The Weekly Perrysburg Journal.  Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio. Oct 14, 1863, p. 3.
	On Tuesday morning, September 22, 1863, William Philo was instantly 
killed by a collision of trains on the Dayton and Michigan Railroad.  His age 
was 28 years.

	This is indeed, a heavy affliction upon his little family - a wife and 
child.  Mr. Philo was a consistent and active member of the United Presbyterian 
Church, at Scotch Ridge, Wood county, Ohio. As a Christian, he was devoted to 
his Master's work, ready to participate in the Sabbath School instruction, and 
in the exercises of the social prayer meeting.  He gave promise of much 
usefulness in the Lord's vineyard.  As a husband and father, he was 
affectionate, and commenced the world with energy to make an Honest living.  As 
a neighbor, he was kind, obliging, and peaceful.  His career, which promised so 
well, in the mysterious providence of God, was suddenly terminated; but his 
manner of life gave evidence that he was not unprepared for the death through 
faith in the atoning blood of Jesus, and the sanctification of the Spirit.

	May his widow trust in God, who has promised to be a husband to the 
widow and a father to the fatherless, and who hath said, "I never will leave 
thee nor forsake thee."
