Portland Observer, 7 Apr 1886

Mrs. Derua Webster, widow of the late Ira Webster, died at the residence of her 
son, James M. Webster three miles north of this village, on Friday morning, 
April 2d, after a brief illness in the 87th year of her life.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Webster were among the earliest settlers of this township, coming here in 1837, 
from Monroe county, New York, and were prominently identified with its early 
history.  Mr. Webster died many years ago and Mrs. Webster continued a resident 
of this township with the exception of a brief interval, when the family 
visited California, up to the time of her death.  She was widely known and held 
a warm place in the hearts of all, especially those early settlers who 
gratefully remember her kindness and generosity in those trials and hardships 
incident to pioneer life  Her funeral took place from the family residence, on 
Sunday afternoon and was largely attended, Rev. D. P. Breed officiating.
