Arner, Jacob Emery - (CD 12-6- 1934) - Although his dangerous condition of health was known by almost all of his fellow citizens during the two or three months of illness, the death of J. E. Arner, on Sunday evening, December 2, 1934, fell upon the community as a pall of sorrow, because of the full Christian character of the departed and the love and reverence in which he was held by all who knew him.
The illness of Mr. Arner was an affectation of the heart and when it seized upon him, or rather when its providence was developed and clearly shown, it had a deep-seated hold upon him, and in spite of the most rigid care and the most perfect medical treatment, with constant nursing and attention, the disease could not be overcome, it progressed steadily and surely till the time of his departure was at hand. The noble spirit which animated him as a man and a Christian throughout his life devoted to truth and righteousness, and to a peculiarly faithful service of the Master who he endeavored to follow, having accomplished the will of the Father, returned to God who gave it, to be preserved till the time of the restoration of all things.
Jacob Emery Arner was born June 10, 1866, in Curlsville, Clarion County, Pa., the son of the late Jacob and Margaret E. Arner. In the home at the place he grew to a sturdy manhood and received his education in the public schools of the borough. He took up and learned from his father the occupation of a miller and for some time conducted the business of the grist and flour mill at that place. In September, 1891, he removed to Clarion with his family and took charge of the business at the J. M. Slick mill on liberty Street, which continued till his father passed away. Mr. Arner later moved the meat market to Main Street and later associated D.M. Howard with him, doing business as Arner and Howard. He was thus associated with the meat business for about thirty years altogether. He tan sold his interest to Mr. Howard and later started a shoe store associating with himself and his son, James J. Arner. About five years ago Mr. Arner, at the solicitation of many citizens became a candidate for Justice of the Peace and was duly elected and commissioned for service in that office. In his office faithful and efficient service, holding the position at the time of his death.
The happy part of Mr. Arner's life was home life and his church life. He was united in marriage with Miss Effie M. Dixon, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Dixon of Piney Township on April 26, 1888, and for forty years they have traveled life's pathway together. She is now left to complete the journey without her life partner. However there survive the following children; Mrs. Blanche A. Moore, Kittanning; Mrs. Margaret Lewis, Clarion; Mrs. Ruth Linn, New Kensington; James J. Arner, Clarion and Mrs. William J. Mortland, Aliquippa. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. W.M. Brown of Falls Creek and by 14 grandchildren.
In his early young manhood Mr. Arner was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was intensely devoted in his service to his Master and was loyal at all times. He was constant in his attendance on the services of the church and happy in performing any service possible. He has been a member of the official bodies of the church for about forty-one years. H was elected and held the position of Steward of the church for a long time. He has been a Trustee of the church for many years. He was a teacher in the Sunday (school) all along through those years. he was a regular attendant at the prayer meetings and all social services. On the retirement of Mr. J.E. Wood as treasurer of the church Mr. Arner was elected and served with fidelity and entire satisfaction until a few years ago. This was but another way of saying that his life was Christian in all respect. In his association with men he always left the Christian impression. In his association with in the church everybody knew the spirit which animated him was that of Master. It was most appropriate that the church he served so devotedly should witness the services in connection with his burial. Mr. Arner was always interested in his fellowman and he was most fraternal in spirit that he might help through fraternal associations. He was a member of Clarion Lodge, No. 277, F. & A.M., Eden Chapter, No. 259, R.A.M., of Clarion, Talbot Commandery, No. 43, Knights Templar and of Coudersport Consistory. His brethren of Clarion Lodge gave the beautiful rites of their committal service at the interment. The funeral service were conducted in the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, his pastor, the Rev. William P. Murray, being in charge of the same. The interment was made in the Clarion Cemetery.
