If so what page? No Biographical Text First Lieutenant Ralph McCullough Phinney was born in Tennessee in 1895. He would grow up there before traveling to Blacksburg Virginia to enroll in VPI. After just three years he graduated and was sent to France as a Second Lieutenant in the US Army Signal Corps, hoping to gain some knowledge that he could use in the private industry later in life. Upon returning to his native Tennessee in 1919 he did exactly that, and ran an electrical company for almost sixty years. After retiring he devoted the remainder of his life to preserving and protecting the legacy of President Andrew Johnson, and his efforts ultimately resulted in the erection of a statue and small museum. He attended a VPI reunion in 1986, and was the oldest alumni in attendance. He passed away peacefully in 1998 surrounded by friends and his funeral was heavily attended. Bibliography Ancestry®.
