Daily Alta California, June 5, 1875
“A Pioneer Gone. 

The Napa Register of the 29th says: W[elcome] B[aylies] Arnold died at 2 
o'clock yesterday afternoon [May 28, 1875], at his home in Yountville, 
surrounded by his family and friends, after a long and painful illness in which 
he has suffered untold tortures before death finally relieved him. He was a 
pioneer citizen of California, having come in 1849, from Providence, Rhode 
Island, of which place he was a native. He settled in Yreka, and about 1857 
came to this county, locating at Yountville, where be engaged in merchandising 
under the name of Lambert & Arnold, continuing up to a few days ago. He was 
also Postmaster at Yountville for some time, the period of which we are not now 
able to state. But the relation in which he was best known in Napa County was 
that of County Assessor, the duties of which office he discharged continuously 
for twelve years from 1863 to the present time — ten of which he himself held 
the office, and one term of two years when May field was elected he acted as 
Deputy, and discharged all the duties of the office. He leaves a wife, son and 
daughter.” END
