Property Features
Phillips, the former sheriff of Onondaga County, New York and a state representative, arrived in Fond du Lac County in 1852 with his brother Lyman Phillips. Primarily a farmer, Phillips was also elected to the state Senate in 1860, and provost marshal of the Fond du Lac district in 1863-1864. Elihu was also the founder and first president of the Fond du Lac Savings Bank.
The Lyman Phillips (Elihu's brother) house was very similar in design and appeared on Bogert & Haight's 1862 Map of Fond du Lac County Wisconsin. This residence, however, was destroyed by fire in 1876.
