BIOGEAPHIOAL SKETCH. 



JUDGE L. II. PHILLIPS. 



Yulkert Phillips, son of John Phillips, was born in 

 Otsego Co., N. Y. His father was probably born in Hol- 

 land and settled very early in this country, in Otsego 

 County. He was a farmer by occupation. Yulkert Phil- 

 lips followed fiirming principally. He married Ruth Hun- 

 gerford, daughter of Rev. James Hungerford, of Ontario 

 Co., N. Y., by whom he had nine children, of whom eight 

 are still living. He settled when a young man in the town 

 of Campbell, and was engaged in working farms on shares. 

 In 1841, he purchased the farm now owned by his son, 

 Lyman H., in the town of Thurston, of Judge Lyman 

 Balcom, of Erwin. In politics he was formerly a Whig, 

 but when the Republican party was formed he became a 

 member of the latter organization. He and his wife were 

 members of the Christian Church of Thurston. He died 

 in 1867, his wife in 1869. Lyman H., youngest son of 

 Vulkert and Ruth Phillips, was born in Campbell, Sept. 

 15, 1837. He was reared on the farm, and was also 

 en^raired in the lumber but^iness more or less during the

and taught nine winters. He enlisted Aug. 21, 1862, in 

 Company E, 141st Regiment New York Volunteers. He 

 served till the close of the war. The history of the battles 

 and marches made by his regiment can be seen by referring 

 to another part of this work. He was honorably discharged 

 with his regiment, at Elmira, N. Y., in 1865. He had 

 two brothers in the army, John and James ; both went from 

 the West. Mr. Phillips is a staunch Republican, and has 

 held various official positions. He was elected in 1866 as 

 justice of the peace, and still continues to hold that office. 

 In 1874 he was elected supervisor of his town. In 1876 

 he was elected Justice of Sessions and served two terms. 



He married, March 22, 1871, Olive M. Booth, widow 

 of Lieut. John L. Booth (see Military Record), who died 

 from a disease contracted while in the army in the spring 

 of 1865. Olive M. is the daughter of Ansel J. and Eliza 

 Parker, and was born at Bath, Nov. 16, 1845. Since re- 

 turning from the army, Mr. Phillips has resided on his 

 present farm of one hundred and twenty acres. Mr. Phil- 

 lips is one of the representative men of Thurston. He 

 takes an active interest in whatever pertains to the material 

 or educational interest of his town.
