Dr. Webb opened an office in Crowley, where he has been in practice for a greater number of years than any other resident physician. He is president of the Acadia parish board of health; was during 4 years a member of the city council, and from 1908 to 1912, was parish coroner. In every public office Dr. Webb has won the approbation and the confidence of the people. Since his taking charge of the hygienic and sanitary situation in Acadia, he has brought about many excellent improvements in harmony with the scientific methods of the age. In fraternal circles he is an Elk, and in politics a democrat. The marriage of Dr. Webb and Miss Leona Lyons, a daughter of Dr. R.L. Lyons, of Crowley, took place in 1891. Three children were the fruit of their union: Wava, born in 1893; Onida, in 1900, and Hirchael, in 1909.
