CALEB WEBB. One of the highly respected citizens of the last century in Battle Creek was the late Caleb Webb, who had been a resident for nearly half a century. Mr. Webb died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George S. Barnes, on March 16, 1899, in the sixty-ninth year of his life. Of English birth and ancestry, he was born in Sibford, Oxfordshire, February 26, 1830, and was reared and attained his majority in the old country. Emigrating to America in 1853, he located in the town of Battle Creek the same year. In England he had acquired a thorough knowledge of gardening, and this was his principal business during the active years of his residence at Battle Creek. For a number of years he was also the janitor for the St. Thomas Episcopal church, and later was sexton of Oak Hill cemetery. A quiet, unassuming man, without being conspicuous in business affairs, he was neverthless one of the honored citizens and discharged his responsibilities in a manner deserving of the respect of his own and subsequent generations. His last resting place is in the Hicks cemetery in Pennfield. Mr. Webb left a family of seven children, three sons and four daughters, namely: Fred H. (see sketch elsewhere) Earnest D., Horace A., Mrs. E. D. Sutton, Mrs. M. S. Hicks, Mrs. George S. Barnes, and Mrs. J. 0. Barden.
