Tuesday, Feb 8, 1898, Mrs Douglas Webb, aged 71 years, 8 months, and 17 days. In the spring of 1844 Mr. and Mrs. Webb removed form their native state to Wisconsin. They located in Waukesha County where they remained one year. In May 1845 they settled upon a farm in the northwest part of the township of Lowell, Dodge County. This was their home until 1884 when the farm was sold and they came to this city where they have since resided. Mrs Webb was an earnest, conscientous woman who exerted an influence for good upon all with whom she associated. She knew the hardships of pioneer life in Wisconsin and struggled the most of her life with poor health, but was always deeply interested in the welfare of her neighbors and the good of society. Her sympathies were especially enlisted in religious and temperance work, and their kindred interests. Her parents dying while she was quite young she was brought up by devoted grand parents by the name of Curtiss. From her grand father's life and teachings she received moral and religious impressions that continued with her during all the years of her life. She was always fond of dwelling upon his words and example. During the last fourteen years of her life was connected with the Free Methodist church of this city. She leaves her husband, five children and a number of grand children to mourn her lost. Her first child died in infancy while the parents were visiting in the state of New York. The living children are Mrs. Mattie M. Taylor of this city, Chas. C. Webb, of Fox Lake, Rev. Lynn B. Webb, of Evansille and Mrs Minnie M. Hughes and Willard H. Webb of Beaver Dam. Mrs. Webb endured much physical suffering for several years from combination of diseases. Comsumption of the bowels is supposed to have caused her death."
