	JESSE GARFIELD ARNOLD.  For seventeen years Portland has been the 
scene of the professional activities of Jesse Garfield Arnold, a well known 
corporation lawyer, whose progress has been commensurate with his industry and 
ability.  He was born December 8, 1886, in Campbell, Arkansas, and his 
parents, Newton and Mary (Baugus) Arnold, were natives of Tennessee.  The 
father was born in Waynesville and fought for the Union during the Civil war, 
serving with a Tennessee regiment.  Afterward he migrated to Arkansas and 
lived for a number of years in that state.  His demise occurred at Marshall in 
1895 and the mother passed away in 1897 at the same place.
	Jesse G. Arnold spent his boyhood on his father’s farm and obtained 
his rudimentary instruction in the country schools of Searcy county.  He 
attended the University of Arkansas and in 1910 won the degree of Bachelor of 
Arts from the Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Virginia.  It was 
there that his first legal work was done and in 1911 he was graduated from the 
law department of the University of Washington at Seattle.  Since his 
admission to the Oregon bar Mr. Arnold has practiced in Portland and the court 
records bear evidence of his power as an attorney, showing that he has 
successfully handled many difficult cases.  He has charge of the legal 
interests of a number of the large corporations operating in Portland and 
keeps several assistants, as his clientele is extensive.  His office is 
located in the American Bank building and his name appears on the directorate 
of the Western State Loan Association, while he also represents a number of 
business firms in a similar capacity.
	Mr. Arnold was married in July, 1921, in Portland, to Miss June 
Laughlin and they now have a daughter, Janet June.  Mr. Arnold gives his 
political allegiance to the republican party and is a Baptist in religious 
faith.  During the World war he served on the legal advisory board and also 
promoted the sale of Liberty bonds.  Along fraternal lines he is identified 
with the Woodmen of the World, and his interest in Portland’s development is 
indicated by his affiliation with the Chamber of Commerce and the Progressive 
Business Men’s Club.  He is also a member of the Multnomah Golf Club, the 
Press Club, the Ad Club and the Automobile Club.  His professional connections 
are with the Multnomah County, Oregon State and American Bar Associations.  
Mr. Arnold has always followed the course dictated by conscience and honor and 
stands deservedly high in the esteem of his fellowmen.
