After their marriage the Webbs left Indiana for Iowa, and lived on a farm on the Earlham road for years. Of late, Mrs. Webb has been a resident of Winterset, recently going to her daughter's home on account of failing health and strength.

Funeral services were conducted in the Winterset Methodist church this morning at 11 o'clock, by Rev. Louis Watson of Earlham. Burial in Winterset cemetery followed.

Transcriber's note: Transcribed as published, the deceased's name has been verified in the Madison County probate records. There is no evidence that she was ever called "Nancy" and it is believed that the newspaper got her confused with someone else. Her maiden name is "Carey" per her father's gravestone.
