" Obituary. Mrs. Lydia Webb, daughter of David and Nancy Mills,
was born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, January 8, 1833, and died in
Norton, Kansas, August 15, 1910, aged 77 years, 7 months and 7 days.
She was married to Mr. George Webb June 19, 1849, and to them was born eleven children,
four having preceded her to future life. She was early in life connected with the U. B. church,
and as long as they lived in Pennsylvania, but for many years had lived where there was no church
of that denomination. Her life was one of most unselfish devotion to her family,
her neighbors and her friends."
Because George's brother John was a coal miner in 1900 Gunnison County, and then in Erie, Weld County, Colorado in 1910 and 1920, that might
be why George ventured to Colorado.
