Hi jwgannon,

I understand that you'd like to recover some contacts that were deleted from your iPhone. I'd like to provide you with a resource that may help.

If you're using iCloud to sync your contacts, the information in the following article will be useful. Take a look at the first section titled "Restore your contacts".

iCloud: Restore your contacts, calendars and reminders, or bookmarks
If you don't use iCloud to sync contacts, let me know if you use a different mail account or if you store your contacts locally on your device. You can check by opening Settings > Accounts & Passwords. Take a look at each account you have set up to see if any have "Contacts" enabled for syncing.
Cheers.
