The following was written 25 July 2008 by Kambra Philbrook Gallagher, the 3rd great granddaughter of Frank and Anna Philbrook. I started this genealogy hunt about three years ago, and being from Salina, KS my first trip was to the Gypsum Hill Cemetery. Here I located the graves of Frank, Anna, and their children and was a bit surprised to find Lidda Jane Morgan buried beside Grace. It appears from the census records she lived with them quite a while. I will attach a copy of her obituary. I have no idea what paper it is from. The clipping was stuck in the pages of our copy of Rev. Chapman's book. The house at 1600 S. 9th was a large house. By very round-about circumstances a friend of Grace and Eva told my mother that because of its size, the girls hosted "meetings" there. I am assuming some kind of ladies club. I have a photocopy of a photograph date 1954 that says 5th anniversary on it. The picture is full of girls and women (infants to elderly) standing in on the porch and in front of the house. I have absolutely no idea which ones are Grace and Eva. It is my understanding that the family was quite social and friendly. She remembered the Philbrook's fondly. They must have been quite interesting. My father recalls helping clean out the house after Grace died in 1977. It was full of "stuff". They had stacks and stacks and more stacks of National Geographic and other magazines. A bond fire was made and the stacks of papers and magazines were carried out to the yard to burn. Part way through the day someone dropped a stack of magazines and money fell out of the pages. Through the course of the afternoon more money was found in the remaining stacks. I can only imagine how they felt when they realized they had probably been burning money all morning. Sadly, the house, which used to be on the outskirts of town, is now smack dab in the middle and has been torn down and replaced with a gas station.
