JOHN H. PHILLIPS, farmer; P. O. Box Lebanon; was born in Saratoga Co., N. Y. Dec. 19, 1838; he is a son of Elijah and Lorinda Phillips, natives of New York, who settled here about 1874. The early boyhood of our subject was passed with his father, who was a dealer and shipper of stock; he received common education, such as could be obtained in the district schools. In 1855, he came to Ohio, a single man, and for three and one-half years worked as a hand for $10 per month, and during the time saved $65 per annum.

of John Irons; after that event he rented land for six years, when he bought a home in Washington Township, on which he lived six years, when he sold and came to where he now resides; at present he owns 137 ½ acres of fine land, all of which lies in Union Township but 26 acres. He is one of our county’s self-made men, is an industrious and intelligent farmer, and one whose integrity and character is above reproach. To Mr. and Mrs. P. three children were born, viz., Melvin R., Indiola and John. Mrs. P. was born in Warren Co. in 1842. Politically, Mr. P. is a Republican and has always voted with that party upon all questions at issue. |
