Arnold, 92, of Hayton, passed away at Calumet Medical Center in Chilton. He was born fifth of 12 children, in the Town of Charlestown, son of the late Martin & Magdalena (Gruber) Geiser. He married Madeline Mueller on June 9, 1942, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sherwood. Arnold farmed his entire life in the Town of Charlestown and also worked for Christel and Ninmer in New Holstein where he undertook many tasks, but was especially proud that he worked on Oliver tractors.
