[Rochester, Indiana] FORMER ROCHESTER MAN BUYS TOWN A clipping from an Oroville, Cal., paper, states that two men have purchased a whole town for 12,000 dollars, one of them being a former resident of this city. The clipping states that the whole town of Keddie, Cal., has been sold, Robert F. KOONTNER having disposed of his store, blacksmith shop, postoffice, justice of peace office, butcher shop, numerous cottages and a controlling interest in the Oom Paul gold mine near there to C. C. PHILLIPS and Oscar SAGESE, of San Mateo county. These buildings, with the Western Pacific depot, comprise the whole town. The consideration is said to have been $12,000. C. O. Phillips will be remembered by many Rochester people, having taught the eighth grade at the South school building for many years. He moved to California about fifteen years ago, and has been prospecting since then. [Rochester Sentinel, Monday, December 22, 1913] PHILLIPS, CHARLOTTE BLASSINGHAM [Rochester, Indiana] FORMER ROCHESTER LADY HAS STORY IN LIBERTY A former Rochester resident, Mrs. Charlotte Blassingham Phillips, now of San Diego, Calif., has a short story appearing in this week’s issue of the Liberty magazine. The title of the story is “Painless Extraction.” The story, which is a humorous one, concerns the manner in which a white woman scared some Indians. Older residents of the city will remember the story as it was one of the favorites of the late C. C. Wolfe, pioneer resident and jeweler of Rochester, who was an uncle of Mrs. Phillips. Mrs. Phillips is both a writer and a painter. She was reared in Rochester and graduated from the Rochester high school. At the present time she is a feature story writer on the staff of a San Diego newspaper and also does freelance short story writing for magazines and other publications.

Ph PHILLIPS, HICKMAN [Union Township] BIOGRAPHY Hickman Phillips, a prominent and enterprising merchant of Kewanna, is a native of Virginia. He was born February 15, 1834, in what is now Barbour County, W. Va., but which was then Randolph County, before the State was divided. His father, Phineas Phillips, was a native of the same county, and was there married to Susan Hudkins. He was a farmer, and was engaged in that pursuit in connection with the wheelwright’s trade. Hickman, the subject of this sketch, remained at home until eighteen years of age, working on the farm and attending school. In 1852, he came to Fulton County, Ind., and located in Union Township, whither he had been preceded by relatives. In the fall of the same year, his father came with his famiy and purchased a farm in Union Township, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits until death. For six years the subject of this sketch remained with his father on the new farm, but in 1858 removed to Missouri, where he taught school during the winter of that year. In the following spring he was one of a comany who set out upon a journey to Pike’s Peak, and was, perhaps, the mo st persistent one of the party in the determination to brave the dangers and surmont the obstacles in the way. Before they had quite reached Fort Kearney, they met a great many people who had tried the journey, and were turning back discouraged. Something of their dempened ardor took possession of the party from Missouri, and they, too, were in favor of turning back, but Mr. Phillips insisted upon their taking him through to Pike’s Peak, as he had paid his passage, and held them in camp for two days insis ting upon going ahead, but finally reluctantly yielded to the pressure brought to bear upon him to return. At Memphis, Mo., Mr. Phillips entered the mercantile house of J. & J. Duncan, and about theee months later was placed in charge of a branch of this house at Uniontown, Mo. At the end of about two years, he returned to Memphis, and in the summer of 1862 went with the Messrs. Duncan to Birmingham, Iowa, and after a sojourn of about three months in that town, returned to his old home in Indiana, and emb arked in mercantile pursuits at Kewanna. By nature and experience he is eminently qualified for this vocation, and by industry and good management has made it a success. He ranks among the leading merchants of the county, and as one of the most enterpris ing and public-spirited citizens of the locality in which he resides. He was one of the first who began to agitate the railroad interests of Kewanna, and has been one of the most active in laboring to secure railroad communication with the outside world from that point. To all public improvements he has extended his encouragement, doing all within his power to build up the material interests of the county. He is an active and enthusiastic member of Kewanna Lodge, No. 546, A., F. & A.M., and although not identified with any religious sect, his upright and honorable life entitles him to recognition as one of the best citizens--a title unanimously accorded him by those who know him. Mr. Phillips has been twice married. First, in the spring of 1861, to Miss Adelaide Huston, of Iowa, daughter of Samuel Huston, a former resident of Washington County, Ind. She accompanied her parents to Iowa, where she resided at the date of her marriage. She died in December, 1874, leaving seven children to mourn her loss, viz.: Norma Belle, Albert H., Erwin, Myrmetta, Sadie, Leslie and Addie, of whom all now survive save Addie. On the 4th of July, 1876, Mr. Phillips was united in marriage with Miss Jennie E. Calvert, at Rochester, Minn. This union has been blessed by two children, named, respectively, Avie and Calvert. [T. B. Helm, Fulton County Atlas, A. L. Kingman, 1883, pp. 58-59] PHILLIPS, JOHN C. [Kewanna, Indiana] BIOGRAPHY The subject of this sketch was born in Barbour County, W. Va., July 30, 1845. His parents, Phineas and Susana Phillips, were natives of Virginia, and came to Fulton County in 1852. He was a wheelwright by trade, but followed farming most of his life. Their family consisted of six children, five of whom are now living and married. He deceased in 1864, at the
