She was a daughter of Henry Beymer and Elizabeth McMullen Beymer, who were pioneer setters at Washington this county, and was born in Washington August 21st, 1812, and was married at the same place April 12, 1831 by Peter Umstot, Esq.; to Bateman Webster, of Somerset County, Penn. After their marriage they made Norwich, Muskingum County, their home for many years. Bateman Webster was a soldier. They both became members of the M. E. Church and their home became a stopping place for the Methodist itinerants of that early day. They removed to Cambridge in 1862 and united by certificate with the church in April during the pastorate of Rev. W.B. Watkins. Bateman Webster died April 19, 1873. He built and resided in the house which was removed to give place to the Colonial block. Since his death the widow resided on North Sixth street. They were childless. Sister Webster, although having but little education was naturally a very intelligent woman, and a well worn family Bible attest her study of the word of life. She had many strange characteristics, and much disposed to fault finding, especially with the younger class, and as she grew older was disposed to think that the boys and girls that passed her residence, were purposely annoying her. But with her "after life's fitful fever she rest well." She was the youngest daughter of her father's family. Her father died at the age of 90 years. Of the family all are deceased except a brother, Noah Beymer, of Washington. Interment in the South Cemetery, funeral conducted by Dr. R.B. Pope, Wednesday at 4 o'clock from the M.E. Church. Thursday 21 May 1903 Cambridge Jeffersonian Cambridge Ohio. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
