Fletcher Webster
Colonel 12th Mass. Vols. (Infantry), June 26, 1861; killed at the battle of Bull Run, Va., August 30, 1862.
Fletcher Webster, son of Daniel and Grace (Fletcher) Webster, was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, July 23, 1813.
He was fitted for college at the Public Latin School in Boston, his father having removed to that city in 1816.
He entered Harvard College in 1829, and graduated in 1833.
Though not of studious habits, he held a respectable rank as a sch tes.
He was a clear and ready writer, and was fond of the discussion of political questions.
His father has said that no one could prepare a paper, in conformity with verbal instructions received from him, more to his satisfaction than his son Fletcher; and this was a point on which Mr. Daniel Webster's parental affection would not have blinded him. He was very fond of his son, and was not only happy in having him near him, but his happiness was always imperfect if his son were absent from him
