Texas, June 12, 1912. He enlisted in Company K, 13th Alabama Regiment of 
Infantry, serving in the Army of the Peninsula at Yorktown. He was in the 
battles of Williamsburg and Seven Pines and all the other battles of his 
regiment except when disabled by wounds. Gettysbug was the only important 
engagement in which he did not take part. He was shot in the left arm at 
Sharpsburg, in the right shoulder at Chancellorsville, in the left foot at the 
Wilderness, and at Petersburg he received a wound in the right arm which put an 
end to his active service. He had three brothers in the confederate service, one 
of whom was killed at Seven Pines by the side of Dr. Black, one was wounded at 
Sharpsburg and died in Texas, and the other was captured at Gettysburg and died 
in prison at Fort Delaware. Dr. Black was of well-rounded Christian character 
and took and active part in everything pertaining to the work ad welfare of his
