Woodstock Man Observing 96th Birthday Today

—Mr. John Webb of Woodstockis today receiving congratulations from many friends on the occasion of his ninety-sixth birthday.

He was born in Carleton. Lot 8. I son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Webb (nee Sarah Griffith). who had come to this country from Hallen, Bristol, England. In 1885 he was married to Lydia McDowell, the officiating clergyman being luv. R. W. Dyer.

Of this union there were the fol- lowing children: Rov. Russell Webb of Waterford. N. s.; Alvin Weob. postmaster at 0'l..eary: Louise. Mrs. Arthur Dignon of Woodstock; Ella. Mrs. Ward Jelly of Unionvale; Ivan Webb oi I-Iowlan: Hattie. Mrs. Ban- nemisn Webb of Carleton, Lot 6; ‘Elsie. Mrs. Earl Palmer of Wood- stock.

Another son died in infancy. There are eight grandchildren and sixteen greatrgrandchildren.

Mrs. Webb passed away in 1918 and six years later Mr. Webb was married to Margaret. wldowpf George Gordon of Montrose. Prior to her death in 1949 she became totally blind and was also confin- ed to bed for three or foul‘ years. During this time she was tenderly cared for by her husband.

Fine Craftsman

By occupation Mr. Webb was a farmer. but he has devoted much time to two creative hobbies. He was an expert cabinet maker and his hands have fashioned many pieces of fine furniture. Among them is the pulpit of st. Luke's church which ‘ ‘ as I memorial to his first wife, the hymn bosrd which was I gift to st. Peter's Church in Alberton. and the hymn board in Bloomfield United Church. His granddaughter. Mrs. Douglas Adams of o'Les.ry. is the proud possessor of I bureau which he made for her when he was close to ninety years of age.

Mr. Webb is a master gardener. In summer motorists frequently stop to admire his well kept town, which he still mows himself) and beautiful flowers. His most out- standing plant is I huge red ger- Inlum which he has had for msxiy yos.rI. It grows in I lsrge tub which is taken inside for the winter months but in summer grecos the centre of the lawn with In unbe- lievable profusion of bloom. Last year I friend inquired the number of blooms and that he was unable to count them. Another perennial of Mmorksble beauty is his white peony. Manny varieties of flower and I number of very fine liouso plants receive the best of care from this fine old gentleman who finds joy and IIti.s-
