General Notes: Husband - John Black

---

After leaving the common schools he turned his attention to farming and all his life was engaged in the pursuits of agriculture. He resided near Irwin, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, until March, 1882, when he removed to Salem township where he had purchased a farm in the Grapeville gas belt. On this farm he had three producing wells. He was a member of the New Salem Presbyterian church in which he was an elder and was recognized as a man of far more than ordinary piety. Honest, industrious and persevering, charitable in spirit, liberal in his views and decided in his convictions.
