General Notes: Husband - George Black


He obtained his education in the district schools and remained on the home farm until he was fourteen years of age, after which he worked on neighboring farms until he was eighteen years old, when he commenced to farm for himself. He selected a desirable tract of fifty-seven acres, situated in South Mahoning township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, near Plumville, on which he settled after purchasing, and there carried on general farming until 1905, a period of sixteen years, when he came to Wayne township, Armstrong County. Here he bought a small tract from Andrew Brim and J. L. Cochran and remained there until 1906, when he moved to another place, which was the old Wesley Pontius farm, later known as the Caldwell tract. It contained 125 acres and was situated near Dayton, Pennsylvania. Here he devoted his attention to general agriculture. While living in Indiana County he took a great deal of interest in the stock business and raised such fine Aberdeen Angus cattle that for twenty years he generally carried off the first prizes when he exhibited his herds at the fairs of Indiana, Armstrong, Butler, Jefferson, Clarion and Clearfield counties.
He was a member of the Glade Run Presbyterian Church. In politics he was a Republican.
