A host of friends were deeply grieved last Saturday when they learned that
at 10:45 a.m. thier life long friend and neighbor, Mrs. Albert Webb had
passed to the eternal home. she had apparently benn in her usualy health
until Tuesday when she was tkaen seriously ill and it became evident that
the end was not far away.

Mrs. Webb was born June 8, 1846, in Hoosic, New York, and was the daughter
of Orin and Sarah Kibbe. At the age of ten years she came with her parents
to Wisconsin and settled on a farm in Magnolia. Here on April 1, 1862, she
was united in marriage with Albert Webb. They removed to a farm four miles
west of Magnolia where they resided until fifteen years ago when they came
to Evansville. 

Mrs. Webb was a lovable character, ever delighting in doing acts of
neighborly kindness. She was tireless in her devotion to her home and its
inmates, and her greatest joy was in planning for their pleasure and
welfare.

The funeral services were held from the Methodist church Monday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock and was attended by a large number of friends from this
city and the surrounding country. The Rev. Chas. E. Coon spoke the words of
comfort to those surviving and Mr. Clifford Pearsall rendered two beautiful
solos. Numerous floral tributes showed the deep regret and respect that was
felt for Mrs. Webb in the community. Messrs. J. W. West, Ed Reese, John
Tullar, W. W. Howland, A. Graves and O. S. Shepard acted as pall bearers,
and the remains were tenderly laid at rest in Maple Hill cemetery.

Roland Morrison of Milwaukee, Mrs. Harvey Graves, Green Bay; Frank of
Sumner, Iowa and Arthur of this place; all of whom were at her bedside when
the transition took place. Her aged mother, Mrs. Sarah Kibbe of Albany, was

Drakesville, Iowa, Mrs. Fannie Rice of Elgin, Minn., Mrs. Geo. Lovelace of
Evansville, Millard Kibbe of Kansas, and Wm. Kibbe of Brodhead, Wis.,
