Fred E. Arnold, 81, died at his home in South Ionia Monday morning, March 23, 
at 12:50 o’clock.  He had been ill for the past 10 weeks with pneumonia.  

He was the son of George Wesley and Esther Arnold, and the grandson of Oliver

Mr. Arnold was born August 26, 1855 in South Ionia, and has always lived there 
on a part of the land his grandfather bought of the government in 1833.  He 
left school at the age of 16 and went to work with his father in his shop 
April 1, 1872, and worked there steadily for 58 years.  He was the last of his 
generation of the Arnold family.

December 18, 1881, he married Hannah Snobble and she died February 12, 1918.  
Two daughters were born to them, Adeline who died March 16, 1921, aged 33 
years, and Lenna who survives him.  June 21, 1921 he married Anna Majinsky, 
who survives him.
