Arthur retired from the farm and moved to Stafford in 1925 where he spent the last years of his life.
While his last sickness was of short duration, he was so thoughtful and considerate of those he left behind.
Arthur was a part of Stafford and Stafford community. He was always keenly interested in the affairs of the city, of the community at large, of the county - of his fellow men. For many years he took an active part in the work at the fair grounds, helped at athletic games, and from boyhood retained an undying love for the world of nature.
He was thoroughly at ease with any man in any walk of life, was militant in his support of integrity and honesty, and enjoyed most of all, perhaps, the times he could spend in peaceful quiet near a stream or lake. He supported progress in community ___ but he never lost sight of ____ sterling quality and the fundamental goodness of many early day institutions and persons. His death marks the passing of another whose personality has stamped itself indelibly upon the community in which he lived.
He was so fond of children which characteristic won him a large number of friends.
Funeral services were held at 10:30 Thursday morning at the Eurkea Methodist church and were conducted by Rev. G. E. Heitmeyer and Rev. Eldon Smoot. Burial was in the Stafford cemetery.
