Notes for Chalkley WEBSTER
Chalkley Webster, eldest son of Jesse and Elizabeth (Lukens) Webster, was reared in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and he received a practical education in the schools of Unionville and London Grove. After laying aside his school books, he secured employment with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, but after a short period of time he discontinued his services with that corporation and secured a position as helper on a farm. After serving in that capacity for a number of years, during which time he acquired a thorough knowledge of the routine work of a farm, he purchased a ninety-
seven-acre tract of land which he cultivated for six years. He then purchased another farm, consisting of one hundred and eighty acres of rich and arable land, whereon he continued to reside for fifteen years, and in 1878 he became the owner of a one hundred and eighty acre farm at Homeville, Upper Oxford township, where he conducted extensive operations for twenty-one years, after which he disposed of it to his son, Linford Webster. In politics he is a strong Prohibitionist, and he is also very much opposed to the tobacco habit, having often spoken in public on the subject. He
has served his township in the capacity of school director, performing his duties in an efficient and creditable manner. He is a birthright member of the Society of Friends, and is a regular attendant at their meetings, where he performs the duties of minister.
