     WILL J. WEBB.  A prominent representative of the bar of Graves
county is Will J. Webb.  He was born on a farm in this county on the 17th
of April, 1866, being a son of Joseph G. and Mary J. (Dunbar) Webb, both
natives of Tennessee.  The father, who was born on the 4th of December,
1825, came to Graves county, Kentucky, in 1848, and for many years was a
minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian church.  The mother was born in
March, 1831, and was but three years of age when brought to this county
by her parents in 1834.  She is a daughter of James Dunbar, a farmer and
pioneer of Graves county, where his death occurred in 1878.  In the
family of Mr. and Mrs. Webb were ten children, seven of whom are still
living, and the parents still make their home in Graves county, residing
one mile north of Mayfield.
     Will J. Webb was reared to the life of a farmer boy and his literary
education was obtained in the schools of Mayfield.  Deciding to become a
member of the legal profession, he entered the law department of the
Cumberland University at Lebannon, Tennessee, and in 1886 was admitted to
the bar.  For two years, from 1889 to 1891, he served as the city
attorney, having been elected to that position on the Democratic ticket,
of which he is a stalwart supporter.  From the beginning of his career as
a legal practitioner his efforts have been attended with success, and so
strong are his arguments that his opponents find them difficult to
overthrow.
     In 1891 Mr. Webb was united in marriage to Miss Ida M. Burnett, of
Graves county, and their children are as follows: Lottie Simpson, Will
J., Jr., Mary Burnett and James T.  Mr. Webb is a member of the Masonic
fraternity, of the Knights of Pythias fraternity and of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks.  Both he and his wife are members of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church.
