PHILLIPS, Elsie (Hall)
LeRoy Journal Friday June 16, 1911
Death of Mrs. Elmer Phillips Mrs. Elmer Phillips, who was Miss Elsie Hall, was born in LeRoy, IL. May 28, 1886, and was the fourth child of Mr. and Mrs. John Hall, who are now living in Fisher, IL. She departed this life very quietly last Mon. Evening (June 12, 1911), from internal injuries. At six years of age she entered school at Farmer City and after her parents moved to LeRoy she continued her studies in the LeRoy School through the eighth grade when circumstances compelled her to remain at home. She always ranked high in her class and was well loved by all her school mates. She was married
to Mr. Elmer Phillips of Downs at Bloomington on July 12, 1905, and to them were born a family of four children: Evert Gale, six years old; Rowena M., four years old; and Alva Kyle, seven months old. One daughter, Eva Wanetta, died at the age of fourteen months last August and was laid away in the Oak Grove cemetery. Saturday, June 12, she and her children were on their way to visit her parents at Fisher, when at Laurette, while some switching was being done, she attempted to give her baby a drink. At the same time a car was kicked against the coach, jarring the little one out of her arms and throwing her over a stool, which is used as an extra step for the coach when stopping at a station. At that time she received internal injuries which has resulted in her death Monday evening. She suffered severely for several days, but bore it all patiently and without complaint. At intervals she was semi-conscious and continued to grow worse until the end came. About two hours before she died, she became conscious long enough to bid farewell to those at her bedside and also to request her parents to care for her children. Very quietly she breathed her last. She was a faithful Sunday School Scholar and dedicated her life to God during a revival at Downs in the U.B. Church about five years ago. Beside her husband, and three children, she leaves to mourn, two brothers, Harry and Oscar; one sister, Mrs. Ida Forrest, of Glenavon; also four aunts and two uncles. She was well known by nearly everyone and it is only too true that to know her was to love her. The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the Christian Church, conducted by Rev. Mr. Harris of Bloomington, and the interment took place at Oak Grove cemetery.
