V. "GEORGE O. ARNOLD - Died Providence Oct. 29, 1885, aged 64 years; his name appears in the 1850 Directory as a printer, and until 1856, when he kept a periodical depot at 178 North Main street. GEORGE TAFT ARNOLD - Died Providence March 8, 1874, aged 49 years; he began work on the Journal in August, 1846, and continued there, with occasional absences, until his death. He was a charter member of Providence Typographical Union in 1857. LEWIS L. M. ARNOLD (Deacon) - Born Providence in March, 1833; began to learn printing in the office of the Daily Post, but left to go to sea. After spending several years in the coasting trade he returned to printing, working in the job office of Henry Tillinghast, on Market square, and also on the Norwich Bulletin. He served in the Navy during the Civil War; was a petty officer on the Hartford when that vessel was Farragut's flagship, and was in her during the passage of Forts Jackson and St. Philip on the Mississippi, below New Orleans. He returned to printing again in 1864 in the Journal composing room, remaining there the balance of his life. The sobriquet of 'Deacon,' by which he was known to hundreds of the craft, was given to him by George T. Arnold for the quiet, sober way in which he went about his duties. In emergencies he often acted as foreman of the Journal. He was initiated into Providence Union Feb. 11, 1871. He died at the Rhode Island Hospital Jan. 12, 1885, in the Henry B. Anthony free bed." continued in part 10.
