Andrew Webb, an enterprising tiller of the soil, of Greene County, Ark., and postmaster of Bethel, was
born in the State of Tennessee, in 1824, and is the fourth of nine children born to James and Monnima
(Crisp) Webb, who were natives of North and South Carolina, respectively. The father followed farming
on an extensive scale, and was a soldier in the War of 1812, being with Jackson at the battle of New
Orleans. He died in Tennessee, where he had made his home for many years, in 1866, at the age of
seventy-six years, followed by his wife in 1867. Andrew Webb resided on a farm in Tennessee, and when
twenty-one years of age purchased a farm, and began doing for himself. He was married about this time to
Miss Winnie C. Coburn. a native of Alabama, and remained in the State of Tennessee engaged in
improving his farm. until 1858, when he sold out and came to Greene County, Ark., where he bought a
tract of eighty acres of wild land. He cleared about forty acres of this farm, set out orchards, and put his
property under fence, but some three years later traded it for a tract containing 160 acres, on which is now
situated the station of Bethel. Here he opened up about sixty acres, erected good buildings, set out
orchards, etc., and when the railroad was established he sold a considerable amount of his property for
business purposes. In 1883 he received a commission as first postmaster of Bethel, and has held this office
up to the present time. His wife, who died in October, 1887, bore him five children: Lucinda E., wife of
W. A. J. Wood; James W., John William, who died at the age of nineteen years; Pamelis E., wife of W. O.
Lane, and Sarah Ella, who died at the age of six years. May 3, 1889, he was married to Mrs. Mary C.
Yepp, a native of Georgia. James W. Webb, the only living son of Andrew Webb, is at present thirty-seven
years of age, and is tilling the soil on a portion of his father's farm, [p.183] and on 120 acres which he had
purchased. Mr. Webb has one of the best farms in his section, about sixty acres being under cultivation
and fence. He takes considerable interest in politics, and is a Democrat, having been elected on that ticket,
in 1880, to the office of justice of the peace, which position he has since held, with the exception of two
years. He was married in 1869 to Miss Mary R. Wood, a native of Mississippi, and a daughter of James R.

been born five children: Calador W. J., Sarah Ella, James A., who died at the age of four years and one
month, and Mary Lelor. One child died in infancy, unnamed. Mr. Webb has a pleasant home in Bethel,
his lot consisting of two acres. He has always been a patron of education, and all worthy public
enterprises, and his business as justice of the peace is quite extensive. He has served as school director for
