S.W. ARNOLD LAID TO REST YESTERDAY
S.W. Arnold, who had been prominent in Hood River business circles for the past 27 years, passed away Monday morning after a long illness. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the Odd Fellows Hall under the direction of that order, of which Mr. Arnold had been a member. Rev. J.W. Jenkins of Eugene, an old friend of the family, officiated and the attendance of many friends testified to the esteem in which Mr. Arnold had been held.
Simon Whitten Arnold was born April 1, 1863, at Bradford, Indiana. When he was six years of age his parents moved to Kansas. A few years later they returned to Oaktown, Indiana, where Mr. Arnold remained until he was 15 years old. Then he again went to Kansas. There he married Miss Lydia Isenberg on July 10, 1887.
Twenty-seven years ago Mr. and Mrs. Arnold moved to Hood River. He became associated in the contracting business with H.J. Fredericks and the two men continued to be close friends and business associates up to the time of Mr. Arnold’s death. Many of the buildings which form a part of Hood River’s business and residence section were erected by Messrs. Frederick and Arnold, the handsome Coe grade school of having been one of their most recent pieces of work.
Mr. Arnold was a man whose presence will be missed by many friends. His genial disposition made him a welcome companion; his sterling business qualities won the confidence of his fellow citizens, and his life in the home will cause him to be sorely missed by wife and family.
For 16 years Mr. Arnold had been a valued member of the Idlewild Lodge No. 107, I.O.O.F., and also of the Camp.
Besides his wife, he is survived by two sons, Floyd and Clyde, two grandsons, Vallard Whiten Arnold and Clyde Arnold, Jr., and one sister, Mrs. G.W. Parker of LaGrande.
