as soon as was expected, and a second
operation was decided upon. This was
performed on Tuesday. Immediately
after this an improvement was noted,
and it was thought that the patient
would recover. Last night, however,
his condition became aggravated. His
physicians then gave up hope of his
recovery.
Jere S. Black always took great in
terest in Pennsylvania politics, and
was credited with being the one man
responsible for the reorganization of
the Democratic party in the State. He
organized the Bryan League in 1908,
with the assistance of Roland Morris
and other party men, and, as its first
president and national delegate, sue
ceeded in having the Old Guard dele
gates unseated in the Denver conven-
ton after their victory in the State
and the State delegation given to
Bryan.
Financial Reverses
While he enjoyed the most extern
sive and lucrative practice of any
member of the York bar Mr. Blacks
investments in industrial and other
propositions were not of the best, and
he became financially embarrass ssed.
Tuesday, July 8, 1910, he filed a petit
llOll VI NOluntdTN Ill lllS
United States District Court at Scran-
ton. His liabilities were scheduled at
S429,000 and his assets at S274,745.50.
OF the former $297, 1886 represented
the amount he borrowed from banks
and individuals, while the remainder
aggregated the amount of notes he
indorsed for corporations and indi-
viduals.
Mr.. Black was married in 1891 to
Isabel, daughter of Frederick Edwin
Church, New York City. Four chill
dren were born to the union, as fol-
lows: Mary, Isabel. Louise and Jere-
miah S. Mrs. Blacks father was q
noted artist.
Soon after their marriage, Mr.. and
Mrs. Black took up their residence
at Willow Bridges. the former home
of his parents. In 1903 they erected
a handsome residence near the sum-
NIT of Webb's Hill, south of York. and
called 1t Rural Felicity, at which many
brilliant social functions have been
held.
