James Fletcher Black Passes Away at Home, 1947
A good citizen has gone from our midst in the passing of James Fletcher Black. Death came to him at his home Thursday night, August 7, at 8 o'clock following a long period of illness. During the time of confinement he received the best of care that loving hands could administer.
He was the son of Dr. John S. and Ann Tremble [handwritten: Nora Kennedy] Black, and was born at Mount Pleasant November 11, 1877, and was in sixty-ninth year.
Coming to Honey Grove in early life he was associated with his brother, L. B. Black, in the drug business, under the firm name of Black & Black. He later was engaged in the insurance business and in 1926 took an office in the Signal-Citizen office, where he carried on the duties until his health failed. His association with us during the long period of years caused a deep friendship.
He was married to Miss Mable Walcott on October 6, 1901, who survives, with six sons: Walcott S. Black, Dallas; O. K. Black, M. G. Black, San Antonio; James Black, Dallas; Harry Black, Austin; and John Black, Honey Grove.
One brother also survives, L. B. Black, Fayetteville, Ark.
Mr. Black was a member of the Presbyterian church, the Masonic bodies, and served Honey Grove in the capacity of mayor for two terms, 1924-1928.
Graveside services were held Friday evening, 7 o'clock at Oakwood Cemetery, conducted by Rev. Jesse A. Iwig, Presbyterian minister.
Pallbearers were Lester Cappleman, Dallas; Frank Canon, Gainsville; Walter Vaughan, Bonham; Dan Baker, Albert Rutherford and Wash Underwood.
Honorary pallbearers were Jewell Little, L. A. Dowlen, P. F. Huffman, Dallas; Dr. J. J. Cappleman, H. L. Ballew, A. G. Adams, Robert Pyron, J. B. Little, S. M. Lane, H. L. Thompson, Honey Grove.
Out-of-town friends who were here for the last rites, outside of the immediate family, were Mrs. B. C. Epperson, Mrs. J. E. Little, Dallas; M. J. Neeley, Fort Worth; R. M. Biggers, Lubbock; and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wood, Sulphur Springs.
