at 
Dr. E.W. Litle’s private hospital last Thursday after years of suffering from 
locomotor ataxin.

Mr. Phillips was born three miles west of Belding near the present home of 
Stillman Luscombe. On January 1, 1878 he was married to Jennie Foreman of Ionia 
Township. Five children, three of whom are now living were born to the union. 
Those living are Eli of this city, Willard of Ionia and Leona of Detroit. One 
brother, Wilson Phillips of Otisco Township also survives him. Mr. Phillips 
became so feeble and helpless that he was taken to Dr. Little’s hospital about 
eleven weeks ago for care and treatment. His daughter, Leona was his constant 
nurse, during the confinement there, except when she made a short visit to 
Detroit.

Mr. Phillips was a member of the Court of Honor, in which he carried a $1000 
policy.

Funeral services were held at the home of Eli Phillips Friday afternoon. 
Interment was made in the Otisco cemetery.
