Hiram Arnold died at his residence in Scio, Washtenaw county, on the 21st of January, 1880. He was born in Ontario county, New York, in 1799, and came to Washtenaw county in 1825, where he purchased government lands in Scio. Two years later he removed his family to that township, and has ever since been engaged in farming and business. Some thirty years ago he built planing mills at Dundee, and many years he was a director of the First National bank in Ann Arbor, which position he held until a short time since, when sickness prevented him from attending to the duties of the place. Mr. Arnold was well known through the county. He has always been a prosperous and successful business man, and had a large circle of friends. He left two children, Eugene B. Arnold and Mrs. Byron Green, to whom his large estate will pass. It is said that he left, in manuscript form, his early remembrances of his pioneer life in Michigan, and that they will be presented to the pioneer society of Washtenaw county.
