The Cairo Messenger, Friday, November 1, 1918
Death and Funeral Of Miss Wessie Arnold

Friends and relatives of Miss Wessie Arnold, learned with regret of her death 
which occurred last Tuesday morning about five o'clock at the home of her 
sister, Mrs. E. J. Poulk, in this city.

She came here from Buena Vista on the eleventh of this month with the body of 
her father, Rev. J. W. Arnold, and remained to spend some time with her 
sister.  Within a very few days she contracted influenza, then last Sunday, 
pneumonia followed and death quickly ensued.

The funeral services were held at three o'clock Tuesday afternoon and she was 
laid to rest there by the side of her father and mother, who preceded her only 
a short while.  Rev. J. G. Christian, assisted by Rev. J. B. Wight and Rev. W. 
C. Jones, conducted the services.

She was about 21 years of age.  She had been a member of the Methodist church 
since earliest childhood.  Her mother having gone to her Heavenly home about 
two and a half years ago, she was left alone in the parsonage home to minister 
to her father, whose death preceded her's only nineteen days.  She was kind to 
little children and was patient and gentle in spirit at all times.  Her loved 
ones are greatly grieved over her early home going but they will all know where 
to find her.  May they be resigned to the Heavenly Father's will — knowing that 
He doeth all things well.

She is survived by two brothers, both in the service of their country, Capt. R. 
M. Arnold, of Chicago and Sergt. W. P. Arnold, with the American Expeditionary 
Forces in France; also two sisters, Mrs. E. J. Poulk, Cairo and Mrs. Grady 
Carter, of Talbotton.
