PHILADELPHIA WOMAN DIES ON VISIT HERE
Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips Succumbs After Illness of Few Hours

  Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips, wife of James Phillips, of Philadelphia, 
died at 8 o'clock last evening at Altoona hospital, of eclampsia, 
following an illness of several hours.  She came here Saturday evening 
to spend Christmas with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stewart, of 
2820 Seventh avenue.
  Mrs. Phillips arose yesterday morning and was apparently in good 
health.  She later complained of being ill and suffered several 
convulsions.  She lapsed into a comatose state and was admitted to the 
hospital at 9 o'clock.  Her husband came to the city with her, but 
departed Monday for the Quaker City.  He was informed of her sudden 
death late last night and will arrive this morning.
  Born in Philadelphia, about 29 years ago, Mrs. Phillips was the 
daughter of Richard and Annie Stewart.  She was wedded to Mr. Phillips 
last June and was one of the east side's popular young women.  Her 
parents survive with three brothers, Thomas, Richard and James Stewart, 
all of this city, and two sisters, Mrs. Isabella Bloom, Altoona, and 
Mrs. Jennie Dunlap, of Akron, O.  She was a member of the Catholic 
church.  Funeral arrangements will be announced later.
