The following sketch of Mr Phillips is taken from “ The Jour nal” published at Alpena. South Dakota of date March 2nd. 18!)4. “ Frank B. Phillips was ’ born in Michigan in i85f>. At the age of ten years his mother died and five years Inter bis father passed away leaving him to help support the family. He moved to Iowa later, and in ’ 82 bought a Jerauld county farm and built one of tbe first houses on Sand Creek. He now owns two farms and a line equipped hardware store, all through efforts of his own. Thrice has he repre sented this county in Republican .State Conventions, once in Terri torial days. Frank is now serving his second term as Mayor of Alpena. In ’ 90 he was married to Edith May Arne, and two children have blessed their hearts and home.” Mr. Phillips is now the candi date for Mayor o f Cottage Grove on the law and order ticket. He is is one of the foremost men o f our community. He has been a resi dent of our town for the past ten years and his record as a private citiz.en is evidence ot the fact that the voters o f our fair city will make no mtstake in placing him at the wheel to pilot the municipal affairs of the city for the ensuing year.
