He was the husband of Agnes Julia Kelly Carnall. His obituary appeared in The Ridgefield Press 2/3/1972.
Arthur J. Carnall was a boy of nine, fresh off the boat from England, when he arrived in Ridgefield in 1904. He made the town his home for the next 67 years and helped change the face of the community in many ways. Mr. Carnall was a real estate and insurance agent and the firm he founded in 1930 still bore his name into the early 2000s. In the 1940s he led the campaign to buy the Community Center and Veterans Park. He fought long and hard for zoning and later planning. In 1930, he was the agent who negotiated the land purchases that resulted in the Silver Spring Country Club, where he was long an officer and an ardent golfer. He also dabbled in development – the "car" of Marcardon Avenue is he, partners with Francis Martin and Joseph Donnelly. For 15 years starting in 1941, he was the town tax collector. He was a founder of the Lions Club and of the local Ridgefield Board of Realtors, and served on countless boards and committees that showed, as The Press said in his 1972 obituary, "his love of Ridgefield and devotion to its welfare." —Jack Sanders, Notable Ridgefielders, 2000
