Frank W. Webb Biography

FRANK W. WEBB, farmer and stock raiser and ex-member of the South Dakota general assembly, was born April 22, 1851, in Green Lake county, Wisconsin, being the son of Erastus and Jane Webb, the latter before her marriage having borne the family name of Clute. These parents, who were natives of New York, migrated to Wisconsin in 1846 and lived in the latter state until the year 1884, when they removed to Brown county, South Dakota. where the father entered land and developed a good farm on which he spent the remainder of his days, departing this life in the month of October, 1894.

Frank W. Webb spent his childhood in his native county and attended the public schools of the same at intervals until his sixteenth year. At that age he went to Nevada where he spent some time at farm work, was also employed for a period in a quartz mill and furnace, after which he devoted his attention to different kinds of manual labor, the meanwhile finishing his educational training in a normal school and giving one year to teaching. On September 28, 1879, he contracted a marriage with Miss Ellen Wilson and in the spring of the year following came to Brown county. South Dakota, locating in Aberdeen township, of which he and a gentleman by the name of C. F. Holms were the first settlers west of Aberdeen. Mr. Webb took up land, built a sod house and for several years lived the life of a pioneer, experiencing the vicissitudes peculiar to this country in an early day. Two years after his arrival the angel of death invaded his home and took therefrom his faithful wife and the tender, loving mother of his three young children. Later, in January, 1884, he chose a second companion in the person of Miss Penila Wilson, who has borne him one child, a son by the name of Roy W. The offspring by his first marriage, three in number, are Saidee, Flossie and Frantie, all at home and, with the other members of the family, constituting a happy and contented domestic circle.

Mr. Webb's career as a farmer has been creditable in every respect and he is today one of the enterprising and successful men of the county, owning a fine tract of land, and in addition thereto his wife has a desirable place of four hundred and eighty acres, which he also manages. He raises abundant crops of grain, which he makes a specialty, and on his place may be seen herds of fine Holstein cattle, also a number of valuable blooded horses, while the splendid condition of his home bespeaks the industry and deep interest with which he prosecutes his labors. Mr. Webb has been an active participant in political and public affairs ever since becoming a resident of Brown county, and in 1896 he was elected a member of the state senate. He entered that body as a Populist, served during the sessions of 1897-8 and became an influential factor in legislative matters, as well as a party leader. During his incumbency he was chairman of the committee on military affairs, also served in several other important committees, besides taking a prominent part in the general deliberations. When the great political reform was inaugurated throughout the west, Mr. Webb threw himself into the movement and since then he has given his allegiance and active support to the People's party. He has held several local positions, spending twelve years as chairman of the board of supervisors for his township and eight years as township clerk, and has also filled the office of school treasurer ever since the township organization went into effect. During the early days of the Farmers' Alliance he was active and influential in disseminating its principles and organizing local societies in different parts of the country, and he was honored at one time by being elected president of the organization in Brown county, the duties of which position he discharged in an able manner.
