of tuberculosis, aged 40 years.  For many years Mr. Black followed the

northern Bedford and southern Blair counties, selling the same in the markets in 
Altoona.  He was obliged to retire from active work two or more years ago on 
account of impaired health.  Deceased was twice married, first to Miss Walter, 
now deceased, and after her death to Miss Lingenfelter, who survives.  Four 
children to the second union survive him.  He is also survived by one brother, 
Reuben Black, of Sarah Furnace, and two sisters, Mrs. Clayton Walter of 
Claysburg, and another sister residing in Altoona.  He was a son of Samuel 
Black, who was killed in a flouring mill in Bedford county in 1881.  He was a 
member of the Lutheran church and the Claysburg lodge of the Independent Order 
of Odd Fellows.  The funeral services were conducted in the Claysburg Lutheran 
church on Monday morning at 10 o'clock.  Interment in the adjoining cemetery.
