MERCER ARNOLD.—It is gratifying to note that many of the native sons of Jasper county have here found ample field for successful endeavor along varied lines of professional work, as well as those of industrial and commercial enterprise, and of this number is Mr. Arnold, who is engaged in the practice of law in his native city of Joplin and who is recognized as one of the representative younger members of the bar of this favored section of The state.
Mercer Arnold was born in Joplin on the 20th of May, 1878, and is a son of Philip and Henrietta N. (Mercer) Arnold, the former of whom was born in Shelbyville, Kentucky, a member of one of the old and honored families of that state, and the latter of whom was born in Indiana, in which state was solemnized her marriage. Philip Arnold, a man of fine intellectual gifts and for a number of years a prominent and successful factor in educational work, came to Joplin in the early "70s, and he had the distinction of being at the head of the first public school here established, the present thriving city having been at that time an obscure village. He did much to build up the excellent system of schools here and he has never abated his interest in the same, though for several years past he has here given his attention principally to the insurance business, in which he now controls a prosperous enterprise. He and his wife are numbered among the best known and most popular residents of Joplin, where their circle of friends is coincident with that of their acquaintances. He has been influential in local affairs, of a public nature and has served as a member of the city council, both he and his wife are zealous members of the Episcopal church and his political proclivities are indicated by the staunch support given by him to the cause of the Democratic party. Of the children two sons and two daughters are living.
Mercer Arnold is indebted to the public schools of Joplin for his preliminary educational discipline and he was graduated in the high school as a member of the class of 1895. fie was then matriculated in the University of Missouri, at Columbia, in which he completed a full academic course and was graduated as a member of the class of 1904. receiving at this time the degree of Bachelor of Letters. In 1902 be was graduated in the law department of the same institution, which conferred upon him the degree of Bachelor of Laws, and he was forthwith admitted to the bar of his native state.
Mr. Arnold initiated the active work of his profession in the city of St. Louis, where he gained wide and valuable experience in the various departments of legal work and where he continued to reside until February, 1905, when he returned to Joplin, where he has since been engaged in successful practice of general order and where he has gained indubitable precedence as one of the resourceful and representative members of the bar of his native county.
He retains an important clientele and has been identified with much litigation in both the state and federal courts in this part of the state. Soon after his return to Joplin he formed a professional partnership with Horace Merritt, under the firm name of Merritt & Arnold, but since 1907 he has conducted an individual professional business. Mr. Arnold is an effective and zealous advocate of the principles and policies for which the Republican party stands sponsor and he has been an active worker in behalf of its cause. He was appointed city counselor of Joplin in April, 1909, and was reappointed in April, 1910, in this position he has given a most careful and effective attention to protecting the interests of his native city and incidentally has added materially to his professional laurels. His accord term expired in April, 1911.
Prior to entering professional life Mr. Arnold had been actively identified with the Missouri National Guards, and in 1898-9. at the time of the Spanish American war, he was with his command in the government service. as sergeant of Company G, Fourth Missouri United States Volunteer Infantry. He ia now serving on the military staff of Governor Hadley, with the rank of colonel. Mr. Arnold is affiliated with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Blita, the MI„alern Woodmen of America, the Knights and Ladies of Honor, and the Sigma Chi college fraternity. He is a communicant of the Protestant Episcopal church, in which he is an active member of the local parish of Saint Philips church.
