Notes for JOSEPH DALEY WEBB: J. D. Webb Killed Feb. 12 1904
Accidentally Shot Himself Wednesday.
Street Commissioner.
A Young Man of Eureka Meets with Untimely Death–Was Just Starting for a Hunt.–Funeral This Morning.
J. D. Webb fatally shot himself at his home in southeast Eureka by the accidental discharge of a 22 rifle which he was placing in his buggy preparatory to going hunting. He died at 2:30 p. m., Wednesday without having regained consciousness.

Wednesday morning, Mr. Webb who was the street commissioner for Eureka City, planned to go to the Charles Couchman place about three miles from town to spend the day hunting. He went to the barn to hitch his horse to the buggy and carried with him his loaded rifle. Going into the shed first, to push out the buggy, in some manner the gun was discharged, the ball striking Mr. Webb in the middle of the forehead. It is probable that as the rifle was being placed in the buggy the hammer struck the whip socket with sufficient force to discharge the gun as it was found lying in the buggy.

John Kirk, who lives near the Webb home, and Mrs Webb, mother of J. D. Webb, both heard the report and ran to th barn, where they found young Webb lying unconscious in the buggy shed. He was carried to the house, a distance of about 100 feet. Physicians were immediatelt summoned, but the victim was beyond human help, and lived but six hours.

Joseph Daley Webb was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Webb, of Eureka, with whom he lived together with his two sisters. He was born 32 years, 3 months and 5 days ago. He was a gentleman every inch of him and had the respect and frendship of all who knew him. He was absolutely honest and faithful to duty. As street commissioner he was particulary efficient. He was a member of the Chritian church having united with that body about two weeks ago.

The funeral services were held at the family residence at 10:30 o’clock this morning conducted by the Rev. G. F. Bradford. The interment was in Greenwood cemetery and was in charge of Ossian Lodge No. 58 Knights of Pythias.
