Wellington A. Arnold, 80 life-long resident of Moravia and for many years identified with the commercial life of the village as a baker and retail bakery store proprietor, died Saturday evening at his home in West Avenue, Moravia, following a few days illness with pneumonia. During late years Mr. Arnold operated a bakery at the rear of his home and supplied various stores of the village. He had been active despite his advanced years and last Tuesday baked as usual.

He was a charter member of Fitts Hose Company 2 one of the three companies of the present department. He was a musician and had played in many community bands. He was a member of the old Huff cornet band, formed in 1886. He was a member of St. Matthew's Church and was a vestryman.
