PHINEAS F. BRESEE -- A LIFE SKETCH
By Aaron Merritt Hills
Sometimes he took his precious wife and the children with him. On one of these revival trips, when she was present at Lewis, Cass County, their darling Lily sickened and died, May 7, 1865, aged fifteen months. The people, mostly strangers, did what they could to comfort them, raising money to meet their needs, and one loving sister went with them and the little casket, eighty miles across the prairies to Des Moines for burial. His parents and sister were then living there.
