== [[John M. Phillips]] 1861-1953 ==<br />
<br />
[[John M. Phillips]] lived in Carrick all his life. He was a conservationist, industrialist and engineer and he was among the first to introduce Boy Scouting in Pennsylvania. His home, located at this site, was a distribution point for thousands of tree seedlings and bird houses to the children in our neighborhood. He also was the creator of the State Game Lands which was a model for the nation. He was instrumental in the preservation of Phillips Park, named after him, and in the formation of Carrick as a Borough. Phillips Elementary School, on the South Side, is named after him and his wife Harriet Duff Phillips.<br />
