NATHAN B. WEBSTER, merchant, Allen’s Block, Fourth street, Greenville; dealer in groceries, provisions, glass and queensware, etc., etc. The subject of this memoir was born in Mt. Sterling, Madison Co., Ohio, Nov. 3, 1846, and is a son of J. S. Webster, now a prominent merchant of Ansonia, whose biography appears among the sketches of Brown Township, in another part of this work; our subject came to Darke Co. with his parents in 1865; after one year’s residence he removed to Illinois, where he resided until 1871, at which time he returned to Greenville and followed clerking and various pursuits until January, 1880, when he purchased his present business, and from his extended acquaintance and popularity we predict, that he will command a large increasing yearly trade. His marriage with Dottie Martin was celebrated in Greenville in April, 1872; she was born in Greenville Sept. 2, 1850; they have four children by this union, viz., William, Charles T., Clyde and Gertrude. Mrs. Webster is a daughter of William Martin, one of the prominent early pioneers of Darke Co. whose biography appears among the sketches of this township.
