Raymond Webb's Funeral



Raymond Alma Webb' Children and his first wife Carol

We attended the funeral of Ray Webb who passed away on Setember 5th 2005. The service was held in the Santa Clara Stake center in Santa Clara Utah on September 9th. The following are a few excerpts from his obituary:
Raymond Alma Webb, age 77, died Monday, Sept 5, 2005 in St. George, Utah following a lengthy illness. Ray was born in San Francisco, California on July 8, 1928, the first born child of Alma Ivor Webb and Ethel Louise Gibson.
Ray married Carol Clayton in the Logan Temple. They are the parents of three children, Mark, Christy and ReNee. They were later divorced. He later married Jean Franklin. They had a daughter, Lisa, and they were later divorced.
On march 29, 1977, Ray married Sharon Crider in Riverside, California. They were later sealed in the St. George temple on September 28, 1984.
He will be greatly missed by his wife, Sharon of Santa Clara, Mark and Kathy Peip Webb of Peoria, Arizona; Christy and John Pulsipher of Clifton, Virginia; Renee and Kevin Bergeson of Bountiful, Utah; and Lisa (Marie) of Graham, Illionis; as well as his brother Ronald and Vivian Webb of Aiken, South Carolina. Ray had 14 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren.
Ray and I enlisted in the U.S. Army in September, 1946 and we were assigned to the same army units for basic and technical training at Fort Belvoir, Virginia; sent to Manilla, P.I. and Toyko, Japan. I have fond memories of our association then and when I moved to Oregon with my Mother and Siblings when the Webbs invited us to live on their farm near Junction City Oregon before I enlisted in the army.
My brother, Loren and his wife Julie attended the funeral with me and my wife, Anita.

Research on connected families

Side Line Research
The research on the Armstrong families and the Brooks family is at a stand still at the present time. It seems reasonable to give consideration to other families that are connected to our lines, but not directly connected. An example of a family that I am currently giving consideration to is the Hall Family. A great Uncle, John Armstrong, married a woman by the name of Malinda Hall. John was last son to be born to Catharine and James Potter Armstrong. If one will go to the PHP Gedcom site, the relationship between ourselves and the Hall family can be easily seen.
Isaac Hall was the father of Malinda and after his wife passed away he lived with his so-in-law, John Armstrong. Isaac was one of seven children of the William Hall and Mary Cook Family. Mary’s father was Captain John Cook, a Revolutionary war veteran, from New Jersey where he entertained General George Washington while General Washington was in New Jersey. My research will probably end with the William Hall and Mary Cook Family and with as many of their grandchildren as I can find.
Isaac Hall was married several times, but I will probably conclude my research with his first wife, Hannah Crawford. Coincidently, William Irwin Armstrong, John Armstrong’s oldest brother, married an Ella Crawford after he moved to California in 1862. However, Ella Crawford was born in California.
The PHP Gedcom site will expand this family as I the research unfolds and the identity of various family members are confirmed. So, I hope you will visit often.
