General Notes: Husband - James S. Arthur

---

He passed his early life on the home farm, being educated in the subscription and district schools of the period. After marriage he settled on the homestead farm, consisting of 110 acres. This farm was underlaid with a valuable six-foot vein of coal, and the mines had been opened on the farm for a number of years, Mr. Arthur's ancestors having been active coal merchants. The mines were continued under operation by J. S. Arthur & Sons.
Mr. Arthur took an active part in politics, voting with the Democratic party.

He was born and spent his entire life on the home farm. This property had always been in the Arthur name, having come into the possession of James Arthur at the death of an uncle, James Arthur, who died there in 1857. Mr. Arthur left two farms at the time of his death\emdash one of 104 acres on which his widow resided, another of 142 acres on which his son James resided, besides property in Hickory and Meadowlands, and a valuable tract of coal in Chartiers Township, where mines had been opened and operated by Mr. Arthur and his sons for many years.
