Obituary
er, Wis.

Albinus Webster was born in
Haverhill, Mass, Sept, %, 1882. At
the age of six he came with his faith
er's family to Vernon, Waukesha
Co., Wis, where he spent his boy
hood on the farm. AS a young man
he spent three years apprentice
ship in a blacksmith shop in Mil
waukee. At the age of "a he came
with his oldest brother Alba by wag-
ons and OK teams to Pleasant Val
ley. 1t was a dreary ride over un-
broken roads. One of the wagons
stuck in the mud at Brookville where
it was left till next day, June 4, 1856.
The first season he made his home
with the family of his brother, mile
TO the southeast. In these early days
deer and prairie chickens were
plentiful and at one time he drank
no water for one week except what
he obtained from watermelons.
November Is, 1862, he was married
to Sarah E. Gale, riding to Hudson
on load of wheat. Mr.. and Mrs.
G. l. Ap Roberts were married by
the same pastor, that day.
The farm was cleared and broken,
the farm buildings erected, the barn
being raised" just % years after
his arrival. Frank was born in
1867 and Perley two years later.
The boys were given careful home
training and school advantages and
returned to the care of the home
acres and the "old folks" Mr..
Webster enjoyed life, for many years
making regular trips for his mail or
with cream to market, and Spot"
and Grandpa Webster were fam
iliar friends on many roads.
Thus the years passed. Friday,
July 20, he had been in usual health,
spoke last to four-year-old Helen as
he babe her good night" Next
morning he did not report for break
fast and while this was unusual he
seemed sleeping so quietly that no
alarm was felt. But when nine,
and ten O'Clock came and he did not
rouse doctors were called who said
that Grandpa had cerebral hemor-
rhage. He faded slowly, never be-
coming conscious. The end came
Tuesday, Aug. 2, at 8 p. m. with
those nearest and dearest about his
bedside. He was inferred in Pleas
ant Valley Cemetery, Rev. Palms OF
Minneapolis, having charge of the
funeral, in the absence of Mr.. Fisher.
Grandpa is missed from the old
scenes and Grandma and the boys
and their families long for a word
from the lips that cannot speak to

The Work Of the Highway
Division

Three years ago the Hig hway Di-
vision of the Wisconsin Geological
and Natural History Survey COM
menced its work of giving free en-
cheering advice to towns in the
state contemplating road or bridge
improvement. The first year was
spent in organizing force and max
ing the work known to the people of
the state by demonstration roads,
speeches and literature. BY July
1st, 1908, the work was we'll under
way, and since that time remarkable
results have been achieved.
The two year period ending July
1st, 1910, shows the following work
done by the four engineers employed
in this work: PSI public speeches
made in IS counties; ia road in
spections made in 80 counties; 90
road surveys totalling IS miles in
length made in rs counties; 277
bridge inspections made in "a coun-
ties; $50 bridges costing about $175,-
900 built under the Divisions plans
in AZ counties; $4,000 worth of
road construction done under the
Divisions plans.
In addition to the above, much
road and bridge construction has
been done under advice by letter or
direct from information contained
in the road pamphlets issued by the
Division, which is not included in
the above summary.
Considering the fact that the local
officials always voluntarily avail
themselves of the help of the Divi-
sion, as assistance is only furnished
on request; the above showing de-
monstrates the fact that there is de-
veloping real demand for skilled
advice in road and bridge construc-
tion in this state.
