Obituary	George Arnold The death of George Arnold of Garland occurred at his home Tuesday evening. Mr. Arnold, who was about fifty years of age, was formerly a resident of Dexter, moving to Garland several years ago. The funeral services will be held at the home Friday forenoon at 10 o'clock. 8-26-1920, p.5 George Arnold George Arnold, who died August 22, 1920, was born February 4, 1857 in Gardiner, the son of John and Drusilla Arnold. When four years of age he with his parents, moved to Dexter, where they spent the rest of their days. After finishing his education in the public schools of Dexter, he took a course in telegraphy, and went West holding positions as station agent and telegraph operator in several of the western states. But owing to the ill health of his mother, caused from grief over the death of his brother, he returned home, where he remained until his marriage to Emma Gould of Cambridge, November 1886. Now we find him working in the woolen mills of Dexter until the death of his wife in 1891. He then returned to his father's where he remained, engaged in farming and lumbering. May 8, 1965, he married Daisy B. Gee of Dexter. Soon after this marriage he moved into Garland, where he has lived most of the time until his death. Mr. Arnold was fond of reading, and his home life was a source of joy to him. March 9, 1920, he suffered a severe shock from which he never fully recovered. One side was entirely paralyzed, yet he never complained of his crippled condition, but ever looked on the bright side, always hoping he would soon be better. His loving wife most tenderly and faithfully cared for him to the last. He was the last member of his family, cousins being the nearest relatives. Rev. Mr. Hazelton of Dexter officiated at the funeral services, held at his home in Garland village. Old neighbors and friends sang comfort- ing hymns. His three brothers-in-law and a nephew bore his body to its last resting place. The many floral gifts and large attendance indicated the high esteem in which Mr. Arnold was held by his Dexter and Garland friends. The interment was in Mt. Pleasant cemetery, Dexter. 9-9-1920, p.8
