Obituary of The Reverend John Webb who was buried at Woodland in 1896 and other biographical materials.
"Webb. --Rev. John Webb was born in Wayne county, Indiana, May 15, 1825. In 1846 he was licensed to exhort by Robert Burns of Williamsburg circuit, Indiana. The following year he was licensed to preach. In 1851 he moved to Fayette county, Iowa. In 1853 he joined Iowa conference, which then embraced the whole state. In 1862 he was elected chaplain of the Thirty-eighth Iowa Infantry. In 1870 he joined Northwest Iowa conference; shortly after he was appointed presiding elder of North Dakota district. In 1876 his wife died in Sibley. He afterwards married Mrs. Augusta D. Bellows. From Dakota, in 1879, he was
transferred to Kansas conference, and for a time was connected with the 'Kansas Methodist'. In 1882 he came to Des Moines, which was afterward his home. In 1888 he became the agent of the 'Inland Advocate'. He gave the greater part of his life to the work of the ministry, and the fruits of his labors can only be known when the final records are read. His quiet and unassuming manner, combined with his Christian character, as well as teachings, led many to adopt a better life and won for him the high regard of all with whom he came in contact, and he kept it by worthy and conscientious deserving. He died at his daughter's in Salt Lake City, March 28, 1896, where he had gone in search of health. He was a godly man in the fullest sense of the word. His influence for good was great and his name will be handed down by many in this city as a benefactor. He was a good man and he has gone to his reward. He leaves a wife and two children. The funeral was conducted in Des Moines, at which his pastor and several other ministers spoke."
[This obituary was provided by Mrs. Esther Wonderlich, Archivist, Iowa Methodist Conference Archives.]
The 1852 Iowa State Census was checked. The John Webb family was living in Fayette County. They had three males, two females, one voter, with five total persons.
The Iowa War of Rebellion roster was checked. John Webb was 37 years, a native of Indiana, Appt. Chaplain September 23, 1862. Mustered in November 4, 1862, into the 38th Infantry. Resigned July 23, 1863. [p. 844 of muster roll.]
The Osceola County history not only mentions The Reverend John Webb and his family many times, but also has a lithograph of the pastor. [History of Osceola County, Iowa: From Its Organization to the Present Time. Historical Department of Iowa, by D. A. W. Perkins. 1892: Brown A Saenger, Printers and Binders, Sioux Falls, So. Dak.]
The Des Moines City Directories from 1889-1895 show The Reverend John Webb as the corresponding editor for the "Inland Christian Advocate" with his residence at 1047 West Sixth Street. The 1896 directory shows his death to be March 28, 1896. His widow, Augusta G Webb was living at 1047 6th Avenue.
The Reverend John Webb was buried at Woodland Cemetery. The gravestone for The Reverend John Webb needs some repair. The base needs to be repositioned and reset as well as the obelisk. The obelisk is now lying on the ground. Professionals will be needed to do these repairs.
A volunteer donated the funds to repair and reset the Obelisk of The Rev. John Webb. Now the Obelisk is standing tall again.

VERY NICE MEMORIAL, But...
When time passes, the lines/facts can become smudged... FYI - 1856 Iowa Census for Farmersburg, Clayton, Iowa creates a few quandaries.
Real age/birth yr of Lucy ('56-17y;'60-15y;'70-24y) WAS SHE a "Child-Bride" and not a daughter?? WAS SHE the actual mother of John Ames Webb, not sister?? NOBODY has info on husband "Mr. Wright", was it because it was ALL WRONG?? When the Rev. remarried, did this cause the facts to be buried?? Anyway, the 1852 tick mark Census is probably not associated to this individual. THINGS make you go - HMMMM!
