LUCY BLACK

Mrs. Lucy Black, who lived in her home in Magnet that she might be near 
her children, was taken sick three weeks ago with troubles usual to people 
in advance years and passed away February 19th aged 74 years, 3 months and 
24 days.

Her sons and daughter who lived near were with her constantly and all that 
loving care could do, these faithful children performed for their mother. 
Neighbors who have been her acquaintances for years called to extend their 
sympathy and to offer any help needed.

Thus a long and useful life gently and quietly passed away, leaving a host 
of friends and neighbors to mourn their loss besides the immediate family 
that have meant so much to her.

The Funeral services were held Sunday at the Christian Church of Magnet 
where she has been a consistent member for twenty-five years, having joined 
the church and received her baptism into Christ in December 1902.

Lucy Tedrow was born in Athens county Ohio, October 26, 1851. Her parents 
bought her to Mt. Pleasant, Henry county Iowa in 1854. She was married to 
Samuel Black September 16, 1869. They moved to Randolph in 1891 and have 
lived in the vicinity of Randolph and Magnet ever since. Her husband, 
Samuel died March 9, 1911 and was laid to rest in the Magnet Cemetery.

She leaves two sons and three daughters; Harlan Black of Holt county; Ross 
Black of McLean, Mrs. Mel Furness of Magnet, Mrs. Walter Jones of Bloomfield 
and Mrs. Carl Jones of Magnet. 34 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren 
and a sister, Mrs. William White.
