Edwin Hermandis Webster's Direct Descendents
Arland Webster -- Arlan lived most of his life as a
farmer in Augusta, Hancock Co., IL. He never had
military service, though he registered in the military
for World War II, when he was described as tall,
slender, with blue eyes and brown hair. He went
from renting to owning to renting farmland in the
center of Augusta. A platte map shows he had land
in center of Augusta - 80 acres plus 140 acres and
a corner -- Section 16. However, 1930 census
records state he is renting the farm he lives on.
Arland died of brain cancer, though his condition
was complicated by bronchopneumonia at the time.
He was in Carthage, IL at the time of his death
(likely hospitalized there). Burial: Old Augusta
Cemetery, Augusta, Hancock Co., IL; 15, section 4.
He’s buried by wife Effie Maud Timesheske, close
to first wife Anna Cason (who died at age 21, four
years after their marriage).

Herman Chauncey Webster -- Herman was single all his life and
did odd jobs. He lived with family often, especially sister Ethyl's family
(at least from 1920 through 1930). Toward the end of his life, he
spent some time with brother Clyde. Clyde's grandson Gene Webster
recalls that Herman was very odd, and would get on the ground and
hop at him, mimicking a frog. Gene was somewhat frightened of the
old man, considering him crazy rather than funny. His military
registration card for World War II indicates he was "mentally
defective". He was tall and slender with blue eyes and brown hair at
age 42, and listed his job as "laborer" and his closest relative as
Orland Webster, his brother. There, his name is spelled "Herman
Chancy". In fact, Herman died of chronic myocarditis due to interstitial
nephritis, which in turn was due to arterio-sclerosis. After his death,
while it was not a big sum of money, he had accumulated enough
wealth that those modest amounts nonetheless stretched through a
few generations -- even to Gene.
