He served the Santa Fe in the capacity of operator in numerous places, and on May 27, 1913, he was married to Miss Bertha Hale also of this city.On July 7, 1918, while living in Fullerton, California, Arlo enlisted in the service of his country in the signal service, and on the 20th of September sailed for France. On Oct. 12, his wife, who had returned to Protection after her husband had entered the service, received his over seas card stating that he had landed safely in France, and on the 20th of November she received the message stating that he had died on October 10, 1918 from the effects of pneumonia. He leaves to mourn his untimely departure, besides his young widow and his parents, three brothers, Eugene Homer, John Wayne and Kirby Wallace.
