Mrs. Amey Hazard Arnold, Widow of Capt. James Lincoln Arnold died in Providence, R.I. Feb 21, 1905. She was born in Exeter, R.I. May 6, 1819, the daughter of William and Amey Hazard (Wilcox) Underwood. Her mother died when she was about six years old. In line of daughters' decent she was a decendant from Governor Benedict Arnold and also from Thomas Hazard of Portsmouth, Henry Underwood of Newport, Edward Richmond of Little Compton, and Capt. John Wilcox of Narragansett, The only business partner of Roger Williams in the Indian trade. It will thus be seen she came of good colonial ancestry.

Jan 8, 1837, she was married by Elder William C. Manchester to Capt. James Lincoln Arnold at Providence. The Captain was born at Cranston, April 24, 1812, and died at North Kingstown June 24, 1886. The Captain was of the seventh generation from Thomas Arnold, the younger and half brother of William, the father of Gov. Benedict, our first Govenor.

The issue of this marriage were:

I James Newell Arnold, the compiler of the Vital Record of Rhode Island and editor or author of many other historical works pertaining to Rhode Island.

II Bryon Lincoln Arnold, a carpenter who is married and has a family now is residing in Providence.

III Amey Frances Arnold, the widow of William Henry Franklin, also a resident of Providence. She has one child, a daughter, who has carefully watched over her grandmother to her last days and whose gentle hands at her grandmother's earnest request performed the last dueties on earth for the departed.

It is usual to bestow fulsome eulogies on such occasions as these, more or less true, but here it can be said by her children that she was all that is included in the word "Mother." None knew this fact better than her first born, whose long and painful illness through sixteen years of his youth can bear witness to her patience and great mother-love.

In early life she united with the Six Principle Baptist and at her death was the oldest living member (covering a period of 70 years) of her church.

She lived a life of good works and right conduct, believing that the rewards hereafter were to those who did the works of the Master. When such as she departs this life it is indeed a loss on earth as it is a gain in Heaven. It is refreshing to review such a life and feel there is a something beyond this life and that this world is better taht such as she have lived and died.
