	WALTER T. WEBB, one of the prominent physicians in Spokane, Washington,
although young in years, is one of the oldest in actual practice here.
	Dr. Webb was born in Kentucky in 1860, youngest of three children in the
family of John and Jennie (McWhorter) Webb, natives of Kentucky. His father, an
architect, died during the late war. The mother is still living, and is now a
resident of Seattle. Of his maternal grandfather, James McWhorter, we record
that he moved to Texas about 1850, settled in the northern part of the State,
built the first house in Sherman, and there passed the rest of his life and
died. The subject of our sketch received his early education in Memphis,
Tennessee, and in 1880 began the study of medicine at Omaha, Nebraska, where he
graduated in 1884 and where he practiced his profession one year. He then came
to Washington and has since been identified with the medical profession of
Spokane, having established an extensive and lucrative practice here. He helped
to organize the Board of Health at this place, and was its first president,
serving during the years of 1890 to ë92. He was also County Physician during
that time. He has been attending physician of the Gonzaga College, and is now
one of the physicians of the Sacred Heart Hospital. An earnest and enthusiastic
student of his profession, be gives it his undivided attention. He is a member
of the Spokane County Medical Society.
	Dr. Webb was married in 1887, to Miss Nora Flaming, a native of Nebraska.
They are members of the Catholic Church.
