GENEVA FURNESS

Geneva Black Furness was born on January 12, 1882 to Samuel and Lucy 
(Tedro) Black in Henry County Iowa. The Black family moved to the Randolph 
Nebraska area and later moving to Magnet. Geneva married Melvin J. Furness 
the son of Frank Furness in 1911. Six children were born to this union, Dale, 
John, Mildred, Avis, Wanda and Darrell. 

John died of a strep throat infection in 1931 at the age of 17. During the 
1930’s both drought and depression hit the farming communities very hard and 
in August of 1936 the Furness family moved to California. Melvin passed away 
July 17, 1952. Geneva passes away on February 21, 1965 at Los Angeles and her 
body was brought back to be buried next to her husband and son John in the 
Magnet Cemetery.
