SISTER MARY JANE WEBB was born on March 26, 1831, in Stewart County, Tennessee. She professed faith in Christ about the year 1846, and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Liberty congregation. Sister Webb's maiden name was Dunbar. She was married to Rev. J. G. Webb (now deceased) on February 19, 1850. To this union were born ten children, seven of whom survive her--three sons and four daughters. She with her husband removed to Mayfield, Graves County, Ky., in the year 1871, where she lived until the day on which she fell asleep in Jesus, which occurred on October 31, 1911. She, with her husband, united with the Mayfield congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in the year 1871, in which she lived true to her precious Saviour and loyal to her church, which she loved devotedly. Sister Webb had a stroke of paralysis on the fourth day of March, 1911, since which time she was in great pain bodily, until just a short time before the ministering angels accompanied her liberated spirit to the beautiful mansion above, where she, with her sainted husband and children gone before, are together realizing the depths of the riches of the sweet Bible promise: "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." Brother and Sister Webb were permitted to live to see seven of the ten children born to them grow to manhood and womanhood, and marry and settle near the good old home in which they were reared. Then the faithful father, who was a good minister of Jesus Christ, was called home. Now dear, precious mother is called, and she obeys, yet leaving the best of a true mother's heart with her heart-broken children: "Meet me in heaven." It was always a source of pleasure to the writer to be in the home of Brother and Sister Webb, and so with all good people, and especially preachers. Now, "they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." Dear children, with broken heart and tearful eyes look up and say: "When my final farewell to this world I have said, and all earth's friends have done for me what they can, then to Jesus will I go, and with the innumerable multitude of loved ones be at home forever more." The writer preached the funeral at the residence of her youngest daughter, Mrs. Gould, in the presence of a large company of relatives and friends. The beautiful casket in which her remains was placed testified to the love of her children. The burial was by the side of her husband in the City Cemetery.
