                    FORMER PATROLMAN WEBB DIED YESTERDAY

      Left Department About Year Ago Owing To Injuries Sustained in Raid

William T. Webb, former patrolman of the Norfolk Police Department, died 
Saturday morning at 11:40 o'clock at his home, 1217 Highland Avenue, at the age 
of 53 years. While a patrolman on the police force, he was injured about the 
head during a raid in Berkley more than a year ago and he never fully recovered 
from the effects of the blow on the head with a club.
Mr. Webb resigned from the police force and was working at Bush Bluff, when he 
was taken suddenly ill and died Saturday morning. During his career as policeman 
he was brave and fearless and won the admiration of the department for his 
courage. He was widely acquainted in Norfolk and had a host of friends here.
He is survived by his wife and one son, Hillary W. Webb. He was a member of the 
Norfolk Aerie of Eagles. The funeral will be held at St. Mary's Catholic Church 
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Burial will be in St. Mary's Cemetery.
