Webster died at his home in the northern part of Talbot County at an early hour on last Saturday morning. About a week before his death, Mr. Webster was stricken with a stroke of paralysis on his left side and from the very first, his family entertained but a slight hope for his recovery. Mr. Webster was one of the best-known men in Talbot County, one of its very best citizens. He had been a resident for many years and was always active in any movement to promote its growth. He was a citizen of sterling worth, a man of wide influence which he always exercised for good. At the time of his death he was one of the oldest citizens of the county, being about seventy-five years of age. He was a member of the Baptist church and very prominent in all church work. Mr. Webster had not been in the best health this year and he spent most of the summer at Lithia Springs. He came home about three weeks or a month ago and seemed better and greatly improved in health. He was in Talbotton the week before he was taken sick and called in and spent some time at the New Era office. The funeral occurred at the cemetery at Evans Chapel in the Valley on Sunday afternoon and was largely attended, people from all parts of the county being present, a testimonial of the high esteem in which he was held. He is survived by his wife, who is a sister of Mr. L.P. Freeman, also by Mr. Webster, a nephew, who lived with him. The Talbotton New Era Thursday, September 7, 1905 Page 7 Card of Thanks Mrs. S.Z.
