Source: Confederate Veteran Vol. XL, April 1932, No 4., page 147 John Phillips On November 4, 1931 at Brantley, Ala. John Phillips passed to his reward, aged eighty-nine years. He was a brave soldier of the Confederacy, serving with the 10th Georgia Regiment, and performing his duty always regardless of consequences. While facing the enemy at Chancellorsville, Va., in May 1863, he received a wound which necessitated the amputation of his arm at the shoulder, but in the confusion and turmoil of the time, it was not done until mortification had set in. However, he survived the trying ordeal, and returned home to Alabama, where he married and reared a family. He is survived by his wife, fours sons, and four daughters. Thus has passed one of the few Confederate veterans left in Crenshaw County, Ala. Peace to his soul! [I.G. Bradawl, Commander Camp Grace, No 472, U.C.V]
