George Arms, a famous manufacturer of swords and firearms, in which business he accumulated a large fortune at the time of the Civil War, died yesterday morning in his apartments at the Grand Hotel. He had been ill for two weeks from pneumonia.
Mr. Arms was born in Windham, Vt., eight-two years ago. In the early 70’s he retired from the Arms Manufacturing Company, which was at Chicopee, Mass., and came to New York, where he became interested in the New York Belt Packing Company. He gave up all his business interests about 15 years ago and spent the greater part of his time in study and travel.
In the course of his business career Mr. Arms had occasion to make trips abroad and met many prominent persons with whom he became acquainted in a social way, after his retirement from business. Among them was Mayor Nathan of Rome, who was his fast friend, who entertained Mr. Arms whenever the latter was in Italy and kept up a correspondence with him to the time of his death. During his illness he was attended by Dr. H. A. Brown of No. 262 West 136th St., another life long friend.
Dr. Burdett F. Arms, a nephew and the chief bacteriologist of the Boston Board of Health, arrived here last night, and will arrange for the removal of the body from which had been Mr. Arms’s home for the last thirty-seven years. He was unmarried. New York Tribune, New York, New York 17 Mar 1912, Sun. p. 9.
