Death claimed a truly great woman Tuesday afternoon when Mrs. Emma L. Black died at the age of 94 in her home here at 5:15 o'clock, Aug. 10th. Funeral services were held at 4:00 p.m. Wednesday in the Dew Methodist Church with Rev. W. J. Williamson, pastor of the Teague Methodist Church, and Rev. McCombs, pastor of the Fairfield Methodist Church officiating.
Burial was in the Dew Cemetery, with Ham Brothers Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
Mrs. Black was born July 8th, 1860 in Trinity county, near Lovelady. She came to Texas at the age of 6 with her family, who settled at Dew, where she lived until moving to Teague with a daughter, Miss Maggie Black, at the death of her husband.

Mrs. Black, an outstanding Christian, was a charter member of the Dew Methodist Church. She was reared during the reconstruction period and had no chance of education but began studying with her child when he entered school and continued her studies of history, English, geography and literature, checking with the dictionary in her lap until the youngest graduated, her education exceeded any of her 10 children.
She was a Bible scholar and believed that the King James Version was the only correct version of the Bible. She loved it and what it stood for more than her own life.
She had a keen sense of humor which turned what could have been tragedies into mere incidents in the rearing of her family.
She has left a wonderful heritage to her family and friends.
Those surviving are eight children, Mrs. L. L. Eubanks, of Snyder; R. C. Black, Mrs. J. G. Smith and Mrs. R. J. Willett, and Mrs. A. S. Black all of Dew; Mrs. H. E. Lane. Fairfield; Miss Maggie Black and Earl Black, Teague. She is also survived by 28 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchildren, 12 great great-grandchildren.
The pallbearers were the grandsons.
