Harry C. Arnes, town clerk and prosperous farmer of Lakeland Township, was
born in Burnett County, this state, Dec. 25, 1895, the son of Mathias and
Lena (Olson) Arnes. He attended the schools of his native township, and
perfected this with courses in the Capital City Commercial College at
Madison, Wis. Then he worked with his father until 1916, when he rented a
farm. In 1918 he bought 100 acres in Section 5, Lakeland Township. He has
built up a good place, has named it the Pleasant View farm, and has been
successful in his operations. His herd is of grade Guernseys, headed by a
full blooded sire. His swine are pure blooded Duroc Jerseys. In 1919 he was
elected to his present position as town clerk, and is filling the position
