Edward Webster married Isabel Benston on June 8, 1879, and they had two children: Clarence and Amy Webster. On March 22, 1893, Edward married Alice Louise Gribling, and they had eight children.
Clarence Webster was born on October 9, 1883, in Benston, Pierce County, Washington (now known as Graham). His mother, Isabel, was born in about 1862 and died on August 15, 1890. I have not been able to find out where Isabel was buried yet, but her parents were William Benston Sr. (about 1832 - 1900) and Sarah Davis (1840 - 1928).
Clarence attended Pacific Lutheran Academy, which is now Pacific Lutheran University. He was on the basketball team in 1905. He is listed in the 1904–1905 (Eleventh Annual of the Pacific Lutheran Academy in Parkland, Washington) as well as in 1906–1907.
He can be found on the 1911 Quinault Tribe Indian Census Rolls, on his mother’s side of the family.
Clarence never married.
Clarence died on June 19, 1911, at the age of 27. There are several family versions of how Clarence died. He worked as a butcher in his father’s meat market in Kapowsin, Washington. In an interview I did with his half-brother, William Earl Webster (AKA Earl), Clarence would ride his horse bareback to and from the meat market. When Clarence got through work one day, he put the butcher knife in his sweater pocket or by his belt. There was an accident getting off the horse, and the knife punctured him. He went to the hospital and later died of blood poisoning. Earl remembered the funeral with the casket coming down the street in Kapowsin.
Another family variation is that an animal scared his horse, and it reared up.
Clarence is buried at Bethany Lutheran Cemetery in Spanaway, Washington.
