Pat,

Based on the information Mike posted, I believe this may be your Ben Webb:

Texas Deaths, 1890-1976
Name: Ben H. Webb
Birth: December 10, 1888
Place: Paris, Tenn
Death: January 13, 1937
Place: Port Arthur, Jefferson County, TX
Burial: Greenlawn Cemetery, Port Arthur, TX
Father's Name: John R. Webb
Mother's Name: Fannie Nickins

Ben worked as a caisson worker for the Union Bridge & Construction Company in Port Arthur. He died of caisson disease (the bends).

The birth date matches and Paris, TN is located in Henry County--the same birth county listed on Ben's WWI Draft Card.

Ben's marital status is listed as unknown. Perhaps an obituary would clarify his family situation?

You can view the actual death certificate on the LDS Family Search Pilot Site: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start

Hope this helps. Best wishes in your search! :)
