The following obit appeared in the Lowell newspaper: WEBB - At
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Minnie Doubleday, at Lake Mills,
Saturday, February 15, 1913. Mr. Charles Douglas Webb, of
pneumonia, aged 88 years, 5 months and 4 days.
The deceased was born at Pompy, Onadagua County, New York,
September 11, 1824, and was united in marriage to Miss Laura B. Berry
at Hastings, October 16, 1843, and the following year they came to
Wisconsin and settled on a farm in the town of Lowell, where about
forty years of his eventful life was spent. About the year 1883(?) they
came to Beaver Dam to make their home, Mrs Webb passing away here
on February 14th, 1898, after which Mr. Webb spent the greater part
of the remainder of his life at Lake Mills with his daughter.
Six children were born to them of whom three preceded their
parents to a better world. They were Ellen, who died in infancy;
Charles C. and Martha, both of whom grew to manhood and womanhood
and their children and their children's children are among those who
mourn. The three living children are: Rev. Lynn B. Webb of Hermon
(?), California; Minnie B. Doubleday of Lake Mills and William Webb of
this city. Besides these, fifteen grandchildren and six great
grandchildren survive.
The remains were brought to this city at 10:17 Tuesday morning,
and taken to the Free Methodist church where the funeral services were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. E. N. Hawley. Interment was in
Oakwood Cemetery beside his wife.
We (Dave and Mary) visited the gravesite.
Douglas Webb bought a farm in Lowell, Wisconsin, in 1844.
His father died in approximately 1833. There is a very informative bio
written in part by Charles Douglas Webb's grandson Neal Doubleday.
Dave and Mary searched National Archives in Washington, D.C.
on 8/2/89. There was no record of Charles Webb serving in the Civil
War (Wisconsin Union). However, there was a Charles Webb that enlisted in
Company H, 3rd Cavalry, Clinton County, New York in December of 1863. We have
yet to prove or disprove this was our Charles Webb.
