Nathan (Nate) A. Arnold left Columbia last Sunday evening en route to his home, three miles distant. He passed Yankee Hill about eight o'clock and successfully crossed the creek beyond, but how he did it in the face of the high waters is a mystery.
His journey continued two or three hundred yards farther and the chord of life snapped.
Upon his body beat the severe storm of that night and Monday.
A few minutes before nine, Tuesday morning, the son of George Mapes on his way to school found the rigid corpse.
Deputy Coroner Harry Burden investigated and became satisfied that no inquest was necessary as the deceased was lying on his back and bore no evidence of foul play nor was there any indication of a struggle. He simply fell backwards by a reason of a weakened heart that had been greatly overtaxed that night.
Nate Arnold was among the early settlers in this county and his life was devoted to the search for gold. In that occupation he was successful more than once. About sixteen years ago he could count his coin by the thousands, but his open hearted generosity and unceasing pursuit of the hidden metal reduced him to the plains of a prospector.
In affluence or in want, he was the same smiling, jovial, cheerful and fun-loving miner. His failings were of his own making and his friends of early days thought none of the less of him because of them.
He leaves an invalid wife and two step-daughters, one of whom is Mrs. J. B. Pownall.
Deceased was a native of Rhode Island and aged 75. He has a quiet and peaceful home in the Masonic cemetery in Columbia, the funeral services having been observed Wednesday morning.
