## Anchorage House of Webster

The Webster-McClellan Family, 1965

In the extended Webster family, the **Anchorage Websters** (officially the **Anchorage House of Webster**) were an American traditional family headed by Garfield Lucas Webster II (1920-2019) and Eleanora McClellan-Webster (1930-2023), they were based in Anchorage, Alaska, USA, and they were a post-WWII, Cold War-era, New Deal-Great Society Democratic and Episcopalian (except for Garfield Webster II who was a Catholic) household comprised with Garfield Webster II and his wife Eleanora McClellan-Webster, and their 10 children, Garfield III, Chester, Thomas, Sydney, Timothy, Rosalynn, Jennifer, Kathleen, Charles, and Juneau, and their five pets: 4 dogs and 1 cat. The Webster-McClellan children, with strong ties to the Chawosaurian world, are the paternal grandchildren of Garfield Lucas Webster (1860-1955). who was the Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria during the 1910s.

Garfield Lucas Webster II was born to a Roman Catholic immigrant family, his father being from the United Kingdom though born in Russia however without a Russian bloodline, and his mother being from the Netherlands, he had two siblings: Severus and Dorothy. Eleanora Deborah McClellan was born to a large Scotch-Irish American family in Boston, her McClellan-Reagan family were Episcopalians. Due to the friendship between Garfield II's father and Eleanora's grandfather, Garfield II and Eleanora met at some point around before the Pearl Harbor attacks in 1941, but the two never developed a love for each other until Garfield II was serving in combat in the Pacific Ocean during World War II.

When Garfield Webster II returned from the war, it became secret that Garfield II and Eleanora started having a consensual affair, resulting in the pregnancy of Garfield Lucas Webster III in 1945, the result was Garfield II and Eleanora marrying despite the controversial age difference between the two, when they married, Garfield II was 25 and Eleanora was 15. Today, Garfield II's impregnation of Eleanora would be considered statutory rape and it would lead and has led to the speculation that Garfield II was a pedophile following his death in 2019. The reason the marriage was allowed was because of the culture of their time, back in 1945, a 15-year-old. even, could marry if the parents consented, and Eleanora's parents did consent to the marriage mainly due to her first pregnancy. It is fair and rightful criticism to say Garfield II should've waited until Eleanora was of age, and Garfield II's sexuality is rightfully deserving to be questioned by viewers despite his death.

The birth of Garfield III in 1946 pulled the couple more together.

The War in Vietnam and the Civil Rights Movement threatened the Webster marriage, Garfield II, having had served his country in the second world war following the Japanese invasion on Pearl Harbor in 1941, believed that his sons have a duty to their country, to defend American freedom against the expansion of communism during the Cold War as he defended American freedom against fascism in World War II, and he worked to ensure that his sons are conscripted to fight in Vietnam. On the domestic front, Americans of color, mainly Black Americans, rose up in fatigue of the regime of racial segregation in the U.S., particularly in the south, and to force the U.S. government to uphold their previously abandoned promises to African Americans to enforce racial equality in the United States, Eleanora strongly supported racial equality, while Garfield II supported racial segregation, causing a political rift in their marriage and the inability to message race to their children without contradicting each other. Eleanora won both battles over Garfield II, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 resulted in the collapse of the post-Reconstruction status quo, and the poor direction of the War in Vietnam and the resultant death of their son Garfield Lucas Webster II in 1969 both broke her husband's resolve and worldview; but Eleanora also suffered ideological setbacks herself, her and her husband's party, the Democrats, as a result of their embracement of civil rights as part of the Democrat-led Great Society programs orchestrated by the Democratic U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, had badly weakened the Democratic Party for the final years of the 20th century and turned Americans against New Deal liberalism. The Democrats lost the so-called *"solid south"* (the American south) as well as many White Americans, in exchange for non-white Americans and the poor. Both Garfield II and Eleanora had also suffered a family setback, their children moved away to escape their politically tumultuous marriage, their sons returning from Vietnam refused to move back to Anchorage, and their daughters married quite early to escape the Webster household, that meant Eleanora repeated the same mistakes her parents made that drove her into gaining independence from her parents.

One victory for Garfield II and Eleanora is that these setbacks in the family and changes of America had actually helped their marriage survived, They raised their last two sons, Charles and Juneau, until they were adults by the late 1970s and starting in 1980, they lived a quiet marriage. However, their children, now adults, stated to have tumultuous marriages of their own and most of these marriages did not survive as long as Garfield II and Eleanora's, Eleanora attempted to convince their children to remain married or save their marriages on their own devices, but they either ignored or failed in their attempts to do so, many of Garfield II and Eleanora's children asked that they relinquish custody of their own children over to them, but they refused, in part due to the fact that they had so many grandchildren more than they had their 10 children (1 disowned). By the 1990s, many of Garfield II and Eleanora's children remarried and begin to live in rather or fairly stable marriages. They returned to focus on politics and their children became passionate supporters for the Democratic Party in support for President Clinton and concern for President Bush and the Republicans' execution of the War on Terror following the September 11 Attacks in 2001. The Webster-McClellan family and their own families became increasingly more connected after a string of successful reconciliations after their family collapse in the early 1970s. Throughout the 2010s, the Webster couple became so involved into the broader Webster family and in the late 2010s, they made new contacts with the Chawosaurian Imperial Government.

Garfield Lucas Webster II died on September 4, 2019, at age 99, at home in Anchorage.
