HENRY C. PHILLIPS, son of John F. and Sarah A. (Pattee) Phillips, born Alexandria Jan. 19, 1865; married Oct. 10, 1885, Hattie M., daughter of Aaron and Mary (Marston) Clark. Mr. Phillips was educated in the schools of his native town and at New Hampton, and was employed for a time in a paper mill in Bristol, until he purchased a farm which he operated successfully until he came to Woodsville in April, 1893, to assume the superin- tendency of the Grafton County farm and almshouse, a position he held until his death. He was also jailer and keeper of the county house of correction. Under the energetic and successful management of Mr. Phillips the farm was brought from a run down con- dition to an excellent state of cultivation; the buildings were greatly improved until the institution became one of the most up-to-date in the state. Mr. Phillips was a Demo- crat in politics, and the fact that he held his position under a continuous Republican administration, with plenty of Republicans willing to relieve him of the burden, bears striking testimony to his fitness and efficiency. He was a member of Grafton Lodge (F. & A. M.), Knights Templar, Raymond Consistory (Scottish Rite), Shriners, Moose- hillock Lodge (I. O. O. F.), Elks, and of the Amoskeag Veterans. Died Jan. 1, 1919.
