Milas Webb did at his home 931 Thirteenth street, Thursday night at 11:30 after a long illness, death resulting from arterio schlerosis. He was over 75 years of age. He was born in Indiana Nov. 13, 1838 and came to Marion when 13 years of age with his parents, John and Elizabeth Webb. He was the next to the oldest of twelve children. He was married to Sophia Bunting March 28, 1865, and moved to a farm near Center Point he lived for thirty years. One child, Frank Webb, was born to him and his wife, and he survives the parents. After residing near Center Point so long, Mr. Webb moved to a farm near Marion where he lived five years, after which he moved into Marion and has since made his home in town. He was a pioneer in this section of the state having lived in Linn county sixty-three years. He joined the Christian church and remained a faithful adherent thereto to the end.
Mr. Webb was stricken with apoplexy last September but rallied from the effects of it. However, his system could not bear up and three weeks ago he was taken to St. Luke's hospital where it was thought that better care might improve his health. He continued to grow weaker and a week ago was brought home. For the past four days he remained unconscious, and the end came peacefully.
Of the eleven brothers and sisters, only two brothers and three sisters, John, Charles, Florence, Anna and Mandy Webb Oxley of Liberty, Mo., who was present when her brother passed away, survive.
The funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the family residence, 931 Thirteenth street. Rev. Wilson of the Baptist church will conduct the services and the interment will be in Oak Shade cemetery.
