Thank-you for your efforts. The same name, However my Great Grandfather Chester Phillips died Feb 20, 1950. Buried Lakeside Wakefield Mass. I never had the opportunity to meet this wonderful man, I met his Wife, my Great Grandmother, Carrie May Phillips (Dickerson). To think I have a painting on my wall, his last painting dated 1949. What a gift....he has other paintings out and about, I'm searching, I have 2 at this time. He had a frame shop in Boston Mass 1900's. Anything you can add would be much appreciated. Cathy
