   AARON ARTHUR, one of the enterprising men of Beech Creek Township, is the son
of John and Annie (Watkins) Arthur, and was born in Greene County December 11,
1841. His father was a native of Kentucky, and his mother of Tennessee. They
emigrated to Greene County, Ind., at an early day, and engaged in farming, but
after a time moved to Moultrie County, Ill., and remained about two years; then
returned to this county, where they resided until their respective deaths. Aaron
Arthur is one in a family of nine children. He was married January 16, 1861, to
Miss Margaret Ann Crockett, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Crockett, and to
this union have been born seven children—William, Elizabeth, Charley, Benjamin,
Annie, John and David. Mr. Arthur is a stanch Democrat, and he and his wife are
members of the Christian Church. He has always taken an active interest in the
advancement of education and all the public improvements of the day. He owns a
fine farm of 280 acres, and confines his occupation to farming and stock-raising.
