Arnold Henry Wagner, a noted musicologist and language expert, was born to William Henry Wagner (d. 1895) and Harriet Parmelia Arnold (d. 1908) of Lisbon, St. Lawrence County, New York.
Arnold's grandparents were Jacob Wagner (1807-1886) and Mary LaTrace (1813-1899), both natives of the Dickinson's Landing/Cornwall/Osnabruck communities of Stormont County, Canada.
Arnold's father's siblings were: Jacob E., Dwight, Sarah L. (1847-1930 and m. Joe Martin), Hattie (1859-1947 and m. Wallace Kelvington), Joseph (m. Mary Clark), Mary Ann (m. David Simmons), George C. (1838-1924), James R. (1845-1936), Charles E. (1852-1929) and William H. (d.1895).
Arnold had four brothers and two sisters: Byron L. of Lisbon, New York; Frank W. of Oswego, New York; Herbert E. of St. John, Washington; Everett P. of Waterbury, Connecticut; Addie L. of Lisbon, New York; and Jenette M. Melhinch, of Appleton, Wis.
He taught school in the Philippines from 1901-1904. Between 1913 and 1920 he was the music supervisor for the Santa Monica school system.
