Well Known Army Officer Died Suddenly in His
Apartments in Oklahoma City Of Heart
Disease Saturday Night.
GAINED MUCH MILITARY DISTINCTION
Was Retired Under Thirty Year Law Three Years
Ago and Since Was Doing National Guard
Service in Oklahoma.

Major William Black, retired army
officer and for three years in charge
of the weather bureau in Keokuk,
died very suddenly of heart disease
in his hotel at Oklahoma City, Okla,
Saturday night. The body will be
brought to Keokuk Wednesday and a
military funeral will be held Thurs
day afternoon.
kilograms announcing the death OF
Major Black were received at the
home of William N. Sage, a nephew,
Sunday afternoon. One was from E. S.
Bisbee, formerly of Keokuk, who wir-
ed that Major Black had been found
dead in his chair. Mr.. Bisbee called
Major Black over the telephone about
5 o'clock in the evening and the lat
ter was not feeling we'll at the time.
A second telegram came from Olive
c. Clark, secretary of the Elks, and Is
third from Adjutant General F. M.
Canton.
At the time of his death Major
Black was doing duty with the or
gained militia of Oklahoma, to which
service he had been designated by the
secretary of war more than three
years ago. He was sixty-one years OF
age.
Major Black had a wide experience
in the army service. He served in
the signal service for number of
years, later was stationed in the
Philippines and in Cuba. His SER
vices as an army officer called him
three-quarters of the way around the
globe from Flum, Austria to China
Il and Japan. He was one of the few
4 men in the army service who amass-
ed small fortune during his life
WORK.
Born Near Keokuk.
Major William Black was born and
reared on farm about six miles west
of Keokuk at what was then known al
Blacks school house. His sister,
Mrs James Sims still resides on the
old homestead. For several years as
a boy he was engaged in the wealth.
err bureau service, residing here when
the service was established. July Is,
1874 he succeeded Sergeant T. S. Col
Inns in charge of the Keokuk bureau.
Until August %, 1877, he remained
here From Keokul1 Major Black went
to the government station at Pixies
Peak, then the highest permanent
residence in the world. There was a
very large amount of very delicate
apparatus to be put on the mountain
by pack animals, for observation of a
total eclipse of the sun. and in this
work he received the favorable con
sideration of General Myer, chief OF
the bureau at that time.
Experience on Pixies Peak.
Major Black, while in reminiscent
mood, could relate many personal ex
periences of his Pixies Peak service
Almost every day, travellers caught in
the snow, sleet and rain storms Of
the mountain would knock at his door
and ask permission to thaw them
selves out or dry their rain soaked
clothes. How Major Black saved the
lives of two young women is told by
one of his Keokuk acquaintance. II

Islands in 1902 after long leave,
the major was assigned to the general
depot of recruits and casuals at San
Francisco. This work was exacting
and difficult on account of so many
troops being transferred to and from
the Islands

Efficient Service Recognized.
Major Blacks service in the Phil
ippines excited considerable admira-
ton on the part of high army officers
and later he was asked to accept SER
vice in Cuba. This service came one
year after his retirement, which was
in 1905. under the thirty year law.
Major Black was in Keokuk at the
time this telegram came from the war
department, and in few days he was
bound for Cuba. This was a position
to which he was peculiarly adapted on
account of his sound common sense,
his acuteness and the difficulty of fool
ing him; also he was well grounded in
jurisprudence, not only Anglo-Saxon,
but also that growing out of the code
of courts martial and boards in Ha-
vana. He came home on his own re
quest.
In his latest field in the state OF
Oklahoma, Major Black was called
upon to pass upon many matters re-
lating to organized militia and neces-
sarily became man Of wide public
acquaintance and affairs.
Saw in keokuk Future Home.
Born near Keol1uk and having many
close friends here, it was Major
Blacks desire to return to this city
some time in the near future to make
permanent residence with his
nephew, William N. Sage. Major
Black was man Of strong personality
| His long experience in the army ser
vice, his constant contact with bic
men of the country and his extensive
travels combined to make him unusual
ly interesting and entertaining.
The surviving relatives are three
sisters, Mrs James o. Sims, residing
on the old Black homestead Mrs
John Haisch of Coin, Iowa, and Mrs
Thomas McCleary of Centralia, Wash.
more distant relatives are the children
of the three living sisters and of Mrs
o. C. Sage, and Mrs. Thomas O'Blen
ness, deceased sisters, and of James
Black and Henry Black, deceased
brothers.
The military funeral will be held
from the Sage home at 2::3o O'Clock
Thursday afternoon. Captain Franl
Hebron of the Iowa National Guards
is making arrangements.
