General Notes: Husband - George A. Black

---

He acquired a liberal academic course and soon engaged in teaching school. On the opening of the war, he enlisted in Company D, Eleventh Pennsylvania Reserves, and served three years; he read law with Gen. Purviance, and was admitted September 25, 1865. He was a gentleman of excellent character, and soon developed a good legal mind. After practicing his profession in his native county for some time, he removed to Kansas City, MO, where he practiced several years. He finally returned to his native county, somewhat enfeebled in health; he finally died of consumption. [HBC 1883, 69]

He enlisted in Company C, Eleventh Pennsylvania Reserves, June 10, 1861. He was promoted Sergeant, and served in all the campaigns in which his regiment participated. At the battle of Fredericksburg, VA, December 13, 1862, he was wounded and taken prisoner. He was finally mustered out with his company June 13, 1864. [HBC 1883, 431]
