WILLIAM A. BLACK The life history of William Black, Cadiz Township farmer, reverts back to Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he was born November 29, 1874, a son of William and Lucinda (McKissick) Black. The mother was born in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. She is a daughter of Henry and Lucinda McKissick. Mr. Black bears the name of his grandfather, William Black, who was a contractor in eastern Pennsylvania.
As a young man William Black, Sr. entered the army as a Civil war soldier. He was out three years in the heavy artillery a part of the time stationed at Fortress Monroe. After the war he farmed in Clarion County and in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. He died in Lawrence County, March 17, 1876, and his wife died there July 26, ten year later. Their children were George M., who died March 2, 1903, John H., Samuel P., David H., Frank L., Marian, and Edmond R. [and William Albert].
As a young man in Pennsylvania Mr. Black [William Albert] attended public school in Lawrence and Fayette counties. When he settled into business for himself it was as a driller and contractor in the oil fields of Pennsylvania, and he continued operations there until 1917 when he came to the farm in Cadiz Township, Harrison County, that he bought as an investment four years previously. There are 222 acres in the farmstead and besides remodeling the farm building he built a modern house for himself and family.
While Mr. Black had been a mechanic in the Pennsylvania oil fields, he has settled into the methods of a thrifty farmer in Harrison County. The farm improvements are of the best, and he is engaged in general farming and livestock production. He is a breeder of thoroughbread Jersey cattle, and has plenty of pasture for them.
On August 28, 1894, Mr. Black married Lillian M. Hibbs, of Fairview, West Virginia.

The deceased is a native of Clarion County, PA. He was formerly associated with his brother here as a drilling contractor in oil and gas fields of this section.
