BLACK, John - Died at his residence in Bentonville, Arkansas on Tuesday, December 24th, 1901 at 2 o'clock p.m., John Black, aged seventy years. Funeral services were held at the family residence on Wednesday, December 25th, 1901 at 3 o'clock p.m., interment taking place immediately after services in the Odd Fellows cemetery under the auspices of the Masonic order. "The good die young," the poet tells and 'tis true. Another says "How long we live not years but actions tell," and so Uncle John at the age of seventy years, was o'er young to die, for the world has need of such as he. He was that noblest work of God, an honest man. Not only in a pecuniary sense but honest with his fellowman, with himself and with his God. He lived his life simply, honorably, nobly, doing good whene'er the opportunity arose. The news of his death cast a sad influence over all the Christmas festivities and in many homes the theme on Christmas day was the life and character of "Uncle"John Black.
