Biography

Ed Arnold was born in 1887 in Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory. He was the son of Elijah Arnold and Nancy Wigitton^[1]. He married relatively late in life, at age 50, to Miss Letha Allison^[2], had at least one daughter by her^[3], and passed away in 1953^[4][5].

Research Notes

Ed's date of birth on his headstone (and in his Find A Grave memorial) is in disagreement with official documents^[2][6]. It happens. This note is here because sooner or later the Data Doctors will notice the discrepancy.
