ROSS BLACK, 53
CALLED BY DEATH

Ross Black, 53, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Mr. 
Black had been in failing health for some time and for the past six 
months his condition from a fatal disease was considered serious. 
Because of failing health, Mr. Black held a farm sale a month ago and 
just two weeks before his death moved to the home he had purchased in 
Magnet. He was in Randolph last week Wednesday and greeted friends.

Mr. Black was an upright, conscientious Christian gentleman. He had 
worked hard, managed well and owned the farm near McLean on which he 
had lived in this vicinity for more than 30 years.

Ross Black was born in Iowa, January 31, 1880.

Besides his wife, who had been his helpmate all these years, he leaves 
three sons and one daughter; Ray and Howard of McLean, Earl at home and 
Mrs. Albert Barltett of Magnet. He also leaves three sisters and one 
brother, Mrs. Annie Jones and Mrs. Geneva Furness of Magnet, Mrs. Pearl 
Jones of Bloomfield and Harlan Black of Spencer.

Funeral services will be held at the house at Magnet Friday afternoon at 
2 o’clock, conducted by John Good. Burial  will be in the Magnet cemetery.
