  FRANK L. BLACK, farmer, Alexandria, Huntingdon county, Pa., son of 
James and Anna (Laird) Black, was born in Porter township, February 10, 
1860. He was educated in the common schools of his native place, and 
has since always given his attention to farming, to which pursuit he 
was trained from early boyhood. He is a Republican, but has never 
desired political preferment, finding it best to devote his whole 
attention to his farming interests. Since his marriage, he has resided 
on his present farm, of 300 acres, on which he has built a convenient 
dwelling and a good barn, besides making extensive improvements in the 
way of constructing fences, setting out orchards, etc.
  Frank L. Black was married at Yellow Springs, Blair county, Pa., 
November 10, 1892, to Elizabeth, daughter of Enoch and Kate (Shaffer) 
Isenberg. Their children are: Freda A.; Ethel May; and an infant not 
named at this writing. Mr. Black is a member of the Reformed church at 
Huntingdon, Pa. He enjoys the confidence and esteem of his neighbors 
and acquaintances.
