Notes for Nelson Robinette "Big Nelt" Webb:
The following article is from The Mountain Eagle newspaper dated 3/7/40, page 1, column 7:

"Big Nelt Webb Will Be Eighty Tuesday, March 12"

Mr. N. R. Webb (known to his many friends as Big Nelt) of Mayking, came in Monday to renew his subscription to The Mountain Eagle. Mr. Webb will be an octogenarian on next Tuesday, March 12th, when he will celebrate his eightieth birthday. All smiles and in perfect health for a man of his age, Mr. Webb had many interesting things to tell us.
He states that he is the son of the late Miles M. Webb and Mary Holbrook Webb, and lives in the house built by his father about eighty-five years ago. He has two sisters, Mrs. Lettie Chisenall, 75 years old, and lives at Wise, Va., and Mrs. Margaret Elizabeth Gibson, 85 years old, who lives in Whitesburg.
On Nov. 9, 1882, Mr. Webb married Miss Catherine Spangler of Mayking, and after 57 years of married life he still says she is the prettiest woman in Letcher county and that letting him be the Judge she will win the prize in any beauty contest. He and his faithful companion have raised ten children, nine of whom are still living - five boys and five girls: Lindsey, Wash (deceased), Watson, John Harrison and Herbert Woodrow who has been in the Army for several years; Mrs. Callie Webb, Mrs. Burdie Webb Craft, Mrs. Polly Ellen Bates, Mrs. Sabrinia Williams and Mrs. Elsie V. Blair.
Mr. Webb taught school in Jenkins in 1882 (at that time Pike County) and also Floyd and Letcher counties. He says he believes he has more teacher's certificates than any man in Letcher County. Teachers got very little money for their services while he was a teacher.
Mr. Webb states that he was born March 12, 1860, and that his wife was born July 13, 1868, making him 8 years, 4 months and one day older than she. He and his wife are strong Democrats, members of the Regular Baptist church and use the Bible as a guide. He says he owns his own home and land and that he does not owe any man a dime and that he has never deeded his property over to some one else in order to try to beat his debts.
Mighty good life you've lived Mr. Webb, only wish we and all others could do as well.
