Webster, Alonzo, d. 1887.
Methodist Episcopal clergyman. Alonzo Webster was born in Vermont, and in 1865 was appointed by Bishop Baker to assist the Rev. T.W. Lewis, a missionary working in Charleston, South Carolina. Webster ministered to black Methodists who wanted their own church, and represented a group of former slaves (former members of Trinity Methodist Church) in negotiations to buy a church building on Wentworth Street. This building became the home of the Centenary United Methodist Church of Charleston, S.C.
