General Notes: Husband - Perry Arthurs
Until he was twenty-seven years of age, he remained under the parental roof. Throughout his active business career his principal occupations were lumbering and farming. In the autumn of 1877 he purchased a one-half interest in a two-hundred-acre tract of timber land, and operated on it in partnership until October, 1878, when he purchased the other half interest, and assumed full control. He operated on this tract until the spring of 1881, when he sold the entire tract of land. He also operated rented land for two years, until the autumn of 1881, when he removed to Bell's Landing, purchased two lots, and erected a pleasant residence. He also bought a tract of timber land near the village, on which he then engaged in lumbering, and also developed a farm from game land, having eighty acres. Besides this property he owned twenty-seven acres of coal and mineral lands, and his comfortable residence in Bell's Landing.
He was a strong adherent of Republican principles, and on that ticket was elected to many minor offices; during President Harrison's administration he served as postmaster at Bell's Landing.
