General Notes: Husband - Harry Irwin Arnold


He passed his boyhood amid the rural environment of his father's farm. He attended as a lad the local public schools, and later was sent to the preparatory school in connection with Currie University at Pittsburgh. There he was prepared for college, and after completing his studies entered the University of Pittsburgh, where he took the course in law. He graduated from that institution with the class of 1904, and the same year was admitted to the bar of Allegheny county. In 1905 he was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the State.
Mr. Arnold enlisted in January, 1899, in the Third United States Infantry for service in the Philippine Insurrection, and was sent with that body to the Philippine Islands to quell the insurrection there. He remained during the duration of the war, participating in all the engagements in which his regiment, under the command of Colonel John H. Page, engaged. It was in 1902 that Mr. Arnold received his honorable discharge from the United States Army, and he at once returned home, where he then devoted himself consistently to the practice of his profession.
Mr. Arnold was affiliated with a number of organizations of a social and military nature, and was adjutant general of the Society of Veterans of the Foreign Wars of the United States, an office chosen annually. A strong Democrat in politics, Mr. Arnold took an active part in the work of the local organization of the party, and served regularly on the County Committee thereof for a number of years.
