Phebe was employed as School Teacher in Vergennes, Kent, Michigan, USA.

The woman's rights movement, as it is familiarly called, took organized form in this city April 1874. Upward of one hundred citizens, of both sexes, united in a call for a meeting to form a Woman Suffrage Association. It was held April 27, in Luce's Hall, and the "Grand Rapids Woman Suffrage Association" was then organized--S. L. Withey, President; Richmond Fisk, Jr., Recording Secretary; Harvey J. Hollister, Treasurer. Shortly afterwards a county society was formed, of which E.L. Briggs was President. The association has been kept up, and the advocacy of the policy of granting the right to vote to woman, has been steadily pushed by it ever since. It cannot properly be classed among the political parties in the sense of being composed of voters. It was active in procuring the passage of the law giving suffrage to women in school elections. It is now superseded or supplanted by the Equal Suffrage Association, whose officers are: President, Mrs. C. B. Hodges; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. Phobe Whitfield, Mrs. E. B. Ketcham; Recording Secretary, Mrs. I.E. Stone; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. M. E. Bedell.  Baxter 1891 Chapter XXII.
