Phillips, Geo. D., farmer, was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, April 1,
1820. His parents were Alexander and Elizabeth Smith-Phillips, to whom
were born twelve children, George being tenth. At the age of eleven the
subject of our sketch left the homestead, going to Banffshire, where he
resided many years. Here he was married January 1, 1839, to Helen Annand,
of Banffshire. Shortly after he leased a farm which he worked until 1868,
when he came with his family to Wabasha county. The first two years of his
residence here were spent in Mount Pleasant township, and in 1870 he
located in West Albany, where he now lives. He has a good farm of one
hundred and sixty acres acquired solely by his own economical industry.
Mrs. Phillips departed this life November, 1877. She was the mother of
eight children: James, deceased; Mrs. Mary A. Smith, of Lyon county;
George, a farmer of Mount Pleasant; William, Mrs. Helen Wilson, of this
township, Alexander, John, James E. Mr. Phillips is a member of the United
Presbyterian church, as was also his wife. He is a republican, but has
never been an office-seeker.
