--------------------------------------

Great grandfather Phillips lived until I was 17 years old and I knew himwell. He was well respected in his communtiy, as he was known in theentire state of Oregon. My two sisters used to board with him during thewinter months so that they could participate in after school activitiesduring their high scool years. The bus ride from our ranch in Keating(17 miles out of Baker) started at 6:30 AM and ended at 5PM when we weredelivered back home. By the time I was in high school, my grandparents(Ira & Bernice) lived in Baker, so I stayed with them.

Fred settled in Washington territory (initially Douglas County, but soonhomesteaded in Mabton-near Yakima, Washington) in 1887 along with hisfather and 5 brother/sisters. When his father died in 1888, he was thehead of the family. He hired himself and a mule team out to a loggingoperation for $10 a day while the younger children maintained thehomestead. Food was always a probelm. Aunt Myrtle said that theyrefused charity from the other homesteaders and insisted on doing laundryfor anyone who gave them food/clothing (probably the people who got theirclothes laundered had to relaunder the clothing to get it clean). Onlythe Indians would give them true charity. The children would come outthe front door in the morning and occasionaly find a quarter of venisonlaying by the steps that the Indians had left for them.

Grandad Phillips was co-founder of the Oregon Cattleman's Association.His name is hanging in the Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City as one ofthe three Honor Roll cattlemen from the state of Oregon.

Fred started in the cattle business as a buyer of cattle from theIndians. He spoke fluent Yakima/Umatilla Indian and taught my sisterLinda many phrases. His last words before he died were in Indian.Grandmother Bernice went with him as a young girl to stay in the Indiancamp while he conducted business. Her memories were not pleasant as thesmell was horrendous (having visited some third world countries wheresewage was "open", I can imagine).

Fred had a chain of butcher shops in Eastern Oregon and Washington beforegoing into the ranching business. He moved to Baker, Oregon about 1900.His wife Minnie was dying of the consumption (tuberculosis). After herdeath, he remarried Lula, in order to take care of the children. Lulaimmediately sent the kids off to boarding school (Annie Wright Seminary,Tacoma, WA in Grandmother Bernice's case). Grandmother never called Lulamother, we always called her "Aunt" Lula.

Grandad Phillips was active until he died at 95. He was president of theBaker Production Credit Association, which was a lending institution forfarmers which had been set up by the US Government during thedepression. Grandad was one of the people who helped found the PCAnationwide.

After Grandad Phillips death, we found a letter in his basement from aWashington DC attorney addressed to him as "Fred Phillips, WashingtonTerritory". Obviously the letter was delivered to him. Can you imaginea letter delivered across country today when you just put the name of theindividual and the state?

----------------------------------------------------ancestry of FredPhillips----------------------------------------------

The information that I have on the ancestry of Fred Phillips isextensive, primarily due to the efforts of two cousins: Martha WrightMatthews of Yakima, WA and Beverly Marston of Keene, NH. Martha hadcollected all of the information on descendants of Joseph Phillips, whowere born in Miller Co, MO. So all of the information on the WesternU.S. cousins is due to her long hours spent on family genealogy. Marthaknew that Joseph was born in NH and advertised in a newspaper there forancestors of Joseph Phillips. A friend of Beverly Marston read the adand told Beverly. Thus the connection to the New England heritage wasestablished. Beverly had become the keeper of our arm of the Phillipsfamily in New England some time after WWII. She belongs to the localgenalogy society and is a stickler for accuracy and standards. Beverlyhad traced nearly all of the branches of the Phillips family in NewEngland back to the original immigrants, most of whom were in the early1600's. Having been raised in the West, anything in the 1800's isconsidered really old! Imagine my surprise to find most of the Phillipsline traced back so far. Beverly had also traced certain branches backto King Alfred the Great and William the Conqueror.

In the year that I have been involved with Martha and Beverly, we haveadded the Chloe Shattuck and Freelove Payne connections. I have alsoadded some ancestry for Michael Phillips which Martha found on theinternet, although the ancestry is far from proven. Beverly and Marthaconsider it too speculative to put in their ancestry. Beverly evenconsiders Freelove Payne to be not "totally proven", although she admitsthat Freelove is "probably" an ancestor.

Martha and Beverly have been wonderful to work with. My contribution isexpanding the base North American ancestry through computer searches andsource books, adding a lot of English noble ancestry, putting it in acomputer program (Family Tree Maker), and putting it on World Connect. Ihave done practically no original research on the Phillips side of thefamily. Thanks to Beverly and Martha it was all done for me.
