Now as I turned the pages on this old worn out paper, it further reads:
George D. Black, a life long resident of Rockingham County and the Father of Constable George R. Black, of the Central District, died at his home in Keezletown at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after an illness of 8 months of stomach trouble.
His death had been almost momentarily expected for 48 hours prior to the end.
Mr. Black was born December 15, 1835, at Peale's Cross Roads, within two miles of the village in which his death occurred.
He is survived by his wife, who was Miss. Elizabeth J. Propst, and the following children, Arch and C.H. Black, Keezletown, J.C. Black, a conductor on the Chesapeake Western who lives in Elkton, and Constable George R. Black, Harrisonburg, He also leaves a twin brother, Charles O. Black, a resident of Keezletown, whose resemblance to the deceased was so striking that few persons knew the two apart. He leaves also a sister, Mrs. Mattie Adams, of Brown county, Kansas.
Mr. Black was a Confederate veteran, he having done faithful service during the Civil War, a member of the First Virginia Cavalry. Although never accumulating any great amount of this world's goods, he was a man of mark and influence in the vicinity of his home and numbered among his friends large circle of acquaintances.
He was an attendant upon and contributor to the Presbyterian church.
The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from the Methodist church at Keezletown. The services will be conducted by Rev. George L. Brown, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Peale's Cross Roads, assisted by Rev. Frazier Furr, the Methodist minister at Keezletown.
