The funeral was in charge of Bishop Don C. Wixom of Fillmore 2nd Ward. The choir rendered beautiful music and solo and quartet numbers by Mrs. Stella Day, Katherine Rasmussen, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Carling and Edward Nelson.

Maxfield, President of the Board of Education of Millard County; Joseph F. Anderson, Principal of Millard County High School and A.A. Hinckley, President of the Deseret Stake. Benediction was pronounced by President John Beckstrand. Interment was at the Fillmore cemetery and a large cortege followed the body. The casket was bedded in profuse floral display. Many beautiful wreaths were sent from out of town.

He was born in Kane County, 61 years ago and as a small boy was taken by his father, Bishop Joseph S. Black and the family to Deseret in Millard County. In his youth with his father, he was engaged in construction work and in his early teens he spent months from home helping to construct the Union Pacific Railroad. He spent his life in Millard County engaged in civil affairs, having served the city of Fillmore in numerous capacities. He was known as a leader in every community movement and particularly along agricultural lines.
In 1885 he was married to Birdie S. Robison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin H. Robison and this union has continued for more the 40 years and twelve children have been born, ten of whom survive their father, Dr. Benjamin W.
