Mr. Webb died Sunday at 6:30 a.m. in St. Mary's hospital following an illness of two months. A native of Tennessee, he had lived in Port Arthur 25 years. He was a retired farmer.

------
Born in Ripley, Tenn., he was a babe in arms when Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox courthouse in April 1865. Mr. Webb can't recall the final days of the Civil War, but remembers traveling to Dardanelle, Ark., at the age of nine with his family. He farmed there until he reached 70 years of age, when he retired and came to Port Arthur to be near his son, William T. Webb.
Visitors to his home are told a favorite story, his horse named Buttons, which Webb used in courting his late wife, Mrs. Aseneth Webb.
