Ionia Sentinel-Thurs. April 11, 1889

INSTANTLY KILLED
William Black, a former resident of Ionia, was instantly killed at E. K. Wood's
mill, three miles north from Lakeview, on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Black was foreman and engineer
for Mr. Wood and was assisting to raise a smoke-stack at the mill, when the tackle broke
and the stack fell, striking him across the breast and breaking his neck. The remains
were brought to the city Monday morning by County Clerk Place, who went from here Sunday
for that purpose, and the funeral was held from the residence of his brother, Robert
Black, at Prairie Creek, Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock.

A detail of Wm. H. Borden Post, G.A.R. consisting of Commander D. L. Nash , Officer
of the Day Jennings, Quartmaster Williams, and Comrades Fowle, Brookins, Munger, Giles and
Eager, attended the funeral of William Black on Tuesday. He was a veteran of the
Thirty Third New York Volunteers. Rev. A. M. Gould officiated. The interment was at
Highland Park.
