Children by Anna Phillips:
Larry and Anna Phillips in 1940's
Descendants M.L. and Anna Phillips from daughters: 3 granddaughters, 4 grandsons;21 great grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren as of March 1998.
Marion Lowry (Larry)Phillips retired from the Richardson Company in Indianapolis, IN and moved to Marrowbone Ky in the late 1960's. He and Anna bought "the big white house next to the roadside park" that had belonged to Dr. Mann. They were active members of the Marrowbone United Methodist Church, where Anna's sister Effie Robert Anderson (Mrs. Curtis Anderson)taught Sunday School. M.L. held the offices of Master of the Lodge at both Marrowbone F&AM and Burkesville F&AM and Worthy Patrol at both chapters of Eastern Star. He was Deputy Grand Master of the State of Kentucky F&AM, a Kentucky Colonel, and Cumberland County Magistrate. He was very involved in genealogical research and his phenominal memory allowed him to remember almost verbatum stories and lineages given to him verbally by the elderly relatives he often visited.
After Anna's death, he sold the big white house and moved into a small mobile home--something easier for a one-armed man to manage. Around 1973, he married Daisy Christine Hodges, a widow, whom he called Christine and we called Mama Chris. (Last I heard, she was in a nursing home in Burkesville, where I visited her in 1997. I do not know if she is still living.)
NOTE: Anna Taylor was the granddaughter of Emily Anderson who lived to be 105 years of age. Click here for her story as written in Louisville Courier Journal.
