John Webber
On Jan 15th last, Mr. John Webber at the age of 69 years, passed away to his
long home. Mr. Webber was a victim of dropsy and that he was a great sufferer is
confirmed by his words on the night he died, when he prayed "O Heavenly
Father! Take me out of this misery."
The deceased was born in Honiton Devonsire County, England, April 1st. 1825. He
came to this country
in 1857 and settled in Albany N.Y. where, on Aug. 19th of the same year he was
married in St. Peters Episcopal Church to Georganna J. Potts. He left Albany in
1860 and came to Yaphank where he spent the remaining thirty -four years of his
life.
"Uncle John" was a man of sterling integrity; careful, and honet in
his dealings, attentive to his labors, liberal with his neighbor and one who
flet that there was a strong distinction between right and wrong. By his economy
and frugality he had accumulated a comfortable home with a sufficient surplus to
make him independent for more than mans allotted term of years, but the death
messenger chooses who he will.
:"Uncle John" will be greatly missed by family, friends and neighbors.
A devoted wife, eight children and one brother survive him.
