Hollis Webster (1862-1941) married Helen Maria Noyes (1872-1949) in 1903. He graduated from Harvard (1884) and taught at Roxbury Latin School and Browne and Nichols School. Although he was offered a chance to teach at Harvard, for financial reasons he decided to take a position at Manter Hall School in Cambridge, where he taught Latin, Greek, German, French and Spanish. He was founder and first secretary of the Boston Mycological Club. Helen Maria Noyes Webster attended Vassar (1895-96) and Radcliffe (1897-98) colleges. Like her husband an ardent botanist, she was president of the Herb Society of America, the author of Herbs, How to Grow Them and How to Use Them (1933), and wrote and lectured widely on the subject. They had six children and lived in Lexington, Massachusetts.
