[Harrison County]  [Leesburg Precinct]

THOS. B. ARNETT, farmer, P. O. Connersville.  Born in Bourbon County in
1825, his father, James Arnett, came from Virginia and died young, being
only forty-seven years old.  His grandfather was Zachariah Arnett, a
soldier in the war of 1812.  His mother, Sarah Woodgate, is still living
at the advanced age of eighty-two; she was the daughter of Jonathan and
Sarah Woods of Fayette County.  Mr. Arnett has been twice married; first
in 1848, to Miss Susan McDaniel, a daughter of George McDaniel, of
Harrison County; she died in 1855, leaving two living children, viz:
Sarah L. Matthews and Eliza Jane Cason, and Wm. B. died in 1871; then in
1867, he married Miss Maria McDaniel, sister of his first wife.  He owns
twenty-two acres of land one mile from Broadwell, but lives one-half mile
south of Leeslick.  He and wife are consistent members of the Christian
Church at Leesburg, he being an Elder, and a member of the Masonic
fraternity; he is a Democrat, and was first elected a Justice of the
Peace in 1866 and has been three times elected to the same office from
Leesburg Precinct; he had, prior to this time, served nine years as
Constable of the same precinct.  He has one thing to be proud of: having
never offered for an office without being endorsed by the people of his
precinct.  In 1881, he offered for the nomination of County Judge
against two popular and well known gentlemen, yet he was endorsed by the
people of Leesburg Precinct by a large majority.
