WILLIAM JASPER PHILLIPS 

BODY BROUGHT HOME ON SPECIAL TRAIN 

  Suffolk, Va., Dec. 22 - The remains of William Jasper Phillips, who died 
Thursday at his home in New York city, arrived here today at 1:30 o’clock, 
on a special train via the Norfolk and Western railway.

  The deceased was manager and part owner in the firm of Phillips and Sons, 
commission merchants.

  He was a son of Col. J.J. Phillips, and a cousin to Dr. John F. Phillips, 
of this place.  His body was due to arrive on the "cannon ball" at 10:39, 
but on account of the train from New York being late and missing connection 
with the "cannon ball" at Richmond, a special train had to be chartered.

  Immediately upon the arrival at Suffolk the body was carried to Cedar Hill 
cemetery, where the burial service was read by the Rev. Joseph R. Dunn, Rector 
of St. Paul’s P.E. church.

  The pallbearers were: Dr. J.E. Phillips, Jackson Phillips, Dr. E.B. Corbell, 
W. Walter Eley, Corbell Cotton, J.P. Jordan, T.B. Wright and William F. Cotton.
