Philip was a target man on the railroad. A target is a small type of railroad switch, he apparently worked in the railroad yards at Monroeville. His obituary states that he spent twenty-five years with the New York Central Section as a foreman at the headquarters in Ohio and almost as many years as a watchman with the Wheeling and Lake Erie, New York Central and B. and O. Crossing.

The family was Catholic. Philip and Margaret lived in Monroeville where there was a Catholic parish, but belonged to St. Mary's Parish in Clyde, one county over. It may have been because St. Joseph's in Monroeville was a German parish and would have had sermons in German. St. Mary's was more Irish, Margaret's heritage, and probably had sermons in English.

Philip bought a house in Monroeville on Monroe Street on 29 Oct 1870 from Charles and Charlotte Meyer. His name is spelled Meyer in the deed. He paid $600 for the house, which was on part of outlet 25. This deed is in Vol. 24, pg. 276 of the deed records in Huron county. He owned this house until 21 June 1915, when he sold it to Henry G. and Dethia Stokes for $650. That deed was signed at Elyria, Ohio, and is in Vol. 88, pg. 53 of the Huron County Deed Records.

Philip died on December 31, 1915 in Elyria, Lorain County Ohio at the home of his daughter. He is buried at St. Mary's in Clyde along with his wife, Margaret and her parents.
