| Text | Died at his home 4 7/8 miles out on Washburn road, Feb. 13, 1915, Colmore S. Arnold aged 38 years, 2 months and 23 days, of pneumonia and heart trouble. He was born near Washburn and grew to manhood in the neighborhood where he died. He was born Nov. 21, 1876.
In the death of Coll Arnold we fully realize the loss to his family, the neighborhood and county. He was a true friend, and his devotion to those he loved would make a bright chapter in any life. Nothing but the thought of the loving hand that has removed him can reconcile his relatives and many friends to his absence. While he has gone from the scenes, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of this life, he will live in the hearts of those who knew him best. His retiring nature led him to hide his best qualities from public gaze, but they were revealed to those who enjoyed his acquaintance, yet it was his home that his true worth was most conspicuous. He was a devoted husband and a loving father and was devoted to the family circle. He was a man that commanded the respect and esteem of everybody that had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His word was his bond. His honest and honor had never been questioned. As a testimony of the high regard in which he was held by the citizenship of the south end of Barry county, never have we seen a more representative body of people assemble to pay the last respect to a departed friend, than met Monday at his funeral services at Exeter, conducted very feelingly by Rev. E.W. Love of this city. There were citizens from Seligman, Washburn and Cassville and the country between these places. He was married Dec. 23, 1896, to Miss. Annie McClure, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. McClure old and highly respected citizens of this county, who resided near him. To this union was born one daughter Miss Lois, on Sept. 18, 1897, who both survive him. |
