"Arthur rendered signal service during the Civil War in the examination of the channels and approaches to Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, and other Southern points, after which he took thorough training in civil engineering. He achieved distinction in this field, and performed his last service in the office of chief engineer of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway in Milwaukee, where he died. An interesting account of his career was published in May 1885 in the Proceedings of the Engineers Club of Philadelphia, Vol. 5, No. 1. He was quiet, reserved, and studious; singularly pure and high-minded in character. Only in the society of very intimate friends did he show what his powers were . . . . So far as we can gather from his extensive range of professional friends, he never made a mistake in his work. This thoroughness was a trait of both his father and mother."
