The Webb family has been apart of Shelby County for over 90 years, and continues to be a pillar of the community.

"The Webb family hasn't always been in the funeral business".

Webb Transfer Line offices had its beginning in 1914. It's founder, Mr. R. Reed Webb, President, was a pioneer of the trucking industry.

The company began with horses, mules and wagons. The first truck was purchased in 1922. Webb Transfer Line today is the holder of two certificates, Common Carrier, General Commodities, Louisville-Shelbyville and Common Carrier Irregular Route.

Mr. Reed Webb was an honorary lifetime director of the Common Carrier Irregular Route Conference of American Trucking Association. This honor was the result of many years of hard work, office holding and unselfish interest given by Mr. Webb in behalf of the conference. Mr. Webb was one of the founding fathers of the Central & Southern Motor Freight Tariff Association. He also served as a member of the first Board of Directors of Kentucky Motor Transport Association.

The Webb Family has been apart of Shelby County for over 90 years, and continues to be a pillar of the community.

Tom was associated with Webb Funeral home for many years prior to his death in August 2000. He was licensed funeral director for 53 years, and we are very proud he chose to place his license with us. A native of Taylorsville, Tom was the son of the late Dr. T.J. Snider and Carrie Sparrow Snider.

Tom was a retired farmer with an intense love of horses. He also loved to be around people. Reared as the son of the local doctor, there were few people in Spencer and surrounding counties he didn't know as he traveled with his father for many years making medical house calls. And he enjoyed his friendship with each and every person he ever met.

We are thankful to have had the opportunity to gain some of his knowledge and wisdom. His expertise will be sorely missed. He always had a story to tell and gave a smile to every one he met. His ease with people and his friendliness made him a natural in the funeral business. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to be associated with him. His license and photo still hang in our funeral home to honor his memory.

In October 2000, the remains of Louisa S. Tucker, as well as others, were inadvertently discovered during construction activities in Lake Forest Court.

An engraved lead plaque found on the chest area of the cast iron coffin identified the remains. Based upon the name of the individual, a preliminary examination of historic records was undertaken. It was discovered that Louisa Tucker died on February 4, 1843.

After many discussions about how to handle the "new found" remains, the best and most economical option were to declare the site an "abandoned" cemetery and the remains be relocated to another site.

Webb Funeral Home was in charge of this relocation process. The first stage in the process of removal of remains from a cemetery involves locating the exact number of remains, and their condition. Due to the presence of the electric lines, road and unknown amounts of discarded metal around the construction site, remote sensing could not be used. Archaeological excavations would have to be employed to locate the unknown grave shafts. Which included the use of a backhoe with a toothless bucket and scraping.

Two primary methods were used to determine the number of unknown graves present. These were archaeological excavation and historic documentation. Both of these techniques were used to determine the specific number of graves and identify the individuals found.

Thanks to hard work and dedicated staff at Webb Funeral Home, all seven graves from the property now known as Forest Place Subdivision were reentered on November 1, 2000 at their final resting place, Simpsonville Masonic Cemetery.
