Few men in our city were better known than i he; scarcely any were as well liked. In all things he was faithful. To his ci commonwealth and the laws thereof; C to his lodge; to his fellow-man; to hisa church; to his God he was unswerv Sing in discharging every duty, loyal Sto every trust. SFor about twenty-nine years he had resided among us, and during it all he gained and held the high esteem of all men with whom he became as- 1 sociated in either social or business relatioc. He was the oldest Odd Fellow in the world, having for sixty years worshipped at the sacred shrine of the Tripple Links whose ordinances were Friendship, Love and Truth. So earnest has he ev^ been in his de votion to this Order. being in attend ance on all meetings whether WVinter or Summer, whether it be hot or cold, dry or rainy weather, that he was in deed the model, preceptor and guide I for the other members to enln late; and his loyalty did, on umaniy an occasionl, inspire them to re inewed vigor and adherence to their duty. The G(frand Lodge of the State will meet in annual session next Tuesday and as part of the exercises it was de termined to present him with a 50 year membership jewel, but his seri ous illness, which Nearly all were ap prehensive would terminate as it did, interrupted the proceedings on this line. At his death iMr. Phillips was rap idly approaching his 86th birthday anniversary and yet till within a short while before his last illness he maintained that sprightly, vigorous activity for which he was su noted, and which has been the subject of comment for years. The last time the writer saw him sign his name, which was but a short while ago, he did so without the use of glasses and was as clear and distinct and firm as it was twenty years ago. His health, strength of mind and general elasticity was due to a loyal devotion to the laws of Nature,moral ity and God, and in departing he has certainly left behind him a name which will be a safe signboard for any man. Monday afternoon his remains were laid away in their last narrow bed, by the side of the dear wife who had preced him about four years ago. The funeral was taken charge of by the Odd Fellows, the Order he loved so well, who conducted the ;body of their beloved brother from his late rosidence to St. Mark's Epis tcopal Chubrch where the first services Fwere conducted by Rev. W. T. Dick inson DaIlzell, his beloved pastor, whose remarks, always timely, were this time more than timely. With earnest mien and pathetic tone this gifted divine poured oat the ionlghtN rof his heart, the truths of his con scieuco and all that he sail drew forth an earnest, though inaudible. 1- amen from the large congregation of n )both ladies aid gantlemen, who went 0 a- out to pay their respects to the dead. ir) Sieei on dear friend and brother, but ini Odd Fellows teathing thy 11 name will always be spoken in hal- c y lowed memory and thy example and . connsels will live on forever.
