Additional family information:

Phillip L. Comerford married Rosane "Rosa" Dorothy Eck on February 18, 1902, in Christian County, Illinois.

One morning Rosa went out to gather eggs and bent her nee into the feed box. The feed box broke and her leg became trapped. After about three hours, her son Virgil found her and helped her back to the farmhouse. Her leg never healed and it became worst over time. Several months later she had acquired gangrene in the leg, and she died.

Phillip L. Comerford never married again after the death of his wife. Until his death 21 years later, he continually carried her wedding ring in his pocket.

View the gravesite of Phillip L. and Rosane "Rosa" Dorothy (Eck) Comerford on my web site at:
