Webb K. Jennings was born in Alabama, October 21, 1828, and died December
7, 1899. He had been a member of the M. E. Church at Forest Academy for a
number of years. He volunteered in Louisiana in 1862, and a truer and
braver soldier never fought out battles. In the Spring, about the close
of the war, he lost his arm. He then came home and had to make a living
with one arm for his wife and little children. This year, since our state
saw fit to pension her disabled soldiers, he made application with all
the necessary proofs and was denied the small pittance because he owned a
few acres of poor sandy land. He leaves a devoted wife and eight
children. Wrote by his cousin, Mary A. Posey. (A Loose obit in files)
