Life

Joel Franklin Webb was born in Alabama on 16 April 1871, a son of Charles David Webb and Clarrissa Jane Carlisle; the FamilySearch tree gives the date without an attached source.1 The federal census of 1880 lists him, indexed as "Jone F.", in his father's household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) at Soccopatoy, as the census spelled Socapatoy, in Coosa County.2

Talladega and Birmingham

By 1900 he had left home: the census of that year lists Joel F. Webb in the household of John G. Bishop in Talladega, Talladega County, Alabama.3 Juliette Powe, born at Sylacauga in the same county in 1878, was living in Talladega that year in the household of her father, Julius A. Powe.4 Joel Franklin Webb and Juliette Powe were married on 19 June 1901, a marriage the tree places in Talladega County.5 The tree names their children as Ralph Powe (born 1902), Loraine Allie (1904–1970) and Margaret Houston (1913–2000).6

By 1910 the family was in Birmingham, Jefferson County, where the censuses of 1910, 1920 and 1930 found Joel and Juliette Webb, and where the tree also places them in 1935.7 At the Webb family reunion near Kellyton in August 1912, "Joel Franklin Webb and wife and their two children, Ralph and Loraine, Birmingham, Ala." were among those present, and "Joel F. Webb" was one of the brothers who replied to the Rev. D. M. Jenkins's speech of congratulation to the family.8 He is named as the father in the record of his son Ralph's marriage in Jefferson County in May 1938, which the indexes date 27 and 28 May.9

Tampa and Shreveport

By 1940 Joel and Juliette Webb had moved to Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, where the census of that year lists them in the household of his younger brother, Reuben D. Webb.10 The census of 1950, taken on 10 April, found Joel F. Webb still in Tampa, with Juliette P. Webb in his household.11

Joel Franklin Webb died at Shreveport, Caddo Parish, Louisiana, on 4 October 1957.12 His Louisiana death record names his father, Charles David Webb, and his mother as a Carlisle, and Juliette Powe appears in the same entry.12 He was buried in Forest Hill Cemetery, Birmingham, where his memorial is indexed by Find a Grave.13 Juliette survived him by more than ten years and died at Shreveport on 9 May 1968.14
