MRS. ALBERT WEBB

Passed Away October 24 at Her Home in Smithville

   Mrs. Albert Webb died at her home near Tyner in the town of Smithville, October 24, 1911, at 11 a.m., after a long protracted illness.  Mrs. Webb had been a sufferer for three years from stomach trouble.  Every aid that could be given her was extended.  She underwent an operation in the Good Shepherd hospital in Syracuse several months ago but the dread disease had progressed too far to insure recovery.

   Her maiden name was Margaret E. Silvernail and she was born in the town of North Fenton in Broome county in 1855.  She was married to Warren Willcox in about the year 1875, to whom there were born four children who survive: Mabel, wife of D. M. Edgerton of Binghamton; Mary, wife of B. F. Holdredge of Norwich; Emory Willcox of Willet; Margaret, wife of Elmer Greene of Cincinnatus.  Mr. Willcox died nearly twenty-five years ago.  In 1890 she was again married to Albert Webb, who still survives her.  She leaves one daughter, Miss Bertha Webb of Smithville, by her second marriage and one stepdaughter, Mrs. E. J. Smith, of Norwich.

   She is also survived by three brothers, W. C. Silvernail of Rockdale, John Silvernail of Wellsbridge and Faron Silvernail of Bainbridge; three sisters, Mrs. Henrietta Reynolds of Chenango Forks, Mrs. Geo. Blatchley and Mrs. Ernest Trewer of Freehold, N. J.

   Mrs. Webb has resided in Smithville most of her life, and was esteemed as a good neighbor and friend.  She was also a member of the Methodist church.

   The funeral was held Thursday, Rev. A. O. Austin of this village officiating, and burial was made in McDonough cemetery.

Just resting from earths suffering

 and strife,

Just wearing a crown of eternal 

life.

Just across to a land that is fairer, 

Precious flowers their fragrance

gives o'er,

Just waiting to welcome the loved 

ones over,

Just waiting to open the door.
