1892: Mr. A. Phillips, Jewish Citizen, Athens, GA.

MR. A. PHILLIPS DEAD.

He Passed Over the River Yesterday Morning.

Thursday morning about two o'clock, Mr. A. Phillips, an old and respected Jewish citizen of Athens, passed away. For sometime he had been in declining health and his death was due more to old age than any other cause.

Mr. Phillips had been a citizen of Athens for quite a number of years, and numbered his friends by the scores. He leaves five daughters and three sons to mourn his death among whom are Mrs. S. Michael and Miss Martha Phillips and Messrs Felix and Hugo Phillips, of this city.

The funeral services were held at his late residence on Pulaski street yesterday afternoon and were conducted by Rabbi Jacobson in a most impressive manner, after which the remains were gently laid to rest.

The bereaved relatives and friends have the sympathies of all in their hour of affliction.
