Hiram Deats was one of his students. He went on to NYU Medical School where he earned his Medical Degree in 1886. He moved to Franklin Township where he considered himself a "country doctor". He worked to form and grow the town, which is now known as Nutley Township in Essex County. He was dedicated to improving the quality of life in Nutley, assuming leadership positions at Vincent Methodist Church, Nutley Public Library, Nutley School Board, Parks Commission, Medical Societies, Health Commission, Nutley Memorial Parkway, and Social Clubs. Philhower Road in Tewksbury is named after Dr. Philhower.

He joined the American Red Cross donating blood, volunteering on the Board of Directors, and becoming Chairman of Building and Grounds. In 1985 he joined the Nutley Fire Department as Fire Inspector. His mechanical background from Lincoln Technical Institute, public speaking, financial training, love of people and the need to make the world a better, safer place were put to use. His many fire investigations led to creation of a Burn Avoidance educational program for preschoolers, a Dorm Fire Safety program for college bound seniors, Juvenile Fire Setter Intervention program, and Senior Citizen Fire Safety. He wrote monthly safety and preparedness articles for local papers, radio, and cable shows. Career memories and accumulated knowledge were published in his book "Fire in Our Lives".
