Again God in his infinite mercy has seen fit cause and chosen one of the dear and noted number of our community and which has cast a shadow over every heart, but we are reconciled by the knowledge that “God knows best.”
Dr. W. P. Webb contracted a severe cold which ended in pneumonia and he departed this life Friday, Feb. 4, 1898, at the age of 44 years. He was a friend to everybody and especially to the poor. There was no day too bad or home too shabby that when he was called he was not willing to go. As a physician he was known to all the country around. In his life he received several diplomas from medical colleges. He always had a word of joy for his patients, an expression of encouragement for his friends and a deep sympathy for the poor. His joyful disposition and services will be missed by all. He leaves a loving wife, an aged mother, four sisters and a host of friends to mourn his loss. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. M. Williams at the home Sunday afternoon. The body was taken to Camden, O., for burial near his old home. - thanks so very much to S - for all her amazing work

Last Friday at Yountsville Dr. W. P. Webb, aged 44 years, died of pneumonia. He had been sick only a few days and his death was quite a surprise to his friends. The funeral occurred Sunday afternoon at Yountsville and on Monday the body was shipped to Camden, O., for interment. Dr. Webb had resided in Yountsville for a few years only, but had established quite a reputation as a learned and skillful physician. He was, indeed, a man of many brilliant parts, but had a weakness which prevented his rise to the station in life to which his genius entitled him. He leaves a wife and mother, who were with him at the time of his death. - thanks so very much to S - for all her amazing work
