Arnold was known to all as the "Old Dane".

In his younger years he helped on the family farm and did various other jobs. He later moved into the Village of Withee.

In 1960 he joined the Forestry and Parks Department of Clark County. He was instrumental in getting Rock Dam, Mead, Bruce Mound and other county parks and camping areas running. He retired from that position in 1970.

In his retirement he was far from idle. He loved to make beautiful items out of wood, which he shared with family and friends. He was on the building committee for the new Nazareth Lutheran Church (Withee, Clark Co., Wis.).
