Hello Cece: As you can see the only PEAK that crossed my line was a George W. Peak who married Susan Phillips in 1882 in Hendricks County. I know this family lived in Jennings County before moving to Hendricks County. They had at least two children, I only know the name of one (Raymond) Both parents are buried in Bethesda Cemetery in Brownsburg. This Susan was the daughter of Thomas James Phillips and Susan Wilson who were married in Jennings County in 1833.

The day being an ideal one the relatives with beaming faces from all directions to the number of 53 had gathered. Milt and Emma had looked forward to this day for almost a year and so had everything in tip top order having stretched a large canvas in the yard. Under this stood a long table groaning with all the good things which were possible to cook and there was fried chicken and then more fried chicken which the hungry crowd did certainly enjoy. After eating of the good things to their hears content, Milt opened a big freezer of ice cream and it is needless to say what happened then. > > Those present were: S.M. Phillips of Victor, Colorado, Harry Phillips and wife, Charles Phillips, James Barnes, wife and daughter of Scott country, Alfred Stout of Dupont, Wood and Paul Phillips, and Julia Ogdon and children of Columbus, James and Clarence Phillips and their families of Brown township, Mellvile Phillips and wife, John Waters and wife, Ed Watts and wife of Pittsboro, Iva Bell and daughter, Samuel Amick and wife, of Brownsburg, F.B. Hopkins and family of Clayton, George Peak, wife and son Raymond, Almet Wilson, Albert Wilstec and family, Omer Delong and family and Charles Tinsley and family. > > After the dinner hour the time was spent in music, singing and a general good time. Mrs. Samuel Amick read an interesting paper which she had prepared on the descendants of the Wilson and Phillips families, which will publish in next week's issue for the benefit of those who were not present. The crowd then began to leave for their respective homes hoping to meet again a year from that day at the tome of Ed Watts in [rest of article is missing]. > > "NEXT HEADLINE" > > KISH ARMY GETS READY > > Britain Requests United States Cure For England's Interests > > > Mike Phillips > Lee's Summit, Missouri > http://www.genealogy.com/genealogy/users/p/h/i/Michael-L-Phillips/ > > ______________________________
