A former commander of American Legion Post 29 in Siloam Springs was asked to resign his membership Nov. 10 after Legionnaires learned of his 1994 admission that he molested the child of a member of his church congregation in California.

Dalton Webber, 80, of Siloam Springs had served as chaplain for the state American Legion for three years and was a historian and executive board member of the local post.

“He was our program director for the annual Family Funfest fundraiser,” said Ron Evans, commander for Post 29. “He created a lot of the flyers and tickets for the events. Dalton is a very talented man, but this admission has forced the Legion to distance ourselves from him.”

Evans said Webber served as a liaison between the Legion and the local Boy Scouts.
