   JOHN W. ARTHUR, one in a family of eleven children born to John and Anna M.
(Watkins) Arthur, is a native of the township and county where he now resides,
his birth occurring December 16, 1850. When sixteen years old, he moved with his
parents to Illinois, where he received the greater part of his education, but
after living there two years the family returned to Greene County. During his
early life, Mr. Arthur worked at farming, but in 1872, in company with two
brothers, Aaron and Nehemiah, he engaged in saw milling, at which he has since
continued, although he owns a good farm of 120 acres, the greater part of which
is under cultivation. The spring of 1884, he expects to move to Tennessee and
make the lumber business his exclusive occupation. Mr. Arthur has been one of
Beech Creek Township's best citizens, favoring the advancement of all laudable
public enterprises. His marriage with Charity Cornelius was solemnized July 27,
1872, and himself and wife are highly esteemed as neighbors and friends. Mr.
Arthur is a Democrat in politics.
