General Notes: Husband - Frederick Klugh Arnold
The work at the home farm required much of his time and interfered sadly with his studies in the neighborhood schools. At sixteen he was apprenticed to a cabinetmaker, and after spending two years in learning the trade, he opened a shop of his own in Luthersburg, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. He prospered, and in five years had saved enough money to enable him to engage in mercantile business, which he followed profitably for seventeen years. In 1871 he began his career as a banker, taking half of the capital stock, $40,000, of the F. K. Arnold & Co.'s Bank at Luthersburg. In this, as in other enterprises, he was successful from the time he devoted his attention to banking. After having passed three years in Luthersburg he sold his interests there and removed to Reynoldsville, where for ten years he was connected with the F. K. Arnold & Co. 's Bank. In 1884 he was the prime mover in the establishment of the First National Bank at Du Bois, Pennsylvania, with a capital stock of $50,000, and for the first four years he was its president. He then resigned, and, returning to Reynoldsville, he opened a private bank, which he conducted two years before disposing of it to Seely, Alexander & Co. Failing health eventually made it necessary for him to retire from active business.
During Mr. Arnold's active business life he was interested in many lines of enterprise, public and private, aside from his regular business. He was one of the chief promoters of the Reynoldsville Water Works, and his influence was the main factor in the establishment, July 26, 1894, of the Reynoldsville Woolen Mills, which were long in successful operation and employed about forty hands, manufacturing flannels, blankets and jeans, and consuming some 200,000 pounds of wool per annum. He also invested to some extent in the Colorado gold fields, especially at Cripple Creek. In 1880 he built the Arnold block at the corner of Main and Fifth streets.
From 1860 until his death he affiliated with the Republican party.
He was a member of the English Lutheran Church, which he joined when eighteen years of age, and to which Mrs. Arnold also belonged, but their children were all Presbyterians in faith.
