Robert Black, of Silver City, thf. subect of this sketch, was born near Boston, Mass., March 14th, 1840. He was educated in the public schools of Camoridge, and after- ward learned the trade of architect and builder, which he has followed since that time. The restless spirit which caused so many son oi New England to seek remote sections of the country and become pioneers on the frontier led him to come to New Mexico, and in March, 1872, he located in Silver City, where with his wife, formerly Eliza J. Ross, whom he married May 26th, 1863, he has since resided. He is an active business man in the lines of his chosen calling, and has erected most of the principal buildings in the city, which by the way is the most substantial and best built city in the terri- tory. He is general manager of the Hastings Lumber Co., incorporated under the laws of New Mexico and brought in the first planing and wood working machinery ever put in by an individual in New Mexico.
