The Marietta Journal  March 24, 1904
After a long illness Mr Lemuel BLACK died at this home on Roswell street on last
Saturday afternoon at five o'clock.  He was 75 years and one day of age.

Mr BLACK was one of Marietta's most prominent business men and had conducted a
sash and door factory and lumber business and building contractor in the city
for nearly forty years.

He came here before the war, married here and raised a family.  His life has
been one of uprightness and industry.  He has always thrown his influence on the
side of morailty, (sic) sobriety and religion, seeking to advance every good
cause.  He was in former years a steward in the Methodist church, and at the
time of his death was a Trustee of that church.  His death is deeply regretted
by our people.

He leaves a wife, three sons and one daughter - Messrs Joe J BLACK, W Jordan
BLACK, and Tennent BLACK, and Mrs George GRIFFIN and other relatives.

His funeral was held at the Methodist church on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
conducted by his pastor, Rev Fletcher WALTON, assisted by Rev S B LEDBETTER and
Rev V E MANGET.

He was a prominent Mason and was buried with the honors of that order.

His remains rest in the city cemetery.

Our sympathy is extended to the bereaved family.
