CHARLES A. BLACK (deceased) was born near Six-Mile Ferry, Allegheny Co., in 1845, a son of HAMILTON and REBECCA (COX) BLACK. In 1853 the family moved to Patton Twp., and twenty years later to Turtle Creek village. HAMILTON BLACK died in 1876, age 70, and his widow in 1881, in her 58th year. CHARLES A. taught school for some time, and was very successful in teaching the violin, and spent considerable time in literary labors, being a frequent contributor to Demorest’s Magazine. He married ROSE ANN, daughter of DEGERY and NANCY (MYERS) MORCOM, now residents in Westmoreland Co. In 1877 MR. BLACK opened a general store on Church St., Turtle Creek; in 1887 he was compelled by failing health to sell out his stock, and death closed a useful life on the 10th of January 1888. He is survived by a widow and three children: JENNIE MABEL, CHARLES ASHLEY and WILLIAM NOBLE.
