                   OBITUARY- LOUISE (CARTER) PHILLIPS                                                           
  
  	Louise Phillips, the wife of Hosea Phillips, died at her residence on 
  March 29, 1892, after an illness of about two months.  She was born in Great 
  Barington, Connecticut, in 1812.  While she was yet very young her father, 
  Nathaniel Carter, moved to Pennsylvania and settled at Capouse, in the limits 
  of Scranton, and at is now, where he built a log house and struggled with wild 
  beasts and primitive forests for his daily bread.  A few years after this he 
  moved to Abington, on the place his wife died leaving the subject of this 
  sketch without a motherís care in a wilderness.  He found a home for his little 
  girl at Esquire Drinkerís at a place then called Drinkerís Beech.  Here at the 
  age of about fifteen years, she taught a district school in a little cabin.  
  Shortly after this she came to Abington with her Uncle and hired out to 
  Jeremiah Clark and stayed there until married to Hosea Phillips, which took 
  place in 1830.  She was the mother of fourteen children, thirty-eight 
  grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren.
  	She joined the Baptist Church about 1843, and was baptized by Elder 
  John Miller, and has lived a consistent Christian life up to the day of her 
  death.  She has been a mother to the fatherless and motherless and helped in 
  every time of need.  She leaves a large number of relatives and friends that 
  mourn on account of their loss, but their loss, we trust, will be her gain.  
  But her aged husband, now 82 years old, although surrounded by many 
  sympathizing friends, his bereavement is almost unbearable.
