who are interested in the conservation and preservation of the
natural beauty and wild life of the country.

moved to Waukegan, where Frank attended school and later engaged

had lived practically all the time since in the present home on
Center St.
To the members of the Izaak Walton League of Lake County, Frank
Webb was most favorably known. He was a charter member of the
Waukegan Chapter and one of the officers. His support of every
movement in which the organization became interested was
pronounced.
The immediate members of the family surviving are, his wife, one
daughter, Mrs. Earl Simpson, his sister Mrs. L. J. Yager,
brothers David and Edward and grandchildren Kenneth and Marilyn
Simpson, all of this city.
The remains will lie in the family home until Saturday afternoon,
when they will be taken to the funeral home of White and Tobin

Baldus, of the First Baptist Church. Interment at Oakwood
Cemetery.
