PENOBSCOT – Lewis B. Webster, 83, died June 6, 2005, in Blue Hill. He was born April 8, 1922, in Castine, the son of Emery and Mabel (Bowden) Webster. Lewis spent his childhood in Castine before moving to Penobscot. He served in the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II and was a recipient of the Bronze Star for heroism after he and other soldiers blew up a bridge on successive nights in France in 1945 to thwart an approaching German tank column.

Lewis loved to go harness racing, enjoyed duck hunting in his younger years, and greatly enjoyed gardening and had a roadside vegetable stand on the Castine Road for many years.
