PHILPOT of Weeping Water motored over for a few hours today to look after some matters in regards to his automobile business. Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, June 26, 1916 [Weeping Water] Charles PHILPOT took advantage of the good prices for cattle and shipped several car loads to Omaha Monday. They brought $10.25 per hundred pounds. Mr. and Mrs. B.L. PHILPOT are mourning the loss of the infant son born to them Thursday, but who lived only until Monday. A little life departing after even so short a stay here on earth can leave vacant a place that causes much sorrow. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, short services being held at the cemetery. Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, June 18, 1917 Bert PHILPOT returned Wednesday morning from Chase county. He reports crop conditions very good. His large tractor under the management of L.W. GREGORY, has broke 600 acres of prairie, and is starting in on another 600-acre tract. The tractor will be run from now on with a double shift and will put in eighteen hours a day. He says Burt reed is busy keeping four tractors going over in Perkins county. Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, July 16, 1917 J.W. PHILPOT started his binder Wednesday in his barley field.

Wallace Philpot was on the market Wednesday with a mixed load of cattle and hogs, the last of his feeding. Prices were a shade lower than some time ago. The cattle sold from $12.95 to $13.35.
