| Info | BLACK, CHAUNCEY Forward. Democratic politician and Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania. Born "in the Glades, Somerset County," in 11/1839, son of Jeremiah S. and _____ (Forward) Black.
His early education was obtained at Monongalia Academy, Morgantown, W. Va., at Hiram College, in Ohio, and he finished his studies at Jefferson College, Canonsburg. When he was a pupil at Hiram, future President Garfield was a tutor there, and the acquaintance thus formed ripened into a personal friendship, which was only interrupted by the president's tragic death.
Black was admitted to the bar of Somerset, and also of York, but rarely practiced.
Well-known journalist. Editorial contributor to the New York Sun and other prominent journals of the country.
In 1879 he represented York County in the Democratic State convention, and in 1880 he was one of the delegates from that congressional district to the Cincinnati convention, voting on the first ballot for Judge Field, and on the second for Gen. Hancock.
Lieutenant Governor (D-PA) 1883-1887. Nominated overwhelmingly on the first ballot at the Democratic state convention in 1882.
Married the daughter of U.S. Rep. John L. Dawson, who lived in the former residence of Albert Gallatin.
His residence, named "Willow Bridges," was located one mile west of the city of York, Pennsylvania.
