life Herbert A. Black, only son of the late
Benz. T. and Mary Durham Black. Born
and reared in the massive Old structure that
sheltered his grandfather, Jonathan Dur

foundation of the house itself. A pleasant
word, an interest in all good that came to
his friends and acquaintances, readiness
to help others to the extent of his power,
and a heart that warmed at JOY and SORROW
ed at distress, constituted but small part
of his virtues. He was married in 1908 to

Henry J. Chaples of this city. A loving
husband and father, an exemplary citizen
and successful farmer, he will be missed in
