i nuups answered the last great roll call and joined his comrades on the other side shortly nfter three o'clock this morning. Death came peacefully to the veteran and although accomlpan icd with great sorrow, was not unexpected, Mr. Phillips having been in failing health for the rast seven months. In the passing of George Washing ten Phillips, West Pittston loses another of her honored Civil War veterans, whose ranks have baen thin ing all too fjuickly during the past few years. Only last Monday Mr.

Phillips attended thv Memorial Day exercises in Wf st Pittston cemetery ar.d was one of the most interested veterans who listened to the oration delivered by the Hon. John Blgelow, That he should be called upon to Join hU comrades and surrender his life on this earth so quickly after he had honored their memory, seems indeed sad. For the pas, seven months Mr. Phillips had been in failing health but had always been able to be about his hfine and as late as yesterday meriting, he was about his yard. Late in the afternoon he suffered a relapse and it was apparent that the end was near.

He had been a sufferer from heart trouble for years and was subject to sinking spells. Despite the efforts of physicians and the care of loving hands, Mr. Phillips grew gradually weaker until the end came at three o'clock this morning. He passed peacefully away, being conscious to the last. West Pittston has honored all her Civil War heroes but it is doubtful1 whether any of them have been held in higher esteem than Geo.

Phillips. a i.oMT,t nf thf. fmroiieh ear forty six years, Mr. Phillips was known to almost every one ana nis surname and true christian character was recognized throughout this community. was a bosom friend ot the late John S.

Jenkin3 and many were th? ho dv thpsp two veterans snent in each other's company. Both lovers of nature ana tne wooas mey took manv happy jaunts through th woods and mountains together. The first trout of the season were always in their baskets and they knew every nook and dell in the mountains surrounding the Plttstons. That Mr. Phillips "hould pass away so soon after the death of his friend has occasioned much genuine sorrow in the community where both men were so well known.

Living almost opposite each other the old comrades employed a novel means of summoning one another. From a window in his home, Mc Phillips could look across to Mr. Jenkins' home and whenever Mr. Jenkins desired to have his old friend call, he would place an American flae before the window. AlwayR on the lookout, Mr.

Phillips would soon o'oscrve the signal and crova over to his friends' home to spend a pleasant hour. Georse Washington Phillips was born in Tioga county. N. Jan. 26.
