Black, July 25, 1912

Dr. J. S. Black was born in Fayette County, Georgia, March 28, 1845, and departed for heaven from Lannius, Texas, June 12, 1912.

He and his brothers were among the first to volunteer for service in the Confederate army, where he served faithfully in the Thirteenth Alabama infantry, until the surrender of Lee. At the close of the war he studied medicine and began his practice at Lineville, Clay County, Alabama.

He was married to Miss Nora B. Kennedy December 22, 1870.

To them were born three sons and one daughter.

The youngest son died November 18, 1900, and the two older boys live in Honey Grove, Texas, and the only daughter lives in Dodd City, Texas.

Dr. Black came to Texas in 1878 and located in Titus County, where he resided until 1901, when he moved to Fannin County, first to Honey Grove and afterward to Lannius.

He professed religion in the grove meeting when about 13 years of age and joined the M. E. Church, South. Dr. Black was loved and respected by all who knew him. He was a kind and affectionate father, a devoted husband, and an honored citizen. He was one of the best men I ever knew. It was his ambition to be faithful in every relation of life - to God, to man and his country. He was indeed a Christian gentleman and was faithful as a steward. He loved the Church. His deeds of mercy as a physician and Christian were many. A truly good and great man has gone. The Church will miss him, the sick and suffering will miss him, society will miss him, and his loved ones will miss him. May the providence of God hover over Sister Black and the three children, and may they all so live that they can meet him in glory.

Sister Black will reside with her daughter, Mrs. Pennack, at Dodd City, Texas. Good-bye Dr. Black, but, thank God, not forever.

His former pastor and friend,
J. R. Atchley
