Her father was one of the original settlers in Watts township, Perry county, and the town of New Buffalo was laid out during his lifetime. Peter and Caroline Arnold had three children: Susan, Caroline and Jacob L.

Elected county superintendent of schools of Perry county, he served in that capacity for upwards of three years. He then accepted a cal! to the supervising principalship of the Towanda (New York) public schools and discharged those duties for a period of two years, relinquishing his position to accept appointment as supervising superintendent of public schools in Princeton, New Jersey. He labored efficiently as such for seven and a half years, terminating in October, 1905, when he was appointed county superintendent of schools for Mercer county. New Jersey. Throughout his entire professional and official career he has given signal evidences of not only educational abilities of the highest order. but of entire conscientiousness in the discharge of each and every duty, and that healthy enthusiasm which is not only self-inspiring, but is an inspiration upon all who come in contact with him, resultant in harmony of purpose and devotion to lofty ideals of teaching and scholastic life.
Mr. Arnold is a Presbyterian in religion, and a Republican in politics. He is affiliated with New Bloomfield Lodge, No. 319, Free and Accepted Masons. He is a prominent figure in the Royal Arcanum, a member of Princeton Council, No. 1605, and supervising deputy grand regent. He is a member of the Greek letter college fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon Rho.
