ANOTHER OLD SOLDIER JOINS SILENT BAND

William Webb, Long a Member of Rensselaer Post No. 84, Died In Walker Township. William Webb, an old soldier and for many years a member of Rensselaer Post, No. 84, Grand Army of the Republic, died at his home in Walker township this Tuesday morning at about 7 o’clock. He was past 80 years of age. His wife is a sister of Jacdb Wilcox, of this city, and William Wilcox, of Union township. Mr. Webb was unable to come to Rensselaer to attend the post very often but always sent his dues and held his comradeship as a great privilege. His old friends were very sorry to learn of his death and Commander Yeoman hopes to have quite a number attend the funeral, which will be held Thursday morning at 10 o’clock. All who can arrange to attend are asked to notify Mr. Yeoman not later than Wednesday morning.
