      from Morning Republican, 10 Nov 1870
      "Death of Naphtali Phillips -- The funeral of the late Naphtali Phillips took place this morning at the synagogue in West Nineteenth street, near Fifth avenue. It was largely attended. While living Mr. Phillips was universally respected. He was the oldest Israelite in the United States.

      He was born in the city, October 14, 1772, and received a thorough business education. He engaged in mercantile employments, and in 1812 entered the army, rendering efficient service. He was afterward appointed to a place in the Custom House which he held almost forty years. He was also the publisher of the Evening Star, edited by Major Noah, for several years. He was serious religionist, of the orthordox [sic] persuasion, and sustained his profession with much persistency. --Ex." [6, 8]
