 Colmore S. Arnold 1876 - 1915

Died at his home 4 7/8 miles  out  on  Washburn  road,  Feb.  13,  1915,
Colmore S. Arnold aged 38 years, 2 months and 23 days, of pneumonia  and
heart trouble. He was born near Washburn and  grew  to  manhood  in  the
neighborhood where he died. He was born Nov. 21, 1876.

In the death of Coll Arnold we fully realize the loss to his family, the
neighborhood and county. He was a true friend, and his devotion to those
he loved would make a bright  chapter  in  any  life.  Nothing  but  the
thought of the loving hand  that  has  removed  him  can  reconcile  his
relatives and many friends to his absence. While he has  gone  from  the
scenes, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of this life,  he  will
live in the hearts of those who knew him best.

His retiring nature led him to hide his best qualities from public gaze,
but they were revealed to those who enjoyed his acquaintance, yet it was
his home that his true worth was most  conspicuous.  He  was  a  devoted
husband and a loving father and was devoted to the family circle.

He was a man that commanded the respect and esteem of everybody that had
the pleasure of his acquaintance. His word was his bond. His honest  and
honor had never been questioned.

As a testimony  of  the  high  regard  in  which  he  was  held  by  the
citizenship of the south end of Barry county, never have we seen a  more
representative body of people assemble to pay  the  last  respect  to  a
departed friend, than met Monday at  his  funeral  services  at  Exeter,
conducted very feelingly by Rev. E.W. Love  of  this  city.  There  were
citizens from Seligman, Washburn and Cassville and the  country  between
these places.

He was married Dec. 23, 1896, to Miss. Annie McClure, a daughter of  Mr.
and Mrs. Thos. McClure old and highly respected citizens of this county,
who resided near him. To this union was born one daughter Miss Lois,  on
Sept. 18, 1897, who both survive him.

Note: The books "Barry County Missouri Cemeteries" shows that Colmore  S
Arnold and wife Mary Ann McClure are buried at Maplewood Cemetery.
