Belding Banner-News, 18 Aug 1898

Allen Black’s Death.

Allen Black, who for the past year has been gradually failing in health from
consumption, died at the residence of Mrs. Hunt Sunday night, passing away
peacefully.  He was born in Ohio in 1861 and was 36 years old.  He came to
Belding about seven years ago and entered the employ of the Belding Mfg. Co.,
and was shipping clerk for several years, continuing with the company when it
changed to the Belding Hall Mfg. Co. until unable to work.  He lost his wife
about a year and a half ago, leaving the care of two bright little girls to him,
and now by his death they are made orphan.

To the ladies, Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Hunt, where he boarded belong much praise for
their care and kindness to him during his long illness.  He was a member of the
Modern Woodman lodge of this city and they cheerfully rendered such assistance
as was in their power, the burial service being also under their auspices
Wednesday, about fifty attending in a body.  Many floral offerings were placed
on the casket.  Rev. O.J. Golden conducted the service assisted by Rev. R.A.
McConnell.  The deceased’s mother from Ohio and a brother-in-law, John A. Mann,
of St. Louis, were present.  He leaves an insurance from the order of Woodmen
for $2,000.
