Amel was the eighth child of ten that were born to Herman E and Amelia Anna (Bentz) Arndt.
The siblings were:
Bertha-1867, born in Germany
Alvina-1870, born in Germany
Augusta-1876, born in Michigan
Frank Herman-1877, born in Michigan
August-1880, "twin" born in Michigan
Gustav-1880, "twin" born in Michigan
Marie-1881, born in Michigan
Amel-1882, born in Michigan
Minnie-1886, born in Michigan
Henry-1889, born in Michigan
1910 was a tragic year for the Arndt family with his brother Frank dying in January, his mother Amelia dying in November and then Amel dying in December.
In the obituaries for his mother, his name was spelled Emil and he was listed as living in New Mexico? Then further articles spell his name Emil and Emile and say that he was in Phoenix, Arizona. I haven't found a birth certificate or a death certificate yet.
I am going to assume that his family ordered his headstone and they knew how to spell his name, so it was probably Amel.
I will also assume that he perished from tuberculosis and that is why he was sent to a warm, dry climate. It makes sense that it was Arizona and not New Mexico, although I can't find his death in either place.
Amel was only 28 when he died after an illness of about eight months. Amel had been a long-time employee of McAlister's Barber Shop in Scottville, Michigan, but the 1910 Census shows him as a boarder in the home of George and Myrtle Stuben and it also shows him owning his own barber shop.
