He was from birth a frail child, and until he attained the age of 16 years had but few and brief intervals of immunity from sickness. He early displayed the characteristics of a studious mind, and as he advanced in years developed a fondness for the study of history, and later of medicine. He has become a practitioner of some note, and controls a lucrative medical business, in which he has been engaged since 1874. He also superintends his agricultural and lumbering interests. Dr. Webster was married April 14, 1875, to Mary E. Bonney. She was born Dec. 20, 1858, and is the daughter of Walter E. and Lydia (Francis) Bonney, natives respectively of Massachusetts and New York. ==========================================================================
