Phillip Wyles

Death:	Aug. 29, 1948
Philip Wyles, 70, resident of Hillery until two years ago, died Sunday at Southside Hospital, Mesa, Ariz. He had suffered a fractured hip in a fall nine weeks ago and later developed pneumonia. The body will be brought to Danville Wednesday, to be taken to the Berhalter Funeral Home. Arrangements are incomplete. Mr. Wyles was born Aug. 3, 1878, in Marshfield, Ind. a son of Williamd and Amanda Wyles. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Ethel Cramer, Mesa, Ariz., and Mrs. Nealda Scott, Hillery; five grandchildren; one brother, Robert Buterly, Hastings, Neb., and one sister, Mrs. Lina Trimble. Danville. His wife Elizabeth, preceded him in death in 1946. I copied this from the find a grave site. I checked on the spelling of his last name at the Vermilion County Courthouse. According to his and Elizabeth's marriage license, his last name is spelled Wiles. It could be that it was changed at sometime between Elizabeth's death or the person who did the research at the cemetery. I will take a trip to Pate Cemetery in the future.  I know that Nealda is his step-daughter, however her father died when she was very young. He would have been the only father she actually knew.
