"WEBB, OWNER OF 76 RANCH, DEAD
Willcox, Arizona, Dec. 21 (AP)
Col. W. T. Webb, owner of the 76 Ranch and Cattle Company, near here, [Willcox] died at a hospital in Los Angeles Dec. 20, friends were informed.
He was one of Arizona's pioneer cattlemen and had been identified with that business for about half a century.
The 76 Ranch, one of the most extensive in Southern Arizona, has long been one of the most famous in the state. In recent years it has been operated in part as a guest ranch.
Webb, born in 1864 in Salt Lake City, Utah, was educated in the public schools and at the University of Utah. Coming to Arizona in 1881, he located at Tombstone, moving to Graham County a year later to engage in business with his father, Gilbert Webb.
In 1887 he turned his attention to the stock business, and although other interests were added later, he continued to be identified with cattle raising until his death. He was interested in business activities in Graham County, having been a director of the Bank of Safford.
Webb took a prominent part in Democratic politics and was one of the first presidential electors from Arizona. He represented Graham County three times in the territorial legislature, serving as speaker of the house one term. He was twice mayor of Pima. He served in the Arizona constitutional convention.
In 1887 he was married to Miss Sarah Burns. He is survived by his second wife, Claire N. Webb, who he married 20 years ago."
