Notes - “Mary Magdalene held offices in a number of organizations including the Eastern Star of the Masonic Order. She was a public speaker and lecturer. Her remark regarding she and her sisters, “We were all so rich and so pretty” was aptly spoken. Mary Magdalene (Maggie) married Louis Phillips who became a banker in Henry. Nephew James Davis of Peoria said the Phillips family had one of the first cars in Henry. As of this date, June 30, 1982, their four children all survive. Clarence married Orpha Duncan of Scranton, Iowa. He was in banking with his father, then later moved to Iowa. He managed the Chamber of Commerce in Altona and Ottawa, was Cerebral Palsy State President and helped on the Drake University Fund Drive after moving to DesMoines. Daughter Mary Magdalene married Charles Grahl, a Brigadier General in the Iowa National Guard. Helen married George Neel, Vice President, Chicago area, Universal Atlas Cement Company. Louis married Ella Bade. He is a retired banker at Varna. An interesting fact about the four Phillips children is that they were all married over fifty years to the same wife or husband.” [2]
