They had three sons Ronald Eugene DeCoste (1933-1955), Stanley L. DeCoste (1943-2011) and another son still living.
He was the brother of Lottie M. DeCoste (1890-1891), Howard W. DeCoste (1892-1893), John W. DeCoste Jr. (1898-1902), Helen Frances DeCoste (1900-?), Mary Evelyn (Bradstreet) DeCoste (1903-1971) and Abram Warrin DeCoste (1905-1974).
On December 30, 1943, Arthur sailed out of Gloucester aboard the fishing vessel Inca bound for the winter fishing season off the coast of Norfolk, Virginia.
In January, a steamship docked in Norfolk and reported that on January 13, 1944, they struck another vessel in the Chesapeake Bay. It took some time to turn around and search for survivors but they found nothing.
