s/o Alexander & Sophronia Philips
Published in Brantford Expositor- Brantford June 12, 1902 Thursday page 3--Died In His Prime- Mr. Arthur Philips died on Saturday morning at the residence of his father, Mr. Alexander Philips at the age of 37 years.
The deceased was the eldest son and was born on his father's farm, where he died and where he spent his early manhood days. Some seventeen years ago, he married the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, now of Brantford, and shortly after that time, he and his wife went to live in Brantford. For some time, he was with Mr. C. B. Heyd M P, after which he started a grocery on his own account. About 6 years ago, he entered the employment of Mrsses .Ham & Nott where he remained until failing health a few months ago, compelled him to return to his father, hoping that the change to the country might be a benefit to him. But it was not, and he gradually failed in strength until death came to his relief. The deceased was of a very pleasant temperament and was well thought of , not only by his youthful companions but by his associates in later years.
His funeral took place on Monday afternoon, when a large concourse of his early friends as well as his latter ones from Brantford, joined to show their sympathy and respect . He was buried in the Presbyterian cemetery, the Rev. Mr. farmer of the First Baptist Church of which he deceased had been an exemplary member, conducted the services at the house and the grave. His wife and 3 children survive him, to mourn their loss of a devoted husband and an affectionate father.
The floral offerings were very beautiful, among them may be mentioned that of the employees of Ham & Nott and another from the Independent Order of Foresters.
