No Story Too Small |
It is not known what happened to Philip's father, but by late 1883, his
family moved from Falls County to the Bethel Community in Erath County, Texas.
In 1884, Philip's mother married John A. Thompson. John A. Thompson died in
1899 and in 1900 and 1910, Philip was found living with his mother and
half-siblings in Erath County.

On January 17, 1917, Philip married Nancy Jane "Janie"
Keller Kolb, widow of Thomas J. Kolb and mother of children Orzo and Ola
Frances Kolb. Philip and Janie spent their remaining years in the Morgan Mill
area of Erath County. The 1940 census indicated that they owned land and Philip
continued to farm. Philip was described
on his WWII draft registration as being tall and of medium build with brown
hair and brown eyes.
Janie died on January 30, 1949 and Philip died on January 4, 1962. They are buried in the Morgan Mill Cemetery.
