Biography

[edit]

Phillips was born on May 12, 1824, in Adams, Massachusetts.[1] He came west to Wisconsin in 1850, settling first in Dodge County before moving to Racine in 1856, where he resided for the rest of his life.[2][3]

Career

[edit]

Phillips was a member of the Assembly during the 1869 and 1870 sessions before representing the 3rd District in the Senate during the 1881 and 1882 sessions.[4] Additionally, he was a member of the city council and assessor of Racine. He was a Republican.

Phillips was part of a delegation of the Racine County board of supervisors that traveled to other areas of the state to inspect municipal jail facilities as part of a project to build a new Racine County jail. During this travel, Phillips contracted a disease which ultimately resulted in his death. He died at his home in Racine on April 15, 1893.[2]
