Leslie Clarence Arnold was born September 1, 1893, and died December 13, 1932, at seven-thirty p. m. at the Missouri Methodist Hospital, St. Joseph, Mo., at the age of 39 years, 3 months and 8 days.

On October 4, 1916, he was united in marriage to Beulah Boyer, and to this union was born one son, Vance, who is now 12 years old. Shortly before his marriage, Leslie was converted and united with the Clarksdale Christian Church, where his membership remains today. He leaves to morn his departure a wife, son, one brother, Ted, of Clarksdale; two sisters, Mrs.Luella Lynch of Clarksdale, and Mrs. Obert Davis of Easton; a mother and father and a large number of close relatives and friends. The whole community feels the loss of Leslie very heavily, and scores of friends are heavy hearted in having lost, for a time, a real friend.

Leslie Arnold had grown up in this neighborhood, his father, Mr. J[ohn] N. C. Arnold, having had the store at Bayfield and being one of the oldest residents around Clarksdale. Most of Les's friends have been lifelong, as speaks for his splendid character. He was a man of high principles and stood for the best in his community. It was but a month from the time of his accident at the mill until he was laid away. During this time his friends and relatives did everything in their power to be of service to him, and when his wife was taken down with a bad sore throat, which was quarantined as diphtheria for a week, their efforts were redoubled. The sign was taken down the morning after the husband's death.

The funeral service for Mr. Arnold was held Friday afternoon at the home after Dr. Perkins pronounced it inadvisable for Mrs. Arnold to leave her sick bed and go to the Christian Church as first planned. Mrs. Herald Thornton and Mrs. A. E. Loe sang "Some Day We Will Understand," accompanied by Mrs. Donald Barrow on the piano. Reverend Floyd Rolf preached another one of his comforting sermons, and burial was at Memorial Park Cemetery near St. Joseph. As a last tribute to their friends, the business men, clubs, relatives and friends contributed many beautiful floral displays. The pall bearers were Mr. Herman Weiner, Mr. Ray Clinton, Mr. Forrest Guinn, Mr. Glade Bradbury, Mr. Herald Thornton, and Mr. Ora Boyer.

Out of town relatives here for the funeral were Mr. Jess Boyer from Bartlesville, Oklahoma; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bellis, St. Joseph; Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Pulley, King City; Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Mathis, Weston; Mr. and Mrs. Ed Chartrain, Mrs. Harl Miller and Mrs. Mack Ketchem of St. Joseph.

The sympathy of the community goes out to the members of this broken home.
