Philbrick, the subject of this sketch, was born in the town of Richland, March 6, 1840, and died at Lacona, January 4, 1901, being 61 years of age the 6th day of next March. He was twice married, his first wife being Mrs. Harriet Sampson, of Sandy Creek, who died in 1887. His second wife was Mrs. Ruth McNett, who survives him. Deceased is also survived by three step-children, Frank Sampson, of Pender, Nebraska, Mrs. V. B. Weed, of Pulaski, and Flora A., whose home is in Lacona, and by two own daughters, Hattie J., whose husband was partner in the business in Lacona, and Jennie E., who married Henry W. Williams, and lives at Wilkes Bane, Pennsylvania. There are also three sisters surviving, Mrs. Edson Deremo, of Pulaski; Mrs. George Bailey, of Syracuse, and Mrs. Romain Klock, of Parish, and one brother, Ezra, of Syracuse. The funeral was held at the M E. church at Sandy Creek of which he was a member, on Monday, January 7, at one o'clock, p.m., and was conducted by Rev. C. L. Peck, who is pastor of the M. E. church in this place. The funeral was largely attended by his friends and acquaintances from this and surrounding towns, and he will be missed by this circle of acquaintances and prominent among which are the business men of the town in which he lived, who will miss his counsel in public affairs and will also miss him at his place of business for he was always at his post and was universally kind and considerate in his attention to the public. His life bears its own testimony, that he was governed in all his transactions by the inward spirit of the "golden rule," this desire to do right had its origin in his love for doing his master's will. And his works do follow him. -Sandy Creek News.
