      Dr. Dave L. Webb Dead
      One of the Best Known Men in Letcher County and the Mountains Goes to His Reward.
      Last Friday night, surrounded by his many friends, Dr. David L. Webb, one of the best known men in this section, died at his home on Bottom fork, in this county. He had been afflicted with that terrible destroyer, typhoid, for over twenty days and all that medical skill could do availed nothing.

      He was about fifty-six years of age and leaves a wife and fourteen living children to mourn his death. He had attained considerable reputation throughout the mountains as a specialist along certain lines and will be greatly missed.

      Dr. Dave was a son of the late "Dutch" Webb and belonged to the large Webb family in this county. The Eagle extends sympathy to the bereaved family of our deceased cousin.
