Abner J. Webster

The apparently sudden demise of Mr. Abner J. Webster seemed one of those 
mysterious works of Providence.

But, he passed away after much suffering in silence and solitude.  Only his 
nearest and best knew the paint that oft times racked his physical being, and 
the struggles to meet day by day, the duties that confronted him.

Human life should not be measured by the strength and fortitude put forth to 
overcome life’s battles.

Mr. Webster was born in Taylor County, where he lived for a number of years.  
His father died in his early childhood, and then he began to face the future.  
He moved to Talbot County in his young manhood.  He was twice married and 
reared family of noble sons and daughters.

Some years ago he came to Talbotton, and it seemed that indeed the keys of the 
town were surrendered to his keeping.  Almost in scriptural language one might 
say “He watching over Talbotton neither slumbered nor slept.”

Kindliness of manner, simplicity of speech, sympathy of feeling were dominant 
notes of his character.  He was a devoted father, and it was the chief delight 
of his heart to gratify the desires of his children.

His remains were carried to North Talbot.  Gratefully will the people remember 
his honest, useful and gentle life.
