Published in The Crocker News, Pulaski County, Missouri on Thursday, April 27, 1916. --------------------------------------- Death Angel Calls Aged Pioneer Mrs. Nancy M. Phillips was born in Kentucky on October 17, 1836, and died at her home in Crocker, April 28, 1916, aged 79 years, 6 months, 11 days, after an illness lasting since last October. She was bedfast from February 4th until her death. She moved with her parents to Missouri and settled in Franklin County, on the St. John’s Creek, in 1845. At the age of seventeen she married William Terry. After his death she later married Thomas Phillips on November 1, 1860, who survives her. There were seven children born to this union, four of whom are living—two sons and two daughters as follows: George W. Phillips, Mrs. Maggie Hall, D. B. Phillips of Western Washington, and Mrs. Ida Cheatum, of Eads, Colo. She moved to Pulaski County in 1884 and made her home in Crocker continuously from that time. Grandma, as she was familiarly known, untied with the church at the age of seventeen and lived a Christian until her Savior called her home. She had a very sweet disposition, a smile and pleasant word for everyone, and bore her suffering patiently. She will be greatly missed by all. Funeral services were held at the home on Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock and the remains were laid to rest in the Crocker Cemetery. Rev. E. M. Vance by her special request, had charge of these services. The family have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. Published in The Crocker News, Pulaski County, Missouri on Thursday, May 4, 1916.
