  Died at Ninety-Seven Years -  Hosie Phillips   
                                              Dec. 30, 1906 in Justus, Pa. 
  
  Hosie Phillips, aged 97 years, died at the home of his son, Ziba Phillips, of 
  136 Edwards Court yesterday morning.  At Pittston nearly a hundred years ago he 
  was born, and for about seventy-five years he has resided in Scott Township, 
  where he became one of the pioneer settlers of that district, residing for a 
  number of years in a log cabin.  He watched very closely the development of 
  this city and the Lackawanna Valley and could relate very interesting stories.  
  He was widely and favorably known throughout Scott Township, where for many 
  years he was engaged in farming.  He was a member of the Mt. Bethel Baptist 
  Church.  About two months ago he came here to reside with his son.
  	Deceased is survived by four sons, John, Simon, Benjamin, of Scott 
  Township and Ziba Phillips, of this side and four daughters, all of Scott 
  Township; Mrs. Liddle White, Mrs. Emily White, and Mrs. Densy White, all of 
  Scott Township, and a half-brother, George Phillips, residing in the west.  
  The funeral arrangements have not been completed.
