Mrs. Lucy Webb-Abel, 65, one of Spur´s most beloved citizens and for many years active in the city´s business and church world, passed away at the home of her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. F. Williams, Tuesday, January 10, 1939, pneumonia having been pronounced as the cause of her death by attending physician.
Lucy Webb was born on the 11 of November, 1873, in Sedalia, Missouri. At the early age of four weeks she was brought by her parents to Texas, they having settled at Collinsville, in Grayson County.
In 1892, as a young lady of 19 years, she moved to Turnerville to make her home with her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. James F. Williams, and there Miss Webb worked in Mr. Williams´ drug store until, 1912 when the Williams family moved to Spur.
On establishment of his drug store in Spur, Miss Webb continued with Mr. Williams in the capacity of premier aide, and only resigned her position with her brother-in-law at her marriage in 1925 to Joe Abel. Following her marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Abel moved to Gatesville, where they resided until his death in 1929, she returning to Spur to again make her home with Mr. and Mrs. Williams.
Upon mention of her name, the story of a beautiful and useful life may be had from any acquaintance of Mrs. Abel. Friendships were sacred to her; life was real, void of inflation and vanities, and her vision grasped faithfully at the better qualities of humanity.
