Webb. --Rev. John Webb was born in Wayne county, Indiana, May 15, 1825. In 1846 he was licensed to exhort by Robert Burns of Williamsburg circuit, Indiana. The following year he was licensed to preach. In 1851 he moved to Fayette county, Iowa. In 1853 he joined Iowa conference, which then embraced the whole state. In 1862 he was elected chaplain of the Thirty-eighth Iowa Infantry. In 1870 he joined Northwest Iowa conference; shortly after he was appointed presiding elder of North Dakota district. In 1876 his wife died in Sibley. He afterwards married Mrs. Augusta D. Bellows. From Dakota, in 1879, he was transferred to Kansas conference, and for a time was connected with the 'Kansas Methodist'. In 1882 he came to Des Moines, which was afterward his home. In 1888 he became the agent of the 'Inland Advocate'. He gave the greater part of his life to the work of the ministry, and the fruits of his labors can only be known when the final records are read. His quiet and unassuming manner, combined with his Christian character, as well as teachings, led many to adopt a better life and won for him the high regard of all with whom he came in contact, and he kept it by worthy and conscientious deserving. He died at his daughter's in Salt Lake City, March 28, 1896, where he had gone in search of health. He was a godly man in the fullest sense of the word. His influence for good was great and his name will be handed down by many in this city as a benefactor. He was a good man and he has gone to his reward. He leaves a wife and two children. The funeral was conducted in Des Moines, at which his pastor and several other ministers spoke.
