| Surname | Webb | | First Names | Nathaniel | | Place | Madras ![](../themes/fibisnew/images/earth.png) | | Year | 1838 | | Month | August | | Entry | WEBB – It is with regret we announce the death of Nathaniel Webb, Esq., late Post Master General at Madras, at the advanced age of seventy six years, sixty of which he had lived in India, not having been out of the country, we believe we are correct in saying, for a single day from the time of his landing in the year 1778. Mr Webb, as may be supposed, was the oldest resident civil servant of the East India Company in India, and it was only in May last, that he retired on an annuity. The death of this venerable person will be a serious loss to many, insamuch as his charity was of the most Christian kind, and in many cases only known to himself and the recipients of his bounty. His remains were interred yeasterday evening in St George's Ground [Courier, August 6th]. | | Edition Year | 1838 | | Edition Date | Vol II, No XII, December 1838 |
