| Notes |
- Arthur was later adopted by his uncle, James Monroe. He married Mary Converse, a beautiful brunette. She was a Seventh Day Adventist and Arthur's family had a hard time accepting her religion. They had two daughters who were still quite young when Mary died.
Arthur's second wife, Marion was very religious. At this time, Arthur joined the choir at the Baptist church in Fowlerville, Michigan. One night after he left choir practice, he picked up some groceries and drove home. As he was carrying the groceries to the house, he was attacked. He lay unconscious all night and was found by the mover he had hired to help him pack up to move. They had just sold their home for $17,000 and the it is assumed that the assailant thought he had the cash. When the investigators went into the house, they found his wife, Marion, had been murdered in her bed. Many people feel that the murderer was a former employee, a Belgian who had come to the U.S. to work in suger beet fields. He had made advances to Arthur's wife and had been warned about that. The Belgian had been seen in the vicinity the day of the murder.
Later, Arthur married Hazel, a conniving woman who managed to get most of his savings and ended up with a divorce.
Ref. (1) says Arthur was born on 23 Mar 1871.
