     DR. E. A. ARNOLD was a number of years a leading citizen of
Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and in his death the town and county lost a
man of high standing in every sphere of life with which he connected
himself.  He was born in the state of New Hampshire in 1825, and was
reared and educated there.  He afterward attended Yale College, and
following his graduation came to Indianapolis, Indiana, where he was
engaged in practice until 1861.  He then joined the United States
navy, and was a surgeon on board one of the cruisers throughout the
war, after which he returned to Indianapolis.
     In 1865 he married Miss Caroline F. Webber, who was born and
reared and educated in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.  Her father Dr.
Angustus Webber, was a pioneer of Christian county.  He was born in
Rockbridge county, Virginia, in 1795, and was reared there until he
was about twenty-five years old.  He was graduated from the medical
department of Georgetown University and settled in Christian county
about 1818.  He grew up with the town of Hopkinsville, and all
citizens had confidence in his professional ability and respected
him for his substantial qualities of citizenship.  He was married in
Nashville, Tennessee, to Miss Nancy Tennihill, who was born, reared
and educated in that state.  After their marriage they returned to
Hopkinsville and made that their permanent home.  They were the
parents of fourteen children: Ann, deceased; Charles W., deceased;
four who died in infancy; Elizabeth, deceased; Julia, deceased;
Katherine; Augustine, deceased; Mary, deceased; Mrs. Arnold;
William, deceased; Ada.  All were born and reared in Christian
county.  Dr. Webber was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was a very
busy man in his profession.  He died in Louisville, Kentucky, in
1875.  He was a member of the Baptist church and took an active part
in its work, having organized the present church of that
denomination at Hopkinsville, of which he was a member for over
fifty years.
     Dr. Arnold went to Iowa and began practice in Cedar Falls. 
After he had been there three years he was stricken with paralysis,
and was then compelled to travel for his health.  He afterward
located at Vincennes, Indiana, and practiced there almost a year
before his death overtook him in 1883, from the effects of the
stroke.  Dr. and Mrs. Arnold were the parents of four children,
Mary, Julia, Ada and Edward, all of whom are deceased except Julia,
who has been teaching in the Hopkinsville high school for twelve
years.  All the children were born in Illinois.
     After her husband's death Mrs. Arnold spent most of her time in
the east and in Illinois.  She came to Hopkinsville in 1886 and
bought a house and lot on Main street, where she has made her home
ever since.  She and her husband had lived for a number of years in
this city, and he was for ten years head clerk in the Hopkinsville
City Bank.
