THE FLAGLER TRIBUNE
Bunnell, Florida
Thursday, December 22, 1955
The missing body of John Arnold, 28, was found about noon Monday by Marcus Dunson, Ray Carle and Paul Kelly, three of the great number of persons who had been searching the Graham Swamp area since he disappeared December 10 while hunting hogs.
The body was found a mile or more from where he had left his truck parked. A dead hog with its feet tied was lying at the feet of Arnold.
Coroner Duane Deen called a jury and viewed the remains but requested an autopsy before rendering a verdict. The autopsy has not yet been made. It is understood that a part of the body has been sent to the FBI laboratory in Washington for examination.
A rifle Arnold had carried had been disassembled and lay near the body. The rope with which he apparently had tied his catch dog was still attached to the body but the dog had been freed and was seen nearby.
Where the search had been made for Arnold is extremely rough and swampy, and Dunson had used a bulldozer over a lot of the ground, Raymond Smith, civil defense director here, said today. Smith said that Dunson saw a number of buzzards fly up suddenly and called to Mr. Carle and Mr. Kelly who were also searching and the three walked up to the body.
Funeral services will be held from the First Baptist Church here Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. E. W. Ware, pastor of the church, officiating. Interment will be in Espanola Cemetery with Masters Funeral Home of Palatka in charge.
He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Arnold of Bunnell: a baby daughter, Teresa Clarice; three stepsons, Harry, Richard and Mickey Stuckey of Bunnell; four brothers, Joseph, Jr., of Flagler Beach; Lloyd of Lakeland: Marylon of St. Augustine, and Willard with the U. S. Army at Ft. Bragg, N. C.; one sister, Mrs. Mamie Mears of Port Orange.
