After reading the story above, I did som...Hi Susan<br /><br />After reading the story above, I did some research and found records which offer some answers to this mystery. I haven't yet found evidence of George Wendell Phillips after 1924, but I have found some of interest, prior.<br /><br />Firstly, you name his father as Benjamin or George. In a report of George's mother's 1924 death, it records that she had previously been married to Benjamin Phillips of Salamanca. I believe the following links likely to be Benjamin Phillips and family:-<br /><br />1892 NY State Census https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MQ9L-5TF<br /><br />1855 NY State Census https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/K636-CSD<br /><br />There are records on this link that give Benjamin's mother as Anne Rees D: 17 Mar 1883 (70 yrs 2m), father as Jonathan M D: 13 Jan 1882 (65yrs 6m), and siblings burials.<br /><br />http://www.paintedhills.org/CATTARAUGUS/FreedomCem.html<br /><br />This link gives a NARA holding of a service record of the US Marine Corps for a Phillips, George Wendell DOB: 11/21/1887 Service Number: 00013785 Date of Enlistment: 08/11/1918.<br /><br />http://research.archives.gov/description/2380137<br /><br />In a report entitled "Local Marine is Helping to Pacify Santo Domingo" from The North Tonawanda Evening News 1919, it records that Corporal George W Phillips, the son of Minnie S Patterson, 264 Goundry Street, is a 'flyer' in Squadron D of the Marine Aviation Force.<br /><br />A report from The Evening News - North Tonawanda - Monday, 9 February 1920, reads:-<br /><br />Norton -Phillips<br /><br />The marriage of Miss Frances Norton to Mr George W Phillips took place Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock at the home of the brother of the bride. Mr W E Norton, 1928 Collins Drive, Miami Beach.<br /><br />The ceremony was beautifully simple. The bridal altar was arranged under a canopy of palms and flowers. Only the immediate relatives and friends of the young people were present. Dr. J. M. Gross performed the ceremony and used the ring service. A wedding breakfast was served to the bridal party and guests.<br /><br />The romance which led to the wedding began while Mr Phillips was stationed at the marine aviation field. The bridegroom has recently returned from San Domingo, where he served with the aviation forces. Mr. Phillips is the son of Mr & Mrs J. J. Patterson of 264 Goundry Street, but he and Mrs. Phillips will make their home in Miami.<br /><br />There is a great photo of the Marine Flying Field, Miami, Florida, 1918 on this link:-<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/usmcarchives/6690861553/in/set-72157628854532081/<br /><br />Also worth noting that in a report of Jerome Patterson's 1936 death it is recorded that 'no immediate relatives survive'.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942912975112278415noreply@blogger.com
