Ionia Sentinel Standard, 3 Jan 1938

Word of the death of George W. Webber, jr., 45, of Long Island, N.Y., was
received early Sunday morning by Mrs. Ella Webber of Ionia.  Death came Sunday
following a serious illness of the past several months.  Mr. Webber was the son
of the George W. Webber, sr., and a half-brother of the late Maxwell H. Webber
of Ionia.

Mr. Webber was born in March, 1892.  After attending preparatory school in
Clinton, N.Y., he went to the Ionia high school for a year, where he was an
outstanding athlete on the football and track teams.  He enrolled in Olivet
college in 1909 and graduated in 1912.  His career in the lumber business and as
a founder of a floor-board factory in Ionia was terminated when he was among the
first to be drafted into service and sent to the officers’ training camp at
Battle Creek.  He was about to be sent overseas as a captain when the armistice
was declared.  After his discharge he was associated with a Michigan automobile
insurance company in Chicago and with other enterprises.  For the last three
years he has resided in New York city.

No definite plans for the funeral services were received by Mrs. Webber, but it
is expected that he will be buried at Long Island.
