Arthur Darnall
Who is a careful, competent and successful farmer and stock-raiser in Banner county, is a native of Nebraska, born in Nuckolls county, March 30, 1881. His parents are Walter Scott and Rosie (Tucker) Darnall, who now live retired in the village of Melbeta. They were born in Sangamon county, Illinois, and were farming people before coming to Nebraska in 1879. The family lived in Nuckolls and Clay counties prior to 1887, when the father homesteaded in Banner county. Five years later he returned with his family to Illinois and twelve years passed before he came back to Nebraska. He then took charge of his old homestead and greatly improved it. He now owns twenty-four hundred acres and since 1915, when he practically retired, two of his sons, Arthur and Ralph, have had the management of this property.
Arthur Darnall obtained his education in the public schools and his business throughout life has been of an agricultural nature. For some years he lived in Illinois and while there served in the office of county commissioner, being elected on the Republican ticket for a period of three years. In 1905 he accompanied his father from Illinois, where the latter had been continuously farming, to Banner county, and now, as mentioned above, in association with his brother, has charge of the estate of twenty-four hundred acres, mostly range land and ranch. The Darnalls are practical, experienced business men and they have been very successful in all their farm undertakings.
On March 8, 1905, at Barclay, Illinois, Arthur Darnell was united in marriage to Miss Lida Johnson, who is a daughter of William D. and Louisa (Marshall) Johnston. The mother of Mrs. Darnall resides at Riverton, Illinois, but the father died on July 27, 1915. Mr. and Mrs. Darnall have four children, namely: Nina, born November 3 1909; Frank, born September 13, 1912; Glenn, born October 12, 1913; Harvey, born October 28, 1915, this son was named in memory of Mr. Darnall's youngest brother, who had died suddenly a year before, just ten days after his happy marriage; David Arthur born August 3, 1919.
