MAHLON B. S. ARNER,
farmer, post-office Orangeville, Ohio, was born in Lawrence County,
Penn., April 12, 1836, and is a son of John and Mary (Myers) Arner, the
former a native of Westmoreland County, and the latter of Columbia
County, Penn. They were married in Lawrence County, and reared seven
children: Lavina, Mary Ann, Magdalena, Mahlon, Lydia H., deceased; John,
deceased, and Sarah, deceased. In September, 1849, the family came to
West Salem Township, where the father resided until his death. His widow
returned on a visit to her daughter in Lawrence County, and there died.
They were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in politics Mr.
Arner was a Democrat. With the exception of six years in the coal
business, our subject has resided on the old homestead since 1849. He
was married August 7, 1858, to Anna M. Mohr, a native of Germany, who
has borne him eight children: Alpheus C., Margaret E., wife of Frank
Aubel; Emma J., Philena, Lorinda, Belle L., George and Anna L.
Politically Mr. Arner has always been a Democrat and a stanch adherent
of Democratic principles.
