Obituary - Webb -
God had only to speak the word and this grand world sprang into existence with all its life. Man was a part of this world. The Psalmist said that God's thoughts toward us are many and precious; that he is ever mindful of us and watches over us when we lie down and when we rise up.
But on the evening of August 15 1899, one who was accustomed to rise up arose not. God had vistited him and called him home.
We speak of William Webb of Koleen, Indiana.
Born in Lawrence county, Indiana, Dec. 17 1822 and died at his home Aug. 15, 1899, aged 76 year, 7 months and 28 days.
He was first united in marriage to Drucilla Knuckles, who died April 3, 1863.
To this union was born nine children - seven sons and two daughters. One son, Martin and one daughter, Nancy, have also gone to the spirit world. One son Thomas Webb and one daughter Emily Sipes live in Martin county near their old home. Three sons, John, James and David, live in Indianapolis, and one son, Grant, at Martinsville, Ill.; Horace, near Springville, Ind.
Father Web was again united in marriage Feb. 14, 1884, to Ursula E. Edington, widow of Thomas Edington; her maiden name was Moore. She still survives him and is in her 66th year.
Father Webb was a man of noble character, so patient in trial and sickness, so just and generous to all his friends, so unselfish, so quiet and considerate that one seldom sees a character so evenly fashoned.
He was a true, faithful and kind husband and father. One of the pure traits of his character was a strong sense of right and a tender sympathy for the suffering and the poor. Too high an estimate cannot be place upon the life of such a man.
Yet at a ripe old age, surrounded by nearly all of his children and a number of friends, he obeyed the Master's summons from labor to reward, and suddenly the golden bowl is broken and the pitcher lies broken at the fountain and the sacred ties of the family circle are severed once more.
And now kind and devoted husband, indulgent and christain father, farewell, sacred be thy memory and sweet and peaceful be thy slumber. - E. W. Edingon
