- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, June 28, 1877 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Editor Democrat: The following obituary notice we clip from the Waukegan (Illinois) Gazette, a paper sent by some friend to Mrs. George Gurley of this village: Phillips - In Waukegan, Illinois, on Monday, May 28th, 1877, at the residence of his son, Mr. E. B. Phillips, Squire Phillips, aged 84 years. Mr. Phillips was born in Rupert, Bennington County, Vermont, in 1793, removed to Oswego County, New York, in 1837 and to Lake County, Illinois, in 1853. He has lived a constant Christian life, being a member of the Baptist church for over 40 years, he was a man of the strictest integrity, honorable in all his business transactions, and possessed these traits of character that made him many friends and no enemies. So another good man "rests from his labor." Uncle was the last surviving brother of a large and strong family. Elihu, Horace, Moses and Squire, the subject of the above obituary, will be favorably remembered by many of the older citizens of Pulaski. Rest brothers, rest. E. D. Phillips.
