OK, this is a bit older info, but interesting nonetheless.
The December 26, 2007 Van Wert Ohio Times Bulletin had an article about Webb's which was located at the corner of Lincoln Highway and Convoy-Heller Road north of Convoy. It was also once the intersection of US-30 and State Route 49.
It operated from 1946-1966 as Webb's Hi-Speed Service Station, Restaurant and Tourist Cabins. Larry Webb's parents and grandparents owned and operated it. The pumps and tourist cabins are gone, but the restaurant building is still there, but is now a private residence. The garage building also remains.
The business was originally started around 1931 by the Noah Poling family.
Larry's parents, Myron and Jenny Webb, and grandparents Harry and Ola Wherry bought it in 1946 and all four, as well as Larry and his sister Becky, lived in the restaurant building.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
