The funeral services of the late Frederick H. Black who passed Sunday, April 6, 1924, were held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of his sister, Mrs. Chester H. Smith, on East Vine street. Fred was born September 5, 1850 to George H Black and Sarah (Buttery) Black at West Carlisle, Ohio. A very large attendance of the old friends of the family and the deceased came to pay their last tributes of love and respect to his memory.

The services were conducted by Rev. H. G. McClusky, pastor of the First Presbyterian church and in the services the pastor spoke words of comfort to the members of the bereaved family circle. The male quartet, composed of George L. Farley, Rev. McClusky, Frank A. Cloidt and Dr. R. P. Westover, sang a number of the old loved hymns during the services and at the conclusion the body was tenderly borne to Oak Hill cemetery where it was consigned to the last long rest.

The pallbearers were selected from among the old time friends, being George B. Mann, Drury Graves, Frank Claus, William Schmidtmann, Edward Fitzgerald and George Tartsch.
