About that time Elias Felker died. David got Mrs. Felker (nee Spiers) to keep house for him, & because he felt the children were being poorly cared for, he married her.

David Black built the stone foundation for the barn & also being a framer, he erected a bank barn. Timbers from the farm were used but it is doubtful they were able to find sufficient stones.
