Black was born November 6, 1842, in Rutherford County, Tenn., and died in Searcy, Ark., November 24, 1906, from the effects of a paralytic stroke received a few months previous. When the Civil War broke out, he in listed as a private in Capt. John McCauley's company, made up at Searcy, Ark., and which became a part of the Arkansas Regiment commanded by the gallant R. G. (Bob) Shaver. While camped at Bowling Green, Ky., young Black was afflicted seriously with measles. He became so feeble that he was (honorably) discharged from the service.
Soon after returning to his home he reenlisted in Capt. Will Hicks's company of cavalry, made up in White County. Ark., which company was on detached service for several months, during which time some severe engagements were had, the battle of Whitney's Lane being one of the worst. It resulted in a great victory, numbers considered. Captain Black was a participant. After several months of this character of service, the company was attached to the 32d Arkansas Regiment, the last volunteer regiment raised in the State. Said regiment served in Dandridge McRae's Brigade, of the Trans Mississippi Department, Gen. T. C. Hindman commanding. Black attained to the rank of sergeant major of the regiment. He was in the battles of Prairie Grove and of Helena, Ark. When Little Rock fell into the hands of the Federals, he was inside the lines on furlough. He then reported to Gen. T. H. McCray, who was organizing a brigade in North Arkansas, He, in connection with Capt. T. B. Mosely, organized a company, and a short while after its organization he resigned and Black was elected captain. This company was attached to the 48th Arkansas Cavalry Regiment, which made the famous Missouri raid. Captain Black and his company were in its every engagement.
No truer or more gallant soldier ever lived. He took an active part in the political affairs of his county, filling the positions of Alderman, Treasurer, and Mayor of his little city, also sheriff of his county for several years. He was Adjutant of Walker McRea Camp of Confederate Veterans and Adjutant General and Chief of Staff of Gen. R. R. Poe's 3d Arkansas Brigade, U. C. V. Best of all, he was a Christian, a member of the Baptist Church from early boyhood, being loyal and faithful to his profession.
