John F. Arnold was a lawyer and served Tishomingo county many years as a Circuit Judge. He represented Tishomingo county in the legislature of the state in 1848 (src. "Abstract of Goodspeed Mississippi" book 1962, page 48). He was born in the Abbeville District of South Carolina October 22, 1826, but grew to manhood in Mississippi. He was practically educated there and prepared himself for the law. During the rebellion, he served in the Mississippi 32nd as a quartermaster with the rank of Major, in the Confederate service, and married a Tippah county lady, Miss Julia Fields, in 1855. Following the war, he returned to his profession and was closely identified with it the remainder of his busy life. He was a Chapter Mason, and in his political views a Democrat. His wife, survived him five years.
John Arnold entered into a partnership with a Robert A. Hill, in Jacinto, Mississippi. He was then, and had been for a number of years, a probate Judge for the county. This partnership continued until May 1866. In 1876, John Arnold and his family left Mississippi and moved to Fort Worth, Texas where he and his son, Robert Frederick Arnold opened their law firm "Arnold and Arnold". When the Federal Courts left Fort Worth and moved to Young County, Texas, John and his family moved also.
"Death of Judge Arnold - Judge J. F. Arnold died Monday night of pneumonia, after an illness of about ten days. The remains were buried by the Masonic fraternity, of which he had been an honored member of years, having filled the highest office in the subordinate and Grand Lodge and Chapter.
