William A. ARNETT died at the residence of his son, C.F. Arnett, in this city,
Thursday, May 12, 1898, aged 68 years, 5 months and 15 days.
Mr. Arnett was born in Springfield, Ohio, and was married to Annie MINTO, in
Cedar county, Iowa, in 1853. Mr. Arnett was a resident of Ohio nearly all his
life, and with his wife and youngest daugher moved to Kansas in 1893. His widow,
seven sons and two daughters survive him. One son lives in Fremont, Ohio, one in
Chicago, Ill., one daughter in North Hampton, Ohio, five sons and one daughter
live in Kansas and Oklahoma. His mother, three brothers and two sisters live in
Springfield, Ohio, while one brother lives in Denver, Colorado. The funeral was
held at the residence of C.F. Arnett Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by
Rev. R.B. Engle of the M.E. church and interment was in Spring Grove cemetery.
Mr. Arnett was a very active man, and had interests in Oklahoma, and was here on
a visit when stricken. His was a kindly nature and as husband and father had the
love and affection of his family. He was a good neighbor and citizen and always
looked on the bright side of life, and made its duties a pleasure; his daily
greeting to friends was always a cheerful one and none could meet him without a
measure being the better for his company. With the little folks he was an
especial favorite and always had a smile and a kind word for them, and they
instinctively loved him because of their unerring judgment of his true worth.
His family are the greatest losers, as he was fathe rand older brother to the
boys and the indulgent father to the girls, and all felt free in taking their
joys and sorrows to him. The many friends of the family will join with us in
sincere sympathy to them in their bereavement.
