Additional Comments:

This was a long obituary written by the Central Methodist Church, and contained a 
lot of information about W. W. Black's ministry. I indicated sentences left out by 
three... From my personal records,this is Letha McDonald, Rev. Black's second 
wife. Their daughter was Vera Black Lawrence.
