Norfolk Virginian Pilot February 1, 1939

               FALL ON STAIRS PROVES FATAL to ELDERLY MAN

     Richard Webb, Sr., Aged 67, of Portsmouth, Victim of Berkley Accident

Richard Webb, Sr., 67, of 406 Queen Street, Portsmouth, was fatally injured 
last night in a 15-foot fall down a flight of stairs at the residence of his 
cousin, George Webb, of 826 Camp Street, Berkley, who he had been visiting 
during the day.
Taken to the Norfolk General Hospital in the police ambulance, he was 
pronounced dead upon arrival.  Dr. C.D.J. MacDonald, city coroner, examined 
the body and said death was caused by a fractured skull.
The accident, it was learned, occurred about 7:30 o'clock as Mr. Webb was 
preparing to return to his home in Portsmouth.  Friends there said he was in 
apparently good health when he left for Norfolk early yesterday morning.
Detective Leon Nowitzky, who made the police investigation, announced that 
the death was due to accidental causes and that no inquest will be 
necessary.
Mr. Webb resided with a daughter, Mrs. B.O. Montague, and is otherwise 
survived by another daughter, Mrs. R.J. Burton, of Portsmouth; one son, 
James Richard Webb, Jr., of Norfolk; a brother, Severn Webb, of Ocean View; 
six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
The body was removed to the Snellings Funeral Home in Portsmouth pending 
funeral arrangements.
