DR. W. W. ARNOLD, of Colorado Springs. The Arnold family traces its descent, in unbroken line, from Ynir, king of Gwentland, second son of Cadwalader, last king of the Britons, who flourished in the twelfth century. The coat-of-arms is a shield occupied by three lions rampant, surmounted by the crest, a mailed hand clenched, the scroll beneath bearing the motto, "Be just and fear not." Colors, red, white, blue and gold. Through Roger Arnold, the twelfth in descent from Ynir, and the first to adopt the name of Arnold, the family traces direct descent from King Alfred the Great. The original surname was Arnholt (meaning, strong eagle) , which after some generations was changed to the present form. The successive generations to the present are as follows: Ynir, king of Gwentland; Meiric, Ynir Bichan and Carador, also kings of Gwentland; Dyfuwall and Systal, lords of Gwentland; Arthur, lord of Upper Gwent; Meiric, Gwillim, Arnholt, Arnholt, Roger, Arnold, Thomas, Richard, Richard (lord of the manor), Thomas, William, Richard, Richard, Isaac, Matthew, Richard A., John, William W. (of this sketch) and Clarence R. On the maternal side Dr. Arnold descends from Edward Ball, who lived in New Jersey in 1693, and whose great-grandson, Davis Ball, fought in the Revolutionary war.
Dr. Arnold's grandfather, John Arnold, was born on the Isle of Wight, and in 1820 came to America, where his family joined him the next year. He settled in Rush County, Ind., and became a merchant, farmer and postmaster at Arnold's. From the forest he improved a valuable estate that still bears the family name. In 1864, when he was seventy-six, he died from the effects of a sunstroke. He was fond of reading and was a splendidly informed man.
Dr. John Arnold, father of our subject, was born in the Isle of Wight, England. He received his medical education in the Ohio Medical College of Cincinnati, and began the practice of medicine in 1836, in Vienna, Ind., where he remained until a failure of health in 1841, when he revisited his native land, spending a year with his kindred in the beautiful island. In 1843 he removed to Connersville, Ind., where he was the leading practitioner until 1853. He then purchased his father's farm and removed to it, carrying on the practice of his profession and overseeing the interests of the farm. In 1877 he removed to Rushville. He practiced until 1898, when he retired after sixty-two years of professional life. Fond of literature and well versed in the early history of his locality, he has compiled a history of Rush County and has also made frequent contributions to papers. He is the oldest living settler of Rushville, where he still resides, in the eighty-fifth year of his age. During the Civil war he and his son, our subject, were members of the Union League, which organization was called out several times to quell the Knights of the Golden Circle, when the latter were getting too bold. His wife, who was Sarah Ann Ball, was born in Ohio, and was a granddaughter of Davis Ball, a soldier of the Revolution. Her father, Abner Ball, was born in New Jersey, but during the most of his life made his home in Ohio and eastern Indiana.
The subject of this sketch was born in Connersville, Ind., August 28, 1843. He was educated at Fairview, Richland and Hopewell academies. He began the study of medicine under his father and afterward was a student in the Ohio Medical College of Cincinnati. In 1864, with his father, he gained his first experience of professional work, and afterward took a post-graduate course in the Philadelphia Polyclinic. After his father removed from the farm to Rushville in 1877, the younger man continued the practice at the old home place, where he remained until 1886, the date of his removal to Colorado Springs. His specialty in practice has been diseases of the respiratory organs. His theory concerning pulmonary consumption has always been that the disease is primarily of neurotic origin, the result of degenerated nerve force, and that the micro-organisms discoverable in the affected tissues are not the causative factors in the production of the disease. The mode of treatment based upon this theory consists in the employment of all those agents that will most surely and promptly restore tone and energy to the weakened nerve cell. This end is attained by the judicious administration of powerful restorative tonics, by the use of compressed medicated inhalations, a species of "pulmonary calisthenics," by means of which the patient is enabled to utilize his full vital capacity; and by the employment of electricity in the form of the current generated by a powerful static influence machine. This wonderful piece of mechanism, whose workings were exhibited to the writer, administers what is known as a static bath, by which the patient is surrounded by an atmosphere of electric energy, which strengthens and vitalizes every part of the system, causing in each cell renewed protoplasmic activity. The office in the bank building is one of the best and most thoroughly equipped offices in the west.
In Hopewell, Ind., in 1863, Dr. Arnold married Miss Eva M. Shaw, who was born in West Alexander, Pa., a daughter of Rev. Joseph Shaw, of Bellefontaine, Ohio, formerly a minister in the Presbyterian Church, but now retired. Her mother was Naomi Waite, of Ohio. Dr. and Mrs. Arnold have two sons. Clarence R., the eldest, graduated from Colorado College in 1891, as a Ph. B., later took a course of two years in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, but was obliged to relinquish his studies on account of ill health. In 1895 he was graduated from the Denver University, with the degree of M. D. He has since practiced in connection with his father, and has made a specialty of gynecology. Fraternally he is identified with the Masons. The younger son, John S., is in Colorado Springs with his parents. The family are connected with the First Presbyterian Church of Colorado Springs, where the doctor is a ruling elder and for several years was Sunday-school superintendent. Politically he is a Republican. While in Indiana he was a member of the state, district and county medical associations, and he also holds membership in the American Medical Association. He is identified with the Sons of the American Revolution. On the corner of St. Vrain and North Nevada streets, he has a fine residence, the material for which is pink lava rock brought from Castle Rock. Besides this place he owns other property in the city. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce. In everything calculated to advance the welfare of his city he takes a deep interest, and is justly regarded as one of the most progressive citizens of the Springs.
Dr. Arnold inherits in large measure the family characteristic of love for literature and the arts, and has contributed numerous articles to the press. By indefatigable industry, observation and the appropriation of advanced medical thought and practice, he has achieved a success in the practice of his profession which any man might be proud of.
