"J.W. BLACK, AGED RESIDENT, IS DEAD"
"Veteran of Allegheny Township Expires at His Home Following an Extended Illness"
"Jeremiah W. Black, one of the oldest residents of Allegheny township and for years justice of the peace at Canan Station, died at his home yesterday afternoon at 1:45 o'clock following an extended illness. Death was due to diseases incident to advanced years. Mr. Black was born near the site of his late home and spent his entire life in the community."
Mr. Black for a number of years had led a retired life but was quite active in politics in his home territory and was instrumental several years ago in the establishment of a new voting district in Allegheny township, the Fourth, located in the Canan Station section. He was appointed the first judge of elections when the new district was formed.
Born June 20, 1846, on what is known as the George Stiffler farm, adjoining the Sixth avenue road and near the late home of Mr. Black, the aged resident lived all his life in the immediate vicinity. He was the sixth and youngest son of Jacob and Mary Black and was one of a family of nine children. Mr. Black is the last member of his immediate family.
Early in life Mr. Black engaged in farming and assisted his father. He was married Jan. 14, 1886, to Miss Kate Shaffer of Somerset county, his wife having died June 20, 1903. One son was born to this union, Harry S. Black, who survives and is a resident of Canan Station. There are five grandchildren, Louis, William, Martha, Sarah and Edith. Mr. Black was a member of the First Lutheran church of this city.
Always a staunch Republican in politics Mr. Black has never missed a single opportunity to cast his ballot for a presidential candidate since his first vote was cast for President Grant. He had been justice of the peace in the township for the past forty-one years.
Funeral services will be held at the house tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, interment to follow in the Black and Riling cemetery near Eldorado."
