Joseph Andrew Phillips
Joseph followed in his fathers footsteps and worked as a Locomotive Engineer for Wabash Railroad. He had been ill with a brain tumor for 3 months and passed away at Wabash Employee Hospital. The informant was Mrs. Joseph Phillips of Danville, IL. All of the documentation I could find, records Joseph as single even though his death certificate records him married. When he registered for the WWII draft, he lists his mother as next of kin. He was 6 ft tall 170 lbs with a ruddy complexion, brown hair and blue eyes.
