"Chilion Phillips, son of Benjamin and Harriet (Rothermel) Phillips, was born Sept. 2, 1861, on one of the Jacob Phillips farms, and he has been interested in farm work all his life. He worked for his parents until he reached his majority, after which, for eleven years, he followed threshing, during the latter part of this period also engaging in farming in Lower Mahanoy township. Since 1893 he has devoted his energies exclusively to farming. During the eighties he purchased the farm near Hickory Corners, in the Stone Valley, where he now lives, one of the John Kiebel homesteads, which consists of fifty-nine acres of the most fertile land in this productive belt. Mr. Phillips put up his present barn in 1902 and his other buildings in 1904. He is a substantial and successful farmer, believing in both up-to-date methods and old-fashioned industry, a combination which, in the results he has obtained, speaks for itself. He is a Democrat, and has served one term as school director. He and his family are Lutheran members of the Zion’s Union church of Stone Valley, and he has served as deacon.”
“In March, 1884, Mr. Phillips married Sarah B. Ferster, daughter of David and Judith (Brosius) Ferster and granddaughter of Peter Ferster. They have had three children: Katie, wife of David Lenker, a school teacher and farmer; Gertie, who died aged nine years; and Charles B.” cited from J.L.Floyd’s “Annuals of Northumberland County, Pa.”
David Lenker, son of John M and Mary E (Schaffer) Lenker, was born 28 May 1882; died 17 Apr 1972. He married Kate E Phillips, daughter of Chilion & Sarah B (Ferster) Phillips (1864-1937).
