==========
Black, Ralph W., brother of last above subject (William Wallace Black), was born at the same place (Monroeville, Huron county, Ohio) August 26, 1849. He was therefore in his sixteenth year when he came here with his father. At the same of his father's enlistment he also engaged in the service as a drummer. As soon as he was fairly located at the seat of war he became anxious to carry a gun. In order to gain this end he kicked in the heads of the drum, for which he was incarcerated in the guardhouse. On his release, however, he was given a gun and carried it till his discharge.
