CHARLES PHELLIS, Jr., farmer and stock-dealer, P.O. Rosedale. Charles Phellis, Jr., was born January 9, 1845, in Hamilton County, Ohio. His parents were Jacob and Marilda Phellis, to whom were born eight children, seven now living. Jacob died in Butler County in 1848; his widow survives him, and at present resides in Butler County. When nine years of age, our subject came to Pike Township, Madison County, to live with his uncle, Charles Phellis, whose sketch appears in this work, and with whom he remained until he reached the years of manhood. After receiving a rudimentary education, when sixteen years old he entered the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, which institution he attended one year, when the war of the rebellion broke out. He then withdrew from the university andin July, 1861, enlisted in Company D, Sixty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry Army of the Cumberland, and remained in the service ten months, receiving an honorable discharge in May, 1862, and returning in somewhat feeble health. In the fall of 1862, he again entered Ohio Wesleyan University, and this time he remained two years, leaving the institution at the close of his sophomore year. On October 5, 1869, he married Miss Clara A. Guy, an estimable lady, born August 14, 1580, and a daughter of William and Adelaide Guy, whose sketch appears in this work. Their union has been blessed with three children — Nellie A., born September 3, 1872; Charles W., born July 15, 1875, and Verne H, born June 10, 1881. Mr. Phellis has served as Clerk of Pike Township five years, one term as Justice of the Peace and for two years as Township Trustee. In 1880, he was elected County Commissioner, in which capacity he now officiates. In the management of his farming duties, Mr. Phellis has everything done in the most orderly and advantageous manner. He is of a pleasant, hospitable and entertaining nature, and a most sociable man, highly esteemed in the community.
