Arthur Ellis Kenyon was the son of Alonzo Kenyon and Helen Emilia (Utter) Kenyon, daughter of Charles Utter and Eunice E. Jones.
He was born in LaCross, Wisconsin. Per his obituary, he moved with his family to Boulder Creek, California at the age of 3, although the 1900 census shows him living with his family at 1232 Rose Street, LaCross, Wisconsin on 4 June 1900. Presumably, he moved to Boulder Creek, California sometime shortly after that date.
A 1910 census shows him living with his family in Santa Cruz, California at 602 Ocean Street. A second 1910 census shows him living with his mother, Helen, on Central Street, in Boulder Creek, California.
On 5 June 1917, Arthur registered for the World War I draft registration in Oakland, California. He was 21 years old, residing at 1210 13th Avenue, Oakland, California. He was single, an unemployed stenographer, at the time. He was described as short, medium build, with blue eyes, blond hair, and having a left foot disability.
