DEATH OF S.T. BLACK

Samuel T. Black died last Tuesday, the 9th at his home in Magnet, aged 
64 years. For several years Mr. Black had been in poor health and for 
about a year was a sufferer from Bright’s disease. His last sickness was 
of but four days duration when the end came peacefully.

S.T. Black was born August 11, 1846, in Henry County, Iowa, with his 
family he came to the vicinity of Randolph a number of years ago and 
settled on a farm. Here his family grew to maturity and he at last 
left the farm when his health failed and moved to Magnet. Deceased was 
an honorable man, a good neighbor and a kind and indulgent man in his 
family. This editor knew him for over ten years and always found him 
faithful and loyal. So far as we know, he had not an enemy in the world. 
He was a devoted Odd Fellow and loved the order of which he had been a 
member for many years.

Besides his sorrowing wife, he leaves two sons and five daughters to morn, 
beside a host of friends. The funeral was in charge of the Magnet Odd Fellow 
lodge, and was held last Saturday from the Magnet church, Rev. Miller 
preaching the discourse.
