Whereas, his wife Dr. Clemmie E. Webber was born in the Town of St. Matthews in 1913; and

Whereas, the Webbers were married in 1935 and together raised three children; and

Whereas, Paul Webber was a highly regarded resident of Orangeburg who served as an outstanding Professor of Economics and assistant football coach at South Carolina State University for many years; and

Whereas, Dr. Clemmie E. Webber has distinguished herself in the Orangeburg community as an outstanding professor at South Carolina State University and as an accomplished humanitarian through her involvement in a number of civic organizations; and
