NS... ANDL CALLED BY DEAT Former Winnetka Social Welfare Leader Dies in California Home PAID HIGH TRIBUTE Former Pastor Tells of Her Beautiful Life By REV. Q. L. DOWD (Former pastor of the Winnetka Con- gregational church.) Mrs. Charles C. Arnold (nee Eliza- beth Tittle) died at their cottage hy the sea near Riverside, Cal.,, July 8, after an acute illness of six weeks. Her husband writes: "She was nearly all the time her vivid, dear self, plan- ning for the comfort and welfare of others." Mrs. Arnold had been a semi-invalid for a number of years, yet even after their removal to the beautiful home at Riverside, she led in active service in causes of social amelioration. Several years have passed since the Arnolds broke up their Winnetka home (now owned by Mr. Frank North) so long a center of gracious hospitality and good works. Soon after their mar- riage in 1896 they came to Winnetka to create a new home and share in the village abundant life, Mrs. Ar- nold"s girlhood days were spent at Johnstown, Pa., where her parents' home was at the time of the calami- tous Johnstown flood. It was the lot of this young woman, a Vassar grad- uate, to share with Miss Clara Barton in the vast relief work of the Red Cross society as it ministered to the necessities of 30 many homeless fami- lies and orphans. Social Welfare Leader Her keen interest in social welfare efiorts led her to come to Hull House, where Mr. Arnold was also enlisted in its neighborhood services. What Winnetkan idyllic period, who bore joyous part in the group life of them who deeply cared for all cur village people, but remembers Mrs. Arnold's generous presence! She had a way with her-- that welcoming smile and hand.

A. Lodge. Winnetka Council 1131, Royal Arcanum, will, therefore, hold its next council meeing, Monday, August 7, not in the council chambers but on Regent Brother Meleney's lawn, at 1097 Oak street (near the new Skokie School); a cool, comfortable, jolly evening is promised for all you brothers who are zoing to attend. Regular business will be transacted and social features will follow. A gentle reminder will follow in next week's issue. This is to give due notice of the fact that we may have a well attended meeting. Our last meeting, July 17, proved very interesting; Past Regent Brother Perry of Progressive Council 940, gave an interesting talk on the work of Progressive council and R. A. work in general. Many important questions came to the fore and some of these will be settled at the next meeting. Mr. Robert Kingery, 809 Pine street, left last week for California. He ex- pects to be gone about six weeks. -_-- Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Scully, 1040 Oak street, announce the birth of a hoy:on July 8. «Qe Miss Marie Taylor, of Asbury ave- nue, spent Thursday with friends in Milwaukee, 000000000000 00000000000004 4 LJ » Delicious Ice Cream Birthday Cakes Catered to your Individual order Mrs. Smith 819 Oak Phone 112 Winnetka | Hubbard Woods gE Cash Grocery and Market | --r WINNETKA 1700-1701-1702 PHONES 890 Linden Ave. Hubbard Woods Four Deliveries Daily Regardless of Price, the Quality of Qur Merchandise Is Always Up To Standard ¥ loved them both, for, didn't they love the dogs and horse whose very names were a household pride? Affection is such a wide reality arguing the high- est, though not rarest, grade in human evolution and education. Those years of life investment by the Arnolds in Winnetka leave their permanent im- press. Such friendships do not fade out; such social services do not end with the doing. Such devotion to bless- ed aims adds something imperishable to a good town's traditions. "Something of merit, something of renown, Belongs to each soul's Heavenly crown." Leaders in Vilage Mr. and Mrs. Arnold lived in Win- netka from 1896 to 1913 and took an active part in the town's affairs, Mr. Arnold was a member of the Village Library board for several terms, and village attorney for some years.
