Henry Webber was born at Bandchester, Ohio on November 24, 1845 and passed away at his home in Yates City, Illinois, at 6:45 a. m. Sunday, May 4, 1924, being at the time of his death 78 years, 5 months and 10 days old.
Most of his life has been spent in the Jubilee township in Peoria county, then near Monica, Brimfield and of the late years near Yates City. He had been very successful in his chosen line of work and although retired from the farm a few years ago, he never lost interest in the farm and its problems.
He was united in marriage to Susan C. Shane on February 8, 1870, at Brimfield. To this union were born six children, three boys and three girls. One of the boys passed away when he was but seventeen years of age. His surviving children are Orville D., Mervin C., Edith B., Mrs. Frona J. Schaad of Bradford and Mrs. Nellie L. McKown of Elmwood.
He had been in failing health for several months but until very recently did his loved ones realize his condition was so serious. Being a man of great activity and excellent health all of his life, he would not give up until the very last.
Besides his wife, who will miss her life long companion more keenly than any other, he is survived by his children and grandchildren, four brothers and three sisters.
He was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church near Monica in 1872 and has been a very faithful and loyal Christian ever since. After moving to Yates City he transferred his membership to that place and has been a most faithful member of that church. The church has always held a large place in his estimation and esteem and he has tried to help along her ideals in every way he could.
Funeral service were held in the Methodist church, conducted by C. W. Leonard. Burial was made in the Yates City cemetery, on Wednesday afternoon May 7th.
