What you’ll find here

This page opens the Webber Chronicle with a descendant’s poem, “The Story My Family Carried,” introducing the lives of John Ferdinand Webber and Silvia Hector Webber through memory, emotion, and place.

How to read this section

Move through the poem slowly, as you would in a museum gallery. Each section opens a chapter of their story—Webberville, exile, the Rio Grande, and the legacy their descendants still carry.

This page serves as an online, non-downloadable narrative introduction to the larger historical and educational experience of the Webber Chronicle.
