Jackson Black, one of the county's oldest pioneer citizens, passed to his final reward on Tuesday, July 17, 1906, at the home of his son, Winfield Black, in Parker township near the old home where he first settled when he came to the county in 1866.
Mr. Black first came to the county in 1854 and purchased a small farm in Parker. He then returned to Ohio and in the autumn of 1866 he brought his family here and had remained a citizen of the county ever since. He was born in Rowan county, North Carolina, on February 13, 1812, and has thus attained the advanced age of 94 years, 5 months and ?2 days. When our subject was only one year old his mother died and his father married again, and gave him and his little sister into the care of of others. Shortly after this his grandmother "bound" him to J. P. Coldron of Rowan county, North Carolina, with whom he had a home until he became twenty-one years of age. He then went to Louisana where he spent two years cutting cord wood for the steamboats that then plied the Mississippi river. From there he went to Cincinnati where he was later married to Rebecca Gray, the marriage being celebrated on August 9, 1847. Of this union there were born nine children. Three children, Henry C., Mary E., and Rose M., died in their youth. The other six children are still living. His wife died on December 6, 1893, and since then he had lived with his children who made his last years a time of ease and comfort, lovingly ministering to his every want. His death is mourned by four sons, two daughters, twenty grandchildren, seventeen great grandchildren and many other relatives and friends.
Mr. Black had lived a long and useful life and had done his part well. He had been honorable and upright and always had the respect and confidence of all who knew him.
