John L. Webster immigrated to the United States from Scotland in 1897. It appears that John was a judge and had a wife, Nellie
B., and a son, William (Bill), who was born in 1914. The family resided in Malibu, California. The John L. Webster Elementary
School in Malibu was named after the former judge.
The collection consists of correspondence, photographs, and financial documents belonging to the Webster family of Malibu,
California. Included are letters written by William (Bill) Webster to his parents while at Urban Military Academy or Camp
Curry in Yosemite; several Urban Military Academy publications; a diploma from Winchester Junior Rifle Corps presented to
Bill Webster; a program from a horse show put on by the Urban Military Academy; a receipt and invoices regarding rent on a
Las Flores property in Pacific Palisades; the financial ledger of John and Nellie Webster; a notice from Los Angeles Waterworks
and Utilities; and several unidentified photographs of a work environment.
The collection is organized into the following series: 1. Correspondence; 2. Photographs; 3. Printed Materials; 4. Financial
Records.
The collection was arranged and described by Katie Richardson and Catie Golitzin.
