Belding Banner-News, 1 Dec 1926

Another familiar and well known figure was removed from the community on Friday
afternoon at four o’clock when death claimed the life of John B. Arnwine, for
half a century a resident of this community and for the greater part of that
time superintendent of the Belding-Hall Co., an institution which grew, during
the time he was connected with it, to many times its original capacity and
magnitude.

Mr. Arnwine had been a prominent man in the community.  He had served his
neighbors as alderman and had also been appointed to serve on various boards and
committees, always rendering a faithful and complete service.  He had been for
many years a director in the Belding Building and Loan Association, resigning
that position a short time ago.

Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at two o’clock from the residence
on High street, under Masonic auspices and with Rev. H.S. Ellis, pastor of the
Congregational church, officiating.  Burial was in Otisco cemetery by the side
of his wife and a daughter, Allie, loved ones who preceded him in death some
years ago.

As a mark of respect and honor to the memory of Mr. Arnwine, the factories of
the Belding-Hall Company were closed and remained silent all Monday afternoon. 
Many of the employees attended the funeral and among them were some who had
worked under Mr. Arnwine during all the time that he was in charge of the local
factories.

Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. George Y. Reed, of Birmingham and Mrs. Carroll
Spicer, of this city.
