    "[A]ttended the local school and worked on his father's farm until he was grown.  He married Edna Bailey, the sister of Robert Bailey, who married Leona Conly.  Philip, while still a young man, built his home just south of his father's home.  Later he built east of his father's home and lived there the remainder of his life.  Philip was a large man, with a ruddy face, a deacon in the Springhill church and a leader in the community.  After the death of his first wife, Edna Bailey, Philip married Ethel Green.  Philip and Edna are buried in the family plot in the Springhill Cemetery.  They had six children."
