MISS ADELAIDE PHILLIPS DIES IN OAKLAND, CAL



    Miss Adelaide PHILLIPS of this city died at Oakland, California, Tuesday

evening, February 3, 1920, of bronchial pneumonia according to a message

received here Wednesday.

    The news brings grief to all of the many who knew her.  Miss PHILLIPS

left Las Vegas early in January, going to Reno where she underwent an

operation for the removal of her tonsils, she having been suffering from

throat trouble for a time.  She remained in Reno with her sister until she

had practically recovered from the effects of the operation.  Something like

a week before her death she went to Oakland, where the family home was

located and contracted influenza shortly after her arrival there.  She died

before her sister, Miss Frances PHILLIPS of Reno, who had been summoned to

her bedside, arrived.  Her mother, Mrs. Katherine Grannon PHILLIPS, who has

been teaching school near Caliente, received no word of her daughter's

illness until word of her death came.  She passed through Las Vegas

Wednesday evening on her way to Oakland, and was almost prostrated by grief

over this second bereavement, her husband having passed away only about six

months ago.

    Miss PHILLIPS was a native of West Virginia and a charming and

accomplished young woman.  She has been for about three years home

demonstration agent for the counties of Clark and Lincoln and a member of

the staff of the agricultural department of the University of Nevada.

    Miss PHILLIPS has endeared hereself to the people of Clark county by her

many beautiful qualities of mind and personality and by her generous giving

of her talents for the benefit of others.  Her work has been most valuable

and helpful to the people of the county.  In the influenza epidemic of a

year ago she was tireless in caring for the sick, working far beyond her

strength without thought of reward, and undergoing hardships from which most

would shrink.

    In her work she was able and always full of cheerful energy.  She was an

accomplished musician and her beautiful voice was ever ready to add to the

pleasure of others.  As a friend she was loyal and staunch and she always

had a kindly word ad a helpful hand for those in distress.

    We are deeply grieved at her untimely death, and we can only join with

her thousands of friends in Nevada and California in expressing our deep

regret and our sympathy for the sorrowing mother and daughter.
