"LA Torre Webster, of Carpinteria, comes from a pioneer New York family, both his father and mother being natives of that state. There were four children born to them, three of whom are still living: L.T. who resides in the vicinity of Carpinteria, L.F, who is a postmaster at Ventura, and L.O. of Ottawa county, Ohio.
The father died in Ohio at the age of seventy-five years, and the mother, who came to California with her sons, lived to the advanced age of eighty-three years.
Born in Lorain county, Ohio, January 24, 1845, La Torre Webster left the state while still a boy and went to Wisconsin, where he received a common education. When the Civil War broke out he responded to the call of his country and enlisted in Co. E, 2nd Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and served three years and ten months. His campaign was an active one and with his company he took part in the battles of Ft Donelson, Shiloh and Corinth. After the war closed he went to Ohio and for 16 years engaged in grape culture. In 1881 he located at Carpinteria, Cal. Taking up unimproved land he set out his own orchard and erected buildings, making it one of the creditable ranches of the state, and of which he has every reason to be proud. He has made a specialty of walnut raising and is among the best posted men on the subject in the state. His orchard comprises sixty acres, a part of it being planted to apricots and other kinds of fruits, although the largest acreage is in walnuts.
In 1871, Mr. Webster was married to Sarah E. Hammond, of Erie county, Ohio, and two children were born to them, a son and daughter. T.D. Webster, who married Miss Stella Pike, has one child, and Mary A. who became the wife of W.E. Beckstead, has three children. Mr. Webster is a Republican in politics and serves his district as school trustee."
In his will, La Torre left 1/4 of his estate to his son La Torrey Dean and the remaining 3/4 to his daughter Mary Alice (Webster) Beckstead.
