Son of J L and Sophia Barbee Arnold. He was reared in Kentucky, where he attended the college at Eminence. He assisted his father on the farm until he reached his majority, and in the fall of 1883 removed to Elm Grove township, Labette county, Kansas, where he farmed for three years. He then moved to old Kingston, where he lived for six months, and then returned to Edna, to which point the town of Kingston had moved. He conducted a dry goods, grocery and gents' furnishing store, under his own name, for a time, and then entered into partnership with his brother, under the firm name of Arnold Brothers. This partnership continued for five years; since 1896, the firm name has been J C Arnold & Son. Mr Arnold entered the present two-story, brick building, 100 by 25 feet in dimensions, in 1899, and has a large well stocked store.
He was united in marriage with Janie Catherine Thomas, of Newcastle, Kentucky, and they had three sons and one daughter, namely: Richard, Nathaniel, William and Helen.
