PIONEER RESIDENT IS
STRICKEN
Willis Webb Drops Dead While
Walking to Town-Came
West in '49.

Willis Webb, for 20 years resi-
dent of Emmett, and for 10 years a
resident of the intermountain country,
was stricken with paralysis while
walking to town Friday morning and
passed away without = struggle. He
died on the road past the Emmett
Meat Co.'S slaughter house. He had
left the home of his son and name
sake, where he lived, in his usual
health and good spirits, with no pre-
mmonition that Iife's brittle thread
would be severed and his death was \
great shock to his relatives and .
host of friends.
Willis Webb was born Sept. 20,
1874, in New York state, and there
fore was II years Of age. His
mother died when he was years OF
age. His father, member of L. D. s.
church, joined the Mormon exodus to
Utah in 1849, and when the Mormon
battalion was called out he joined
tuCiHJ leaving Hio ldHllly az OOOlICil
Bluffs, Iowa Two years later he
returned for the family and took
them to Utah, reaching there in 1851.
He lived in that state until 1901, when
he came to Emmett
He was veteran of the Black
Hawk war and drew a pension from
the government up to- the time of his
death. In 1868 he was united in mar
riage to Beulah Allen. To them were
born seven children, three of whom
survive. They are Mrs. John Harris
and Willis A Webb of Emmett and
Mrs. Nancy Smith of Bramwell.
There are also % grandchildren and 4
great grandchildren, all living at En-
NETT and Bramwell.
The funeral services were held Mon
day in the L. D. S. church, with Bis
hop Geo. Smith in charge and Heber
q. Hale, president of the Boise stake,
delivering the address.
Willis Webb was man of honor
and uprightness and was held in
high esteem by all who knew him. He
had experienced more hardships and
witnessed more of the changes that
the inventive genius of man has
brought about in the last half a CEN
tury than usually falls to the lot of
man He was one of the rearguard of
those. daring crusaders who trekked
across the plains to found new civ
ilization in this great western coun-
try. There are but few of his asso-
ciates left.

FUNDS FOR SAL WALTON
ARMY
Gem County Drive to Start Oct.
29-Asked to Give Quota
of $1,000.

X N organization COM
posed of members
of the Masonic order and
the Emmett Shrine
Club have undertaken
the raising Of Gem
County's quota of $1,000
for the Salvation Army. ]. w. Tyler
has assumed the management Of the
drive, which starts Saturday, Oct. 29,
and continues for one week.
The campaign is to raise fund OF
$685. in Idaho to take care Of the
ensuing years budget for mainten-
ance Of the Army's work in Idaho, in
Guiding the Rescue Home in Boise,
without having to resort to continual
and expensive solicitation of funds
from store to store and poolroom to
poolroom in the various towns of the
state.
1t is not necessary to acclaim the
splendid work the Salvation Army has
done and is doing. Their record in
the World war was one of heroism
and elf-sacrifice. and no soldier boy
cover there" will ever forget the good
work they did. 1t was service that
shines brilliantly in the dark pages
of the history Of that conflict. Since
the war, the Army has broadened the
scope and activities of its work. The
Rescue Home in Boise is doing a no.
BILE work in caring for wayward girls.
That institution is full and more
room is needed. Other homes are
needed in other portions of Idaho.
The Salvation Army is asking the
people Of Idaho to finance this grand
work. Let US respond to their cali
generously and have a part in the
splendid service for humanity of the
Salvation Army. Subscriptions may
be sent to either Of the Emmett
banks or handled in to any Of the
stores. Contributions in any amount
will be thankfully received.
