Mahlon Philip, the son of James and Anna Everson died Sunday night after an illness of about two weeks from typhoid fever. He was born April 2, 1896 and died Oct 31, 1897 aged 1 year 6 months and 22 days. He suffered intensely but bore it all with patience. The parents thank Mrs. Alex Byers, Mrs. Josie Williams, Mrs. Sina Goble and Mrs. Isaac Schenck to whom all praise is due for the care and attention bestowed upon him. "A little bud, not yet half blown, that to our eyes, so brightly shown. Has been transplanted by a tender hand to that bright floral and celestial land." - kbz

Mahlon Phillip, the 19 months’ old infant of James and Anna Everson, died at the family residence in Whitesville of typhoid fever Sunday, Oct. 31, and was buried Monday, Nov. 1, in the Myers Cemetery. All deaths are sad, but this seemed one of the saddest, as neither mamma nor papa were permitted to be with it during its last hours, they both being down with typhoid fever. Mahlon was an unusually bright child, loving and loved by everyone. We simply have to say “Thy will be done”. We know he is resting safely in the arms of Jesus. Many and beautiful were the floral gifts displayed on his little casket.
