York, N. D., Jan 4. 1920 at the age of
sixty three years.
He grew to manhood at Chester,

working for one man upon a farm for
six years, during this time by strict
economy he saved over a thousand dol
lars.
He then returned to his fathers
homestead and arranged with his par
ents to take care of them during the
remainder of their years. For this
kindness the parents offered to give
him the farm but Arthur was TOO lfair
and honest with the other heirs to per-
nit this. so be paid them, and the old
homestead became his.
This was q quality which marked
him through life. He was always hon.
est and fair in all his dealings.
Mr.. Obert was united in marriage
with Miss Agnes Cocheran about seven
years ago and has proven himself q
good, kind husband to his wife. of
whom is very worthy of such kind
usage.
MIR. Obert has during these years &C.
cumulated a good heritage of the tenn
pered blessings of life and he used
them in q way that his efforts will 60
down as blessing to many that were
near and dear to him.
The writer does not know just how
he stood in relation to the church, but
hs does know that he stood firm and
true to all those things that stood for
the better conditions of all mankind
and supported all good causes. This is
written by one who has known him for
IS years.
He leaves to mourn his untimely
death, bis wife. several nephews and
neices and host of friends Who will
miss him and respect his name. His
remsins will be laid away in the old
