Sep. 6, 1863 Mr. and Mrs. Percy W. Phillips now prominent pioneers of Pratt county were married in Indiana. A few days later the young bride and her husband ... ride away with the 7th Indiana Calvary to help save the Union from disruption. She did not see her husband again for several months. When she did he carried a 1-ounce bullet at the base of his brain and had forgotten everything and every one he ever knew. Mr. Phillips had been a school teacher.... but on one of Price's raids into Kansas in Lynn County he suffered the wound which utterly incapacitated him. Undaunted, the young wife began to teach him to think again. She was forced to begin at the very bottom. He had forgotten his alphabet, his mother and his wife. She taught him to read, write and in a few years his former education was regained. In 1877 Mrs. Phillips learned that she had TB and must go west if she wanted to live. They settled in Rose Valley township, Pratt County, took a homestead and a tree claim and proved up on them. Mr. Phillips built up a modest fortune but in 1893 he lost everything. Being not discouraged he now owns 14 quarter sections in Pratt County.
He is 85 and Mrs. Phillips is 81 and both have lived in the same house for 29 years. They have 3 girls and 5 boys with 19 grandchildren. One son is Dr. Charles Phillips, surgeon in southwest Kansas. Mr. Phillips still carries the Minnie ball at the base of his brain. It entered the left eye totally destroying it, deflected and lodged inside the skull just below the brain mass. It shows up on x-rays. He draws a pension of $72 per month but only got $4 per month for some time.
Martha Brown Phillips Lynch scrapbook in possession of Matthew Phillips has another article which has a photo of Mr. Phillips showing the location of the bullet in his head which the Rebs lodged therein the battle near Mound City, Kansas on 25 Oct. 1864. [6]
