In 1841, when a lad of some eleven summers, he accompanied his parents to Brown County, Ill., and thence came to Jefferson County, Iowa, in May, 1844. He was reared to farm life and received his education in the common schools of the neighborhood. When he had reached man's estate he was united in marriage September 11, 1856, with Miss Rachel STEVER, daughter of Adam and Elizabeth STEVER. She was born in Huntingdon County, Pa., on the 15th of April, 1833, and is the fifth in a family of twelve children. Her father was also a native of Huntingdon County, but her mother was born in Hunterdon County, N.J. They came to Iowa in 1844, and are therefore numbered among its early settlers. Unto Mr. and Mrs. BLACK has been born a family eight children, seven of whom are yet living -- Alletta, now the widow of W. T. HUNT, resides with her father; Moses F. is an insurance agent of Fairfield; Bessie P. and John F. are at home; Samuel died at the age of a year and a half; Nanie G. is the wife of F. K. LAUGHLIN, of Locust Grove Townshp; Joseph Guy and Robert Roy complete the family. For some years Mr. BLACK lived upon the old home and in connection with its cultivation operated a sawmill, but later he removed to near Libertyville. In 1861, he came to Fairfield and for three years was employed as a clerk but in February, 1865, he resumed milling which he has since continued to the present time. For the past twelve years he has also been a bridge builder for Jefferson County. In 1865, he removed to Locust Grove Township and two years later to his present place of residence and now owns a farm of about four hundred acres. He is a Republican in politics and himself and family are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. By his extensive purchase of timber, he has done more to improve and develop the county than any other man in this region. Mr. BLACK is widely and favorably known and is generally esteemed for his thorough integrity, industry and enterprise.
