He married Mary Clarke Dawson and they had four children.

Black was educated at Hiram College, where he met and developed a close personal friendship with future president James Garfield. He later attended Washington & Jefferson College.

Black was also an author best known for ghostwriting a biography of Abraham Lincoln for his bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon titled The Life of Abraham Lincoln; from his Birth to his Inauguration as President published in 1872.[1] Because of his reformist zeal, Black was chosen to run on the ticket of Robert E.
