LIFE ENDS FOR W. E. ARNOLD, 76, M. E. HISTORIAN
Retired Minister Succumbs at Louisville Hospital.
HAD CONTRIBUTED MUCH TO CHURCH
Deceased Resided Here Until Last September.
Dr. William E. Arnold, 76, of Winchester, historian for the Methodist church in Kentucky and retired minister, died Wednesday morning at the St. Joseph hospital in Louisville after an illness of several weeks.
Dr. Arnold left Winchester last September to spend the winter months with his daughter, Miss Katherine Arnold, M. E. deaconess, who at that time was stationed at Biloxi, Miss., later at Fort Worth, Texas. They went to Louisville several weeks ago where Dr. Arnold was treated for an infection of the jaw. Recently he underwent an operation.
The minister, one of Kentucky’s leading Methodists, had published two volumes on “The History of Kentucky Methodism” and at the time of his death was at work on his third book which was to have been published this year.
Dr Arnold was born and reared in Nicholas county, near Carlisle. He was a graduate of Kentucky Wesleyan college. Immediately after completing his studies here, he entered the ministry, and during his long career with the church, he held the highest offices in Kentucky Methodism. He had served as presiding elder in practically every M. E. district in the state. He was editor of the Central Methodist church publication, and was a former educational secretary for the church. Dr. Arnold has served in the pulpits of the state’s leading churches until his retirement.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Strother Arnold; a son, W. E. Arnold, Jr., University of Pennsylvania professor and formerly of the Wesleyan faculty; his daughter and two sisters.
Funeral services will be conducted Friday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock in the chapel at Kentucky Wesleyan college. Burial will be in the Lexington cemetery.
Dr. Paul S. Powell, president of Wesleyan college, in commenting on Dr. Arnold’s death, said, “Kentucky Wesleyan and the Methodist church have lost one of their greatest friends. He has served the college and the church long, faithfully and successfully. His death is a great shock to all of us.
The body will be brought to Winchester tonight and will be taken to the Arnold residence on College street.
∼Dr. William F. Arnold, 76 years old, of Winchester, Kentucky, Dean of Kentucky Methodism and author of two volumes on the history of his church in the Bluegrass State, died Wednesday at Saint Joseph's Infirmary, in Louisville, Kentucky. A native of Nicholas County, Kentucky, he had been in the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Kentucky, since his graduation from Kentucky Wesleyan College.

He was at work on a third volume at the time of his death. He was editor of The Central Methodist, church organist and a former educational secretary of the church.
