GEORGE WEBB, Physician and Surgeon, following four years of arduous war 
service for his native Russia, Dr. George Webb was one of the many thousands 
who escaped from that unhappy country when it was engulfed by the red tide of 
Bolshevism and came to Hawaii in May, 1919, via Vladivostok. He has since been 
engaged as superintendent of the hospital of the Pioneer Mill Co. at Lahaina, 
Maui.
  Son of English parents, Dr. Webb was born to Walter Edward and Alice (Otten) 
Webb at Petrograd, Russia, Dec. 22, 1887. He was educated at a Petrograd high 
school and the universities of Paris and Breslau. He was granted his medical 
degree in 1909.
  In 1916 Dr. Webb married Miss Alexandra Argusoff, also a physician and 
surgeon, and whose war experiences closely parallel those of her husband. Both 
Dr. Webb and his wife served in the Russian army on the Russo-German front 
during the World war, 1914-18, Dr. Webb as surgeon of the 311th Field Hospital 
and Mrs. Webb as surgeon of a Red Cross field ambulance unit.
  Swept eastward through Siberia from anarchy-stricken Russia in 1918, Dr. and 
Mrs. Webb reached Vladivostok, where for many months he gave his professional 
skill to the American Red Cross as a captain in its medical service. During 
this period he became closely associated with Riley H. Allen, editor of The 
Star-Bulletin, then a lieutenant colonel of the Red Cross, and Dr. W. D. 
Baldwin of Maui, chief of the Red Cross hospital at Vladivostok, a 
circumstance which largely influenced the Webbs to come to Hawaii. Dr. Webb is 
a member of the Medical Society of Hawaii.
