   HIRAM D. ARTHUR, one of Beech Creek's prominent young men, was born in the
township, where he at present resides, December 25, 1856, and is one of eleven
children born to John and Anna M. (Watkins) Arthur. He received the greater part
of his schooling in his native county, and up to eighteen years of age worked at
farming. In 1874, he began in the saw mill and lumbering business, and this has
been his chief occupation ever since, although, he owns a well improved and
fairly stocked farm of 105 acres. Mr. Arthur deserves much credit for his
success, as he began doing for himself a poor boy, and by energy and industry
has accumulated valuable property. On the 17th of August, 1876, Elizabeth
Livingston became Mrs. Hiram D. Arthur, and to this union two children have been
born, named James W. and Rosa E. In politics, Mr. Arthur casts his influence in
favor of the Democratic party and as a member of this organization he favors
reform in every respect. During the spring of 1884, ho expects to locate in
Tennessee where, in company with a brother, he intends continuing the lumber
business.
