Webster is an unincorporated community in Fountain Green Township, Hancock County, Illinois, United States.
[2] The Perkins family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1839, responding to the teaching of Joel H. Johnson.
In July 1840 a stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized giving the place the name of Ramus.
Johnson set about promoting the town to Mormons elsewhere as a worthwhile place with plenty of surrounding agricultural land and a growing settlement.
Today the Webster Community Church, built in 1897, occupies the site of this early Latter Day Saint meetinghouse.
