She married Aaron Arnold 23 Aug 1853 in Benton Co, TN

Gone to Rest There were many expressions of regret in Camden, Friday, when intelligence was received that Mrs Josephine Arnold died that afternoon. She was the widow of Aaron Arnold, who died here a number of years ago.

The Body was brought here for interment Saturday. Impressive funeral services were held by Rev J M Pickens of Murray, KY, on Sunday afternoon, after which all that was mortal of a dear mother was tenderly laid to rest beside her husband in Camden Cemetery. The deceased was the mother of George W Arnold and Mrs Dora McAuley of this place, Mrs Tom C Rye of Paris, Mrs Delia Rives of Mississippi and Mrs J M Southall of Nashville. All were present except Mrs Rives who could not get here.

The writer had known Mrs Arnold since hearly boyhood. None ever entered her home ithout a warm welcome nor left without feeling the warmth of a genuine hospitality, so characteristic of the old South. Disease did not destroy the charm of a kind, indulgent disposition, nor old age dimish her unselfish solicitude for ehr friends and loved ones.

She united with the Presbyterian Church in middle life, and loved to attend its services when health permitted. While she had continued to enjoy the society of her friends and children, she had for serveral years realized her active life was over, and with quiet resignation awaited the Divine call from death unto life.

As the death dew gathered on her palid brow, around her bedside were assembled her loves ones. With tearful eys they watched the life so long interwoven with theirs as it slowly but surely passed over. The love of a mother for her children passed human understanding. The son and daughters that were gathered about the cot of this dying mother as she bravly fouhgt the Death Angel, long afo passed out from the little home circle. Business cares and their own home circles had encroached upon their time, may have robbed mother of their companionship, but she was ever just from her, but she never from them; they were still her children. We know that years hence the memory of her unselfish devotion will make them think of the life to come, and we pray that her Christian precepts may be their guiding star.
