Western Carolinian Oct 21, 1823
Western Carolinian Oct 21, 1823 (Salisbury, North Carolina)
We are informed by a correspondent in Lincolnton, that the
Hon. Henry Y. Webb, one of the Judges of the Superior 
Court of Alabama died in that State on the 20th of Sept. last.--
Judge Webb was a resident of Lincoln county, in this State, 
a number of years previous to his removal to Alabama, and
was always esteemed a very useful citizen, an amiable man,
and correct lawyer. A friend in Lincolnton sent us, last week,
a neat obituary notice of Judge Webb, which we are
obliged to defer till next week, for want of room.

Western Carolinian Oct 28, 1823 (Salisbury, North Carolina)
DIED
At his residence in Henry county, Alabama, on Saturday, the
20th Sept. last, the Hon. Henry Y. Webb, one of the Judges
of the Superior Courts in that State, after a lingering illness
of sixteen days.
He was holding court at Erie, when first attacked by the
billious fever; he set off, as soon as possible, for home, 
and arrived at his residence the second day of his 
indisposition; where he was confined to that bed from
whence he rose no more. He has left a very affectionate
wife and five small children to mourn with many 
relations and friends their irreparable loss. To write
a lengthy eulogy is unnecessary, as all who knew him,
knew him but to love and respect him.
He was long a practitioner at the bar of this district,
and was one of the first appointed to fill the judicial
chair in the State of Alabama. He possessed the esteem
and friendship of all who knew him, he was a fond and
loving husband, a tender and indulgent parent, and
obliging neighbor, and an honorable man. He died
with the full assurance of heaven, and with the hope
of arriving at the happy land "where the wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are at rest." His last
wishes were, that his children should be taught
to love the Lord, and "remember their creator in 
the days of their youth." (Communicated)
Lincolnton, N. C. Oct 13, 1823
