JONATHAN WARNER WEBB, M. D. While he was a teacher
for several years Doctor Webb had his ambitions set on a
medical career, and he graduated qualified for the work
of that profession seventeen years ago, and is one of the
accomplished physicians and surgeons of Harrison County.
His home is at Salem.

He was born in Calhoun County, West Virginia, August
6, 1877, son of Nutter and Margaret (Depew) Webb, now
living retired at Parkersburg. His paternal grandfather
was William Webb and his maternal grandfather, Jona-
than Depew, also natives of West Virginia. The Webbs
were a strong Union family at the time of the Civil war,
and two brothers of Nutter Webb gave up their lives while
serving as soldiers. Nutter Webb was a merchant for
several years and then engaged in farming. His home was
in Calhoun County for forty years or more, after which he
retired from the farm, locating at Parkersburg, where he
still maintains his home. He has been a stanch republi-
can, and he and his wife for many years have been affiliated
with the Baptist Church.

Jonathan Warner Webb was one of nine children, and
he grew up in Calhoun County, attending public and nor-
mal schools there. He taught school for three years, and
then entered upon the study of medicine, attending the
University of Maryland at Baltimore, where he graduated
in 1905. Doctor Webb practiced for two years at Big
Bend in Calhoun County, and then came to Harrison County,
being located at Sardis until 1919, since this year his home
and office have been in Salem.

Doctor Webb has taken four post-graduate courses in
the Chicago Polyclinic. He is a member of the Harrison
County and West Virginia Medical Societies.

Doctor Webb is a republican, a member of the Baptist
Church and a Master Mason. In 1901 he married Miss
Eliza A. Kidwell, and they are the parents of three sons.
