He is the only son from the 1857 census who is not accounted for in the 1897 census. He is likely the husband of widow Elisabeth Asmus, and her daughter Lydia. Lydia was only 4 years old in 1897, therefore Philipp must have died between 1892 and 1897. After his death, his wife and daughter continued living with his brothers in household #695, as noted in the 1897 Grimm census. See the green text in the entry below.
