Life

Wilma Lila Webb was born at Kellyton, Coosa County, Alabama, on 27 June 1894, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date.1 She was the eldest child of James Pleasant Webb and his first wife, Elba Lively, who died in 1899, and the federal censuses of 1900 and 1910 listed her in her father's household, first in Coosa County and then in the twelfth ward of Birmingham, Jefferson County.2

On 1 October 1913 she married Wade E. Powell in Jefferson County, the marriage being indexed in some entries under the name "Wilmer Lila Webb."3 Their son Wade Edward Powell Jr. was born in 1914.4 By 1920 the family was living at Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama, where the census indexed her as "Willima L Powell," and in that year an infant child of the couple died.5 The Powells were again in Birmingham by 1930, and the census of 1940 still listed Wilma Powell in her husband's household there.6 The tree, without a source, records their divorce in Alabama on 3 June 1940.7

On 3 November 1942 she married James Arthur Chappell, as Wilma Lila Webb Powell; her father, James P. Webb, is named in the marriage record.8 The census of 18 April 1950 found Wilma L. Chappell in his household in Birmingham.9 The tree gives her occupation as "Saleslady," without a source.10 Her son Wade Jr. died in 1962, and her husband James Arthur Chappell in 1959.11 She died at Birmingham in January 1978 and was buried at Elmwood Cemetery, Jefferson County, according to the tree, which cites only a Find a Grave index entry for her.12
