Rev. Stark W. Arnold, son of Jonathan Arnold, was born in Beverly, December, 20, 1851. Early in life he was appointed to a clerkship in the Interior Department at Washington, where he remained about seven years. During this period he took the law course, graduating from the Columbia Law School. He then came to Beverly, locating soon afterwards at Buckhannon, engaging in the practice of his profession. In the fall of 1876 he was a candidate for the office of Prosecuting Attorney of Upshur County, and was elected by an overwhelming majority—the largest that had been given a candidate in that county at that time. On account of his father failing in health, requiring his personal attention, he returned to Beverly to reside in the year 1879, and continued there until after his father's death in 1883. During this last residence at Beverly he was elected to the Senate from that Senatorial District, serving out the full term of four years, introducing and successfully carrying through several measures of legislation that attracted considerable attention throughout the State—notably, the election law, the changes then made leading up to the present system. It was while serving in the Senate that he concluded to do that which had long been a subject of deep consideration with him, viz. : to go into the ministry. In order to prepare himself for this, he entered Drew Theological Seminary, where he remained and completed his theological course. Shortly afterwards he began his ministerial work in the State of New York, where he continued in active work to the end of his life, preaching his last sermon only three weeks preceding his death. In December, 1880, he married Miss Lizzie Gohen, of Cincinnati. She and four children survive him.
