this place:
"On Tuesday morning Mr.. William
Webb, a gentleman we'll known and
highly esteemed in commercial circles,
passed quietly away at his residence,
Edward street, Norwood, after an ILL
ness which had been patiently endured
for IL months. Mr.. Webb arrived in
Adelaide "a years ago, being then a
hoy of 10. He was subsequently ap-
prenticed as a printer, and was for
some time manager Of the Topographic
cal department of the Telegraph, "
which eventually was Incorporated
with the Express. He was for some
years one of the overseers of 1.-THE Ad-
vertiser" printing department, and
when in 1872 he withdrew from that
position to join Messrs. Vardon and
Prltchard IN the Inauguration OF new
firm, the members of the staff showed
their appreciation of his sterling quail
ties by presenting him with an illumi-
mated address. About II years ago
the firm was dissolved, and Mr.. Webb,
in conjunction with one of his sons,
started the present business of Webb
and Son, from which he retired three
years later. For 40 years he had re-
sided at Norwood, and although of a
very retiring disposition he made many
personal friends. He was one of the
directors of the East-End Market Com
pany. He leaves a widow, five daugh-
tiers and two sons. His father also
survives him, and is 50 years of age"
