William M. Webb

Davis resident William M. Webb, M.D., died peacefully on June 22, 2002, at the
home of his son. He was 90.

He was born on Aug. 23, 1911, in Lawrence, Ind.

He graduated from Indiana University with a bachelor's degree in 1936 and from
Indiana University School of Medicine in 1940. After finishing medical school,
he joined the U.S. Army and completed an internship at Fort Sam Houston in San
Antonio, Texas.

During World War II, he served with the Medical Corps in the China-Burma-India
theater, spending many months in the jungles with the medical group of Dr.
Gordon Seagrave.

Following the war, he married Dorothy Dietz and had one son. He completed
further medical training at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Denver, Colo., and
Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, becoming board-certified in internal medicine
and gastoenterology.

In 1952, he served as chief of gastroenterology at Letterman Army Hospital in
San Francisco. In 1954, he resigned from active military duty and joined the
Army Reserve, from which he retired as a colonel in 1971 to pursue a private
practice in Millbrae.

While in practice, he served as chief of medicine at Peninsula Hospital in
Millbrae and was an associate and assistant clinical professor of medicine at
Stanford. He also consulted for the Veterans Administration for the Western area.

Among many other professional memberships, he was a lifetime member of the
American Medical Association and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.

He returned to Indianapolis, Ind., in 1971 to be the director of the Medical
Department at the Naval Avionics Research and Development Facility. He retired
from the position in 1976. In 1980, he married for the second time, this time
his former high school sweetheart, Maxine McGaughey. The couple moved Lakewood,
Colo., where he was active with Civil War roundtables.

After the death of his second wife, he moved in with his son, Dr. David M. Webb
of Davis, who took care of him when his health deteriorated.

In addition to his son, he is survived by his daughter-in-law, Susan Webb of
Fort Worth, Texas; two grandsons, Scott and Nathan Webb also of Fort Worth; and
cousin, Meezie Stacey of Montrose, Colo.
