Iola, was born in Licking County, Ohio, August 5, 1834, and was reared in Illinois. His father was a farmer. The subject of our sketch also resided for several years in Marion County, Iowa. He came to Allen County in the fall of 1857, and pre-empted 160 acres in the township, on which he resided some fifteen years, after which he moved on to his present farm, which consists of sixty-seven and one-half acres of fine bottom land, nearly all of which is cultivated. Mr. Black raises considerable live stock, making a specialty of Poland-China hogs. During his residence in this State he has been several times in Colorado, engaged in freighting, etc. During the late Rebellion he served in the Kansas State Militia. Mr. Black was married in Anderson County, Kan., February 14, 1864, to Sarah E. Stigenwalt, who died January 5, 1873, leaving one son. Mr. Black was married again at this place, April 2, 1874, to Emma C. Luyster. They have four children. http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/6348120/person/-1306488036 [Milton Irwin, Bertha Rachel, Grace, & Effie Samantha. A daughter, Mary Isabelle, was born in 1883, after this book was published] CONFLICT: There are several questions about the timing of events in the Black family: [1] Esla Orris Black was listed at age 4 in the 1870 Allen Co, Kansas census, and at age 14 in the 1880 Allen Co, Kansas census. He died 2 Aug 1888, at age 22. He was buried in the Geneva Cemetery, Allen Co, Kansas. He may have stayed in Kansas, on his own, or with his mother's family [Stigenwalts]. [2] John J. Black is not listed with the family in the 1880 Fed Census of Allen Co; Emma is listed as the Head of the household, with Esley, 14; Milton, 5; Bertha, 3; and Grace, 1 [Effie and Mary were born after the census]. When asked about this in later years, Aunt Bertha said he might have been hauling freight to Boulder, [or Canon City] Colorado [3] No military record was listed for him in the 1885 Kansas State Census. Records were listed for D. L. Warner and Jasper Heath, both on the same page as the J. J. Black family [4] John & Emma Black moved to California after the Mar 1885 Kansas State Census; Emma filed for divorce, and was awarded custody of her five children, Milton, Bertha, Grace, Effie, and Mary, on 19 Nov 1888. [5] According to family tradition, Milton died in Kansas before the family left Kansas; he was listed at age 5 in the 1880 Federal Census, and age 10 in the 1885 Allen Co. Kansas State Census; he was possibly in Sutter Co, Calif, in 1888 when his parents divorced and his mother was granted custody of him and his sisters; he may have returned to Kansas and lived with one of his aunts, Mary Susan (Luyster) Carnine, or Jennie Bell (Luyster) Bradley. He died 19 Oct 1892 at age 17, and was buried in Geneva Cemetery
