The Webster Family

   De La Fayette Webster and his brother, Aaron, were born in New York State, moved to Lorain County, Ohio with their parents and came to South Bass Island about 1862. They were stone masons and their first lime kiln was on East Point where the Yachtsmen’s Club was later built. The family built several stone and “grout houses,” and lived on South & Middle Bass.
Descendants of this family still live in the islands.
