General Notes: Husband - Harry A. Arnold
He received his literary education in the public schools of Kittanning, Pennsylvania, and Princeton college, and to thoroughly fit himself for a business career he attended and took the full commercial course of Duff's college, Pittsburgh, from which he was graduated in 1870. His first employment was as a clerk for Campbell, McConnell & Son, with whom he remained for three years. He then went to Parker, Pennsylvania, where he had an interest in several oil wells, and was a successful oil producer for six years. At the end of that time he came to Kittanning, where he was in the employ of J. A. Gault in the mercantile business for two years. He then (spring of 1880) embarked in a life and fire insurance business. He was agent for the Equitable Life Insurance company, but made a specialty of fire insurance and represented many of the old line and standard companies of both the old and the new world.
Mr. Arnold was a republican in politics, a member of the First Presbyterian church of Greensburg, Westmoreland County, and was a Royal Arch Mason in Masonry. He was secretary of his chapter, was well up in the work of the lodge and chapter and was frequently deputized to give instructions in the beautiful, beneficent and moral teachings of Masonry in lodges and chapters of the order.
