JAMES F. PHILLIPS, proprietor of the Richmond House, Morgantown, was 
born in Monmouthshire, England, October 8, 1843.  He was the third of 
six children, five of whom are now living; a sister, Annie, resides at 
Long Island, and a brother, Edwin, in Hopkins County, Ky.  His parents 
are Evan and Jemima Phillips, the former now seventy-five and the latter 
seventy-three years of age, both residing in England.  Our subject was 
reared and received his education in his native land until the age of 
twenty-one, when he left home and became a practical miner.  Soon 
afterward he removed to America, landing in New York May 5, 1868.  He 
immediately removed to the State of Ohio, where he followed the business 
of mining one year.  He then came to Boyd County, Ky., and became a 
contractor in the Ashland mines.  He remained there five years, and in 
1879 removed to Clay County, Ind., and soon after settled in Hopkins 
County, Ky., and was in business there four years; thence came to Mining 
District, Butler County, where he became superintendent of mines, in 
which business he was engaged four years.  In October, 1884, he removed 
to Morgantown and purchased the Richmond House, which he has refitted and 
furnished.  His table, rooms and all the appointments of the house are 
first class.  Mr. Phillips was married October 15, 1883, to Mrs. Frank 
Haffley, a native of Moulton, Ala., where she was born March 5, 1848.  
She was the fourth child of Jacob Odom, and was brought up at Tuscumbia, 
Ala.
