Phillips passed away at seven o’clock Sunday morning at his home southeast of this city following an illness of only a few days duration. The cause of his death was given as pneumonia. Although his condition had been critical, it was believed that he had improved until a short time before his death. He was born near Sedalia, Missouri, on March 4, 1871, and came to this community with his parents when a boy. After his marriage he moved to the farm near Simpson Chapel and lived there for almost 28 years. In his dealings with his fellow-man he inspired confidence and gained the respect of everyone. He held positions of responsibility in the Simpson church and in his school district. Funeral services were held from the home near Simpson Chapel, southeast of this city, Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock by Rev. E.J. Shook, pastor of the Methodist Church at Sigourney. Interment was made in Southlawn Cemetery. The following obituary was read at the service: “Every human soul is making its round trip from God.” On the 4th day of March 1871, God placed in this world a beautiful soul, a bright little star, which was destined to shine with a firm, steady, light pointing the way to the Maker. Nurtured in a home where God was the controlling influence, this soul, a kindly faced boy named Hosea, gradually expanded, breathing in the refreshing air of his beautiful home. Years passed by and all the while the sweet influence and tender ministration of a Christian mother, supplemented by the sturdy character of a godly father, gave to this boy’s life noble aspirations, a love for God and a longing to know Him better. At the age of fourteen years, Hosea definitely accepted Christ as his Savior, thereby laying the foundation for a temple that will stand through all eternity. But God does not build an eternal temple, a character, fitted for His great work on earth and later in eternity, without bringing tempests, to give strength, trust and assurance. In Hosea’s boyhood life sickness for years attacked the body making it frail and dashing to pieces the cherished ambition for a higher education. It was as the refiner’s fire burning the soul sweet and pure, with a trusting reliance on the Master to lend. The firm grip on God never loosened instead it grew more firm; and Hosea retained it until God called to return Hosea to Him January 29, 1928. In 1900 Hosea was united in marriage to Miss Ethel McCabe. The first step in establishing the new home was to build an altar to their God. The fires of God have constantly burned on that altar and no one has gone in and out of that house without having felt the uplifting influence of God’s presence there. Hosea’s sweet Christian character has been a great gyrometer, the balancing wheel helping to hold the home and its sacred ties in the balance. Into this home were born three children, Ruth, Margaret, and Robert, all living to cherish the memory of a Christian father. The noblest influences of life and of God have been thrown about them from earliest childhood-What a heritage. We sit sometimes in awe, yet with rejoicing hearts in memory of the peace and quietness of Hosea’s life. His convictions of truth of justice and of righteousness were backed by a sturdy determination which made his godly influence felt in all his business relations. These unerring principles he injected into all his work in the church he loved. He was one of the bulwarks of the church. In all its activities he was deeply interested and could confidently be relied upon for constant unwavering support. God has called him early in life from work in His vineyard here and our hearts are made heavy because of his going, yet, we cannot but rejoice when we recall some of his last words, “I know where I am going and all is well.” God has taken from us a constant inspiration for good, but He has left with us the calm influence of a life truly spent in his service. In the midst of our tears our hearts look up to our Devine Master in thankfulness and praise. Seymour Hearld 02.02.1928 P.1 Added by techwriter777
