Son of Emanuel Falker and Mary Jane Olewiler. Was a lineman for the York Telephone Company, and was electrocuted while working on a phone line. He was married at the time of his death to Edna Minerva Seeger, daughter of William and Amelia Seeger.

There is much confusion surrounding two Edna M. Falklers who were born in 1895 and married Falkler brothers. One was Edna Minerva Seeger who married Arthur Falkler, and the other was Edna May Klinedinst who married Arthur's brother Ivan Bryan Falkler. The marriages took place within two months of each other:
