    (from Geocities.com researcher)



    Ellen and John moved to Nebraska in 1880. Ellen had suffered from consumption (tuberculosis) for one year and spent her last summer in the mountains of Colorado to try to improve her health. She apparently knew her time was short as her obituary says she was trying to get her estate settled as soon as possible and sell off her personal property since all their children were under 16. She was a member of the Christian church, having officially joined at age 16.

    News Item



    A little more than a year ago the remains of John D. Gilchrist were brought back from Nebraska for interment. It is a sad duty this week to record the death of his wife at her home near Ashland, Nebraska, December 20, 1895. The father and mother are now both gone, leaving a family of five children the oldest of whom is sixteen years. They were both formerly from this community and the news of Mrs. Gilchrist's death will bring sadness to many hearts. An obituary taken from one

    of the Saunders county Nebraska papers appears in this issue.

    Ellen J. Black was born August 23, 1855, died at her home in Green precinct, Saunders county, Nebraska aged 40 years months and 3 days. May 1, 1877 she was united in marriage to John D. Gilchrist, at North English, Iowa. In 1880 she

    moved with her husband to Nebraska. For nearly a year Mrs Gilchrist suffered with consumption. Last summer was spent in the mountains of Colorado in the hope of to find health but to no avail. She returned and sank rapidly. She hoped to live long enough to settle up her affairs so as to leave her estate in the best possible shape for her children but the grim messenger did not wait for this hope to be realized. She had advertised a sale of her personal property to take place on the 23rd past, but did not live to carry out this plan. Her husband preceded her to the world of spirits about one year and nine months. She leaves five children, all of whom are minors, the oldest being about 16 years of age and the youngest only Six. TwO other children have died. Mrs. Gilchrist was a devout follower of Christ, whom she chose as her Saviour and Guide, when she was sixteen years of age. She found

    her denominational home in the Christian church. The funeral was held at New Hope Church Sunday forenoon. It was the largest funeral ever held at that church. Rev. C. A. Huyck, of Ashland conducted the services. the burial was in Cedar Hill Cemetery. Saunders County, Nebraska paper.

    Notes:

    Benjamin is shown to be farming in the 1870 census in the English Twp of Iowa Co., IA. His wife is shown as Sarah, who apparently is the widow of a Mr. Coles since there are three Cole children in the household. Black children living in the ho household in 1870 include: Ruth (19), Jane (15), Edwin (13), Perry (10), William (8) and Addie (6). Benjamin was active in the early North English Christian Church. He was named as chairman of a meeting discussing the church's finances in 1868. Apparently, he was a justice of the peace or minister as B.F. Black officiated at the marriage of John Gilchrist and Rachel Goodridge in 1870. That John Gilchrist was a founding member of the North English Christian Church, and was the grandfather of John Dirom Gilchrist, who would become Benjamin Black's son-in-law. (DN)



    Benjamin died of lung and kidney trouble at his home 1½ miles east of Walton, Kenton Co., KY. (LTF)

    (from a geocities.com research; ca 2001)



    Benjamin is still farming in English township of Iowa Co., Iowa in the 1870 census. He has remarried Sarah, who apparently is the widow of a Mr. Cole since there are three Cole children living in their household. The Black children in the 1870 census are Ruth 19, Jane 15, Edwin 13, Perry 10, William 8, and Addie 6.



    I believe Benjamin's second wife Sarah might be the widow of a Samuel S. Cole. Samuel S. Cole is a 20-year-old farmer in the 1850 census of Iowa Co., Iowa in English twp. He is married to Sarah D. Cole, age 19, born in Ohio. that age and birthplace fit Benjamin Black's wife in 1870.



    We can guess Benjamin and Louisa came to Iowa about 1865 since they had a child Addie (Ida) born in Indiana about 1864 and Louisa died in Iowa in 1866.



    Benjamin was active in the early North English Christian Church. He was named as a chairman of a meeting discussing the church's finances in 1868.



    Apparently he was a justice of the peace or minister as B.F. Black officiated the marriage of John Gilchrist and Rachel Goodridge in 1870. That John Gilchrist was a founding member of the North English Christian Church, and was the grandfather of John Dirom Gilchrist, who would become Benjamin Black's son-in-law.



    Benjamin and much of this family came to Saunders Co., Nebraska and he is thought to have died there [not true - karen]. I gues it was the late 1870's or about 1880 when they came to Nebraska from Iowa. His daughter Ellen and her husband John D. Gilchrist moved there in 1880, and maybe that's when the rest of the Black family moved there also.



    There was a large Cole family (some related to the Stone family) in Shelby C., Indiana. Perhaps some of those also came to Iowa and that's the Cole family Benjamin's second wife came from?

    Notes:

    (notes from a geocities.com researcher)



    Louisa's middle name o f Matilda is reported from a descendant of her son Perry. Matilda is listed as Louisa's middle name on the marriage certificate of her son Perry Hall Black. It is also recorded in a notebook started by Louisa's granddaughter, Perry's daughter, Blanche Olive (Black) Grewell.



    However, it might have been a mistake on the marriage certificate: a case of the clerk confusing the bride's name with Perry's mother's first name.
