Mr. Black had a few moments before walked from the table where he had eaten breakfast to a chair in the dining room. He picked up a paper to read. The end came suddenly and without warning.

Although he had been in poor health for some time and physicians held out no hope of ultimate recovery his passing was a shock to the family and many friends.

He came with his parents from Warren county and located in the Woodburn community where he spent the remainder of his life. A few weeks ago he disposed of his personal property, and came to Osceola with Mrs. Black to reside for a time with his son, E. H. until permanent plans were made for the future. Mr. Black was well known and leaves many friends to mourn his passing.
