Russell Arnett Dies
Son of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Arnett Will Be Buried Here
Russell Arnett, age 18 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Arnett, former Kokomo residents, died at St. Vincent's hospital, Indianapolis, Sunday evening at 10 o'clock, following an illness of several months.
The body will be brought to Kokomo for burial, the funeral being held Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the Union street Friends church. Burial will be in Crown Point Cemetery.
Russell was an only child and a youth of much promise. He was graduated as an honor pupil from Technical High School, Indianapolis in 1925 and later took a position in the engineering offices of the Nickel Plate railroad at Indianapolis. He had to give up his work when stricken with disease that attacked the spine. Mrs. Arnett, mother of the boy, is confined to the hospital having suffered a nervous breakdown a few weeks ago.
Elbert Arnett was ticket clerk at the L.E. & W. station for several years, leaving Kokomo fourteen years ago to enter the offices of the company at Indianapolis. Recently he was transferred to the Nickel Plate offices at Cleveland, O., but because of Russell's illness the home has been retained at Indianapolis.

Obituary
Russell Lee Arnett was born July 23, 1908 in Kokomo, Ind., and moved to Atlanta, Ind., when six years old, spending his first year in school there. In the fall of 1917 he moved to Indianapolis where he entered school at the age of ten. With his parents, he moved to New York City, his father being in the railroad business. Here he entered school and made two grades in one term. After two years they returned to Indianapolis and he reentered school No. 3 where he skipped from 7-B to 8-B. After graduating from No. 3 in 1921, that fall he entered Technical High school where he made such high marks that he was in the honor roll for all four years that he spent there. He graduated with the class of 1925. After one year of rest he entered the engineering department of the Nickel Plate railroad. His intentions were to work one year and then enter Purdue university for a six year engineering course. But disease of a fatal nature fastened itself upon him and after several weeks in St, Vincent’s hospital, Indianapolis, he bade adieu to all his plans for his future here. He entered the hospital Nov. 11, 1926, and remained there until his death January 16, 1927. His remains were brought to the Union Street Friends church, Kokomo. The funeral services were in charge of the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Brown of the Friends church. Burial was in Crown Point cemetery, Kokomo. He was the only child of this union, Bert and Fern Good Arnett, and he was the inspiration of that home. Nothing too good for him was left out or off, there all interest centered in an around him. He was quiet in all his moves and yet so free. There was a smile on his face that stayed there. With his pals he never followed, always led. He was a leader of his age, he was never forgetful of those around him, always trying to make them happy and in doing so his own heart was made glad. Parents were kind and he has always ready to dare and do his part to make home what it ought to be, a place of rest and peace.
As he was once
So we are now
Prepare for life
And do it now.
W. G. COOPER, Kokomo.
