East Texas Historical Association December 30, 2001)

"A COUNTRY DOCTOR, by Bob Bowman -The image of the country doctor - riding his horse and buggy into the night to deliver a baby in the bedroom of a farmer's home--is a cherished part of our history.

In the Arnold family of Hemphill, in Sabine County, that image is larger. In 1906, William Thomas (Tom) Arnold, Jr. of Hemphill, one of nine children of a Confederate soldier, earned his medical degree from the University of Tennessee and returned home to establish a medical practice on the East Texas frontier. In the thirty-one years that passed before his death in 1937, he influenced thousands of lives with his skills, compassion and devotion to medicine. Dr. Tom's earnings were meager. His cash income seldom exceeded $4,000 a year and his services were often paid with fresh vegetables, pigs, chickens, stovewood, homemade preserves and syrup.

But Dr. Tom left a medical legacy in East Texas. Of his five children, three became physicians (one was a founder of Diagnostic Clinic of Houston) and one was a nurse. When he began his practice, Dr. Tom opened an office above Fuller's Drug Store on the Hemphill square. He later married Jim Fuller's sister Sarah Pearl, and their kids helped around the doctor's office and drug store, sometimes making braces for patients. In 1928, Dr. Tom installed Hemphill's first X-ray machine, a crude device that had been invented in 1898. "Dad taught us how to use it, and I remember we had to put on lead-lined gloves and aprons to keep from burning our fingers and body," said Hiram Arnold of Lufkin, a retired physician.

Dr. Tom made house calls for two dollars. He provided nine months of care and delivery for a mother and child for twenty-five dollars. When he found it difficult to deliver babies in feather beds, he invented a delivery bed he carried in an automobile seat when he replaced his old horse and buggy. He helped organize Hemphill's first hospital, also on the courthouse square, and charged patients a dollar a day for care, room and board. The hospital had seven beds and was closed with the arrival of the Great Depression.

Working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Dr. Tom battled diseases with the barest of medicines, mostly aspirin and morphine. Pneumonia was often treated by opening the patient's chest cavity to allow the pus to drain away. Surgeries and broken bones were repaired with only the application of "deadening medicine."  When a Sabine County man's abdomen was sliced open by a knife-wielding drunk and his intestines fell on the ground, Dr. Tom washed them with distilled water, stuck them back into the man's stomach, and sewed him up. The man survived.

During his career, Dr. Tom contracted rabbit fever when he was stuck by a syringe needle--an incident that weakened his body and led to a heart attack and his death two days before Christmas in 1937. In clearing up his books, his children found that Dr. Tom's patients owed him nearly $75,000 for services. They tried to collect the debts to settle his estate, but managed to bring in less than $400. Most patients told them they felt they didn't owe the bill since Dr. Tom had died. But when Dr. Tom was buried in Hemphill's cemetery, it was one of the largest funerals in the history of Sabine County--a solemn and fitting farewell to an American institution, the country doctor.

"For Chief of Police - Capt. J. C. ARNOLD announces in today's paper for re-election to the office of chief of police. Mr. ARNOLD is a man whom the Times-Herald can conscientiously commend. He is an able, a faithful and an efficient officer. Having served the city in some." (src. Mar 1, 1890 Dallas Times Herald) capacity as peace officer during the past sixteen years, being first elected to his present position in 1881, he is well known and justly popular. The large majority he received at the polls at the last election over an able opponent was a merited tribute to his worth as an officer and his popularity as a citizen. he has lost none of that confidence and esteem during his present term, which is drawing to a close and which he asks to be extended

His Condition, Regarded as Critical from the Very First, was Never Changed Till Death Relieved His Sufferings.

Capt. J. C. Arnold, chief of police, died at 8:10 o'clock last night at his home, 451 Commerce street, as a result of a gunshot wound in his right leg.

As stated in this paper yesterday, Capt. Arnold was shot Friday afternoon by the accidental discharge of a shotgun loaded with No. 8 shot in the hands of Rev. George W. Truett, pastor of the First Baptist church of Dallas, while hunting on the farm of ex-Sheriff Boyd of Johnson county, eight miles from Cleburne. The charge of shot took effect in the right leg midway between the knee and ankle, tearing away a large piece of flesh and about four inches of the smaller bone. Mr. Truett quickly got out a large silk handkerchief and Capt. Arnold bandaged the wound with it and by means of the barrel of his gun, twisted it tightly. Mr. Truett called to Rev. G. W. Banner, the third member of the party, who was in another part of the field. The two men assisted Capt. Arnold to the buggy. As they were lifting him in the vehicle, he said:

"Gentlemen, I am going to faint a little while. Now, don't get alarmed. Just throw a few drops of water in my face."

They did as he requested and he soon came to, on which, he requested Mr. Truett to go on ahead to Mr. Boyd's and see about a doctor. Mr. Truett was very fortunate in readily finding Dr. Harris. After Capt. Arnold had reached Mr. Boyd's and the doctor had arrived, Mr. Truett was overcome with nervous prostration, and fainted away himself, and was, for some time, apparently in a worse condition than the wounded man.

At Capt. Arnold's request, Mr. Truett came to Dallas a train ahead of him. He wished him to tell the straight of the accident. He said if he telegraphed the people, [he] would be sure to get it all wrong.

Capt. Arnold arrived on the Santa Fe train yesterday morning and was conveyed to his home. At that time, there had been no reaction or rally from the first shock of the wound. But, it was hoped that the reaction would certainly come in a few hours and the most hopeful view of his condition was taken by the wounded man's friends, this paper sharing such hopes. But, as the hours passed without any symptoms of a reaction, other physicians were called in to consultation. They agreed that the loss of blood had been very great, and proceeded to supply the deficiency in the life fluid by injecting warm salt water into his veins and giving him drugs to revive him. But, his heart did not respond. He had bled to death, they said. He was conscious at times, but flighty. At 5 p.m., he began to visibly sink, and, at 8:10, he died.

The news that Capt. Arnold had been accidentally shot was received by his friends throughout the city with profound regret, but it was hard for them to understand how a strong man shot in the calf of the leg could be in a critical condition, as he was reported to be. And, when toward the middle of the afternoon, it was reported that the doctors had given him up, the truth was difficult to realize. Was it possible that the boastful sciences of medicine and surgery could not save a man with a little wound in his leg? It was possible.

"He was one of the best and truest men I never knew," remarked an old friend and acquaintance of the deceased last night. In that remark, he voted the sentiment of every man who really knew the deceased. He was one of the few men who start out in life on what they conceive to be the right course, and then hold steadily to it. The people knew him to be not only honest, but capable, and that was why they kept on electing him chief of police, and would, no doubt, have continued to do so had he lived. He was a natural born officer, and he could discharge his duties towards all sorts of characters without having to trouble with them. He was perhaps the only old western officer with anything like his experience who did not have more or less killing to do. Nearly all of the old time desperadoes, who made it a business to shoot up towns all over the West, threatened time and again to come to Dallas and try it on. Many of them even sent Capt. Arnold word they were coming, but somehow they never got here, or in the few instances in which they did come, they behaved themselves.

Capt. was vice president of the National Police Chiefs and City Marshals' union, and president of the Texas union. He was the organizer of the Police Benevolent association in this city.

Capt. Arnold carried about $12,000 worth of life insurance, distributed among several companies and fraternal orders. The exact amount, nor the names of the companies, could not be ascertained last night, though the amount given is approximately correct.

The funeral will take place Tuesday, the hour to be announced later.

James C. Arnold, chief of police of the city of Dallas, was born near Wellington, Morgan county, Georgia, April 29, 1851. His parents were W. B. and Martha B. (Bostwick) Arnold, both natives of Georgia. His father was a merchant of Social Circle, Walton county, Georgia, at the commencement of the war, and enlisted in the Confederate service as private and served until the war closed, mostly on the coast of Georgia. He was a supporter of Breckenridge and Lane in the presi-dential race in 1860, and a strong advocate of state rights, and was for many years, a prominent member of the Baptist church. He was born August 31, 1820. Martha B., his wife, was born August 24, 1824, and died August 15, 1854, a member of the Baptist church from early childhood. There were born to these parents, seven children, three of whom died at an early age. John H., the oldest, at the commencement of the war, enlisted for six months, defending the coast of Georgia, but later joined the Fifty-third Georgia regiment and served under General Longstreet until the time of his death, December 26, 1862. William T., the second son, served in the Second Georgia regiment during the war and is still living, and has been for sixteen or eighteen years, district and county clerk of Sabine county, Texas. Emma D. Arnold, their daughter, sister of James C., the wife of M. A. Parker, is living in Atlanta, Georgia; Mr. Parker served in the Fifty-third Georgia regiment during the war under Longstreet.

James Carter Arnold, the subject of this sketch, was raised in Morgan and Walton counties, Georgia, went to school at Social Circle and old Fair Play, same state, and left his home for Carroll county, Mississippi, on the 14th of February, 1866, and there worked on a farm for P. H. Echols, W. A. Gayden and Col. J. D. McLemore, and in December, 1869, came to Texas to Dr. R. S. McLemore (a son of Col. J. D. McLemore), who owned Camp's Ferry, on Sabine river, in Upshur county, and lived with him until 1871, when McLemore sold the Ferry to A. Ferguson and W. L. Wilbrun; he was then in their employ until the fall of 1872; he then went in to partnership with E. B. Winn in supplying contractors with beef. The contractors were building the first fourteen miles of railway from Longview west. He then went from there to Fort Worth, expecting to be engaged in the same business, but the railroad suspended operations west of Dallas. He then followed the grocery business for a time, connecting himself with the firm of Connell, Arnold & co., at Fort Worth. He remained there for a short time. He closed out and came to Dallas in April, 1874, and has been a resident of Dallas ever since.

After coming to Dallas, he was engaged in different vocations, first in the meat business and then in the hide business, until November 5, 1874, when he was appointed on the police force of the city of Dallas under General W. L. Cabell, mayor, and June Peak, marshal. He served as patrolman and mounted officer until 1879, when he was appointed deputy city marshal under W. F. Morton, who was then city marshal. In June, 1881, he was appointed city marshal, vice W. F. Morton, resigned, and then an election was ordered to fill the unexpired term of W. F. Morton, at which election he was chosen, and has held the position of city marshal and chief of police ever since that time by virtue of an election and the choice of the people of Dallas up to the present time. During these periods of elections for chief of police of the city of Dallas, from 1881, up to the present time, he has had only five opponents, and at the last city Democratic convention, which was held April, 1892, he was the unanimous choice of that convention as the nominee of the Democratic party for the office, and was elected without opposition. This would have been his twenty-fourth year as a member of the police force, and during all these years of service, both as a subordinate, and an official, his acts have been for the fulfillment of the law without endangering life or limb to those violating the law, which was his sworn duty to have executed. By, and under, his jurisdiction, the police department has grown in efficiency from year to year, until now, it is regarded as being without a peer in any city of a similar size in the United States. He was ready, quick and genial in his manner, cool and clear-headed, and his wonderful success in dealing with men was due to these qualifications, together with the courage displayed by him in his official capacity in arresting many desperate criminals and violators of the law. He was a member of the following charitable and benevolent orders: Masonic, K. of P., I. O. O. F., and the Elks.

He was married in 1871, to Miss Callie Staples, daughter of David W. and M. A. Staples of Talladega, Alabama. She is an estimable Christian lady, a member of the First Baptist church, of which church, Mr. Arnold was a member for about eighteen years. The effect of the accident of Rev. Mr. Truett, the innocent cause of it, amounted to prostration. On reaching home, he took to his bed, and gave himself up to the most gloomy reflections. An ordinary man who had committed a deliberate murder, could not have been a prey to greater agitation. He sent one messenger after another to ascertain the condition of Capt. Arnold, and refused to give way to sleep. Two or three doctors visited him off and on all day. Last night, they gave him a drug to induce sleep, and gave orders that he was not to know of the death of Capt. Arnold until he had had some sleep, as they would not be responsible for the consequences of breaking the news to him in the then unstrung condition of his nerves.

Mr. Truett's regret is all the more profound on account of the fact that he did not wish to go hunting. Capt. Arnold, once a year, went hunting with Rev. Mr. Baines on Capt. Boyd's farm. They had a standing engagement for such hunt for several years. On Wednesday, Mr. Baines phoned Capt. Arnold to remind him of their engagement for this year, and told him to bring along Rev. Geo. W. Truett. Capt. Arnold called for Mr. Truett, who, having no love for hunting, and knowing next to nothing about guns, and being absorbed in church work, declined to go. Capt. Arnold and Mrs. Truett, together, just made him go, both of them under the impression that a little recreation would be wholesome for him.

The regular Saturday meeting of the Elks was adjourned out of respect to the memory of Brother J. C. Arnold, after appointing a committee to perfect arrangements for the funeral.

Attention Elks: There will be a special meeting of Dallas Lodge No. 71, at their lodge rooms at 10:30 Sunday (to-day) morning, Feb. 6, 1898, to take suitable action regarding the death of Brother J. C. Arnold. All are requested to attend.
