   NEHEMIAH ARTHUR, a twin brother of Aaron Arthur, who is elsewhere mentioned
in this work, is a native of Beech Creek Township, Greene County, Ind., where he
now lives. He was born December 11, 1841, one of the family of John and Anna
(Watkins) Arthur. His schooling was limited to the country schools where he has
been reared. On October 15, 1861, he married Margaret E. Burks, and to this
union nine children have been born—Mary A., William W. (deceased), John F., Joel
R., Odella, Anna L., Martin L., Aaron L. and Amanda A. In the first part of
life, Mr. Arthur was a farmer, and in fact has always been such, although he has
been in the saw-mill business ever since the fall of 1871, with the exception of
the year 1879. He now owns 298 acres of good farming land, well improved. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur are members of the Christian Church, while he is a Democrat
in politics. They are of the best people, and highly respected as citizens in
the community where they live.
