“In Memoriam”
"Annie J. Webber was born in Phelps County, Missouri, on her father’s farm near Rolla, June 16, 1848. During the Civil War she came to Saline County, Ill., to complete her education in the Raleigh schools, and there became acquainted with Jack Webber, who wooed her ardently, following her to her Missouri home, and brought her back to Illinois to become his bride. They were married at Eldorado, Illinois, March 20, 1876, by Rev. Hutchison.
To this union were born three children, John Henry, December 28, 1877, William J., February 8, 1880, who died in infancy; May Olive, September 18, 1885.
Her paternal grandfather, who was also the grandfather of her husband, A. J. Webber, was John M. Webber, the immigrant ancestor of the Webber family in America, who was born in Holland, on the banks of the Rhine, November 10, 1794. When twelve years old he came with his mother to the United States, and for several years lived in Philadelphia where he was educated. Going to Tennessee in 1823, he lived in Rutherford County, until 1830, when with his family, he came to Saline County, Illinois and purchased land near Galatia, where he improved the fine estate now known as the Webber Homestead. He was there prosperously employed tilling the soil until his death, in 1867. He married in Philadelphia, Elizabeth McQueen, who was born in Virginia in 1793, and died on the home farm in 1869, having survived him but two years.
John Webber was a small lad when he came to Saline County from Tennessee, growing to manhood on the old homestead, remaining with his parents until 19 years of age. September 17, 1840, he married Eliza J. Powell, who was born in Gallatin County, Illinois, January 22, 1824. In 1844 he moved to Phelps County, Missouri, and located adjoining the present site of Rolla, and here erected the first house in that settlement. His wife died in September, 1859, having born a family of ten children, of which Annie J. was the sixth child.
In the early part of 1882 she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she was a member at the time of her death. Her home has always been open to the ministers of her church, who have always found a welcome there. She was a loyal and ardent supporter of the church, one of her last deeds being the donor of the new basement under the church, also a new communion set.
For many years she was a teacher in the Sunday School, and was always loved by her pupils. She was president of the Ladies’ Aid until her health began to fail, about a year ago. Sister Webber lived a consistent Christian life, devoted to her home and church. She was a faithful and loving wife and mother.
During the past few months she has been confined near her home, on account of ill health. Her sudden going was a great shock to the whole community, who thought that she was in better health than she had been for some time. But she has often expressed her desire to go in this very way. Friday night about nine o’clock she was stricken with acute indigestion. Physicians were called in and about six A. M. Saturday, she awoke and talked to her son, Henry, about Christmas presents, and six-thirty, “she was not, for God took her.”
She leaves to mourn her departure one son, Henry Webber, of Galatia; one daughter, May Olive Burns, of Thompsonville, Illinois; four grandchildren, Ward, Margaret, and Eugene Webber, and Jackson Burns; three brothers and one sister, George E. Webber, of Willow Brook, California; A. J. Webber, of St. Louis, Missouri; A. F. Webber, Newburg, Missouri; Mattie Dunham, of Edgar Springs, Missouri.
Those who attended the funeral from a distance were W. ?. Webber and wife, and son, Gates, of St. Louis, Missouri; A. J. Webber, of St. Louis, and A. F. Webber, of Newburg, Missouri, and a host of other relatives and friends.
The funeral services were conducted in the Methodist Episcopal Church of Galatia, Illinois, in charge of Pastor B. H. Batson, assisted by Rev. J. W. McNeal, of Carbondale, Illinois, and Rev. J. E. Shaffer, of Pinckneyville, Illinois, both former pastors.
The interment was made in the Webber Camp Ground."
