Huffman-Levander Funeral Home of Elgin is in charge of arrangements. ——— Philip Edwin Lee, son of Frank and Blanche (Appuhn) Lee, was born Jan. 10, 1920, at Ashland. He attended a rural school before moving with his father to Illinois. In 1938, he hitchhiked to Milford and later that year found work on the Bar H ranch near Clearwater. On June 9, 1941, Phil married Ileen Florence Cary at O’Neill. The couple honeymooned at Boise, Idaho, where they spent a happy “working honeymoon.” Phil found work picking cherries and later picking corn by hand before returning to Nebraska. He was drafted into the Army in August 1944 and then trained at Fort Robinson and in Arkansas before being deployed to Europe to fight in the Battle of the Bulge. During the occupation of Germany, Phil served as bodyguard to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower and did some guard duty for Gen. George Patton before being honorably discharged on July 3, 1946, and returning to Clearwater. The couple became parents to a baby boy, David, in 1948. He was diagnosed with nephritis at age 3½ and passed away a year later. Phil worked as a farm hand until purchasing a farm near Page in 1962. He continued farming there until selling the farm and purchasing a house in Ewing in 1992, following a battle with cancer. Phil gave his heart and life to the Lord in 1947 and was a devoted Christian the rest of his life. He enjoyed trees and planted over 1,500 on their farm, and his love for airplanes pushed him to take flying lessons later in life. Phil was preceded in death by his parents, wife Ileen in July 2014, son David and five siblings, Frances, Wayne, Pauline, Fern and Maxine. He is survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, his church family and a host of friends. R.I.P Philip, WE miss you dearly, Alvin & Nancy Poole
