Facts and Events
Name[1][2] William Black
Gender Male
Death[1][2] 3 Feb 1915 Marshall, Harrison, Texas, United Statesshot

He claimed to be an ex-priest of the Catholic Church[3].

An Ancestry Public Tree suggests that he adopted Sadie Allison, without providing any evidence (other than that she used the surname Black as a single woman in the 1920 census and when she married in 1921, and that a "Miss Black" was present when William Black was shot in 1915). If so, he must have adopted her between 1910 (when she was 12) and 1915 (when she was 17).
