"ELI ARNOLD, an active and enterprising business man of Mount Zion, where he is engaged in mercantile pursuits, is a native of Ohio, born in Wayne County, June 12, 1829, a son of Samuel B. and Mary (Phillips) Arnold. His father was a native of Maryland and of English and German ancestry, and at an early age was taken by his parents to Pennsylvania. When twelve years of age he went with his parents to Wayne County, Ohio, and there he grew to manhood, and was married to Mary Phillips, who was born in the State of New York, of English descent. They made their home in Wayne County until about the year 1835, when they removed to Medina County, Ohio, and from there came to Wells County, Indiana, in October; 1838, by ox team, being three weeks in making the journey. Eighty acres of timber land had been entered in Jackson Township for Mr. Arnold before they came out, and while he was clearing a small place and building his cabin the family lived with William Clark of Chester Township, whom they had known in Ohio. Mr. Arnold's cabin was 18x20 feet in size, covered with a board and pole roof, a hole cut in the wall served for a door, and this aperture was covered with a quilt. At first they had no fireplace, and their food was cooked on a fire built between two sleepers. Samuel B. Arnold came to the county a poor man, having but 37 cents in his pocket, but being handy with tools he had no difficulty in obtaining work. Game of all kinds was abundant, and Mr. Arnold became one of the greatest deer hunters of the county. He lived to enjoy the fruits of his years of toil and to see the surrounding country change from a wilderness to its prosperous condition. He died January 16, 1875, at the age of seventy-five years. His widow still survives, and is making her home with a daughter who resides on a farm adjoining the old homestead. Although eighty years of age she is still active and does her own housework."

______________________ A Directory of Town, Villages, and Hamlets Past and Present of Buchanan County, Missouri by Arthur Paul Moser

Arnoldsville About the year 1846 or '47, Eli Arnold from Ohio erected on the present site of the village of Arnoldsville (1881), about four miles west of the Platte River, a large frame building which he equipped as a grist mill, and for a time operated it by horse power. Later he installed an engine and boiler, and used steam power. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining the necessary water, he ceased operations. After the Civil War he sold the machinery to W. B. Smith, who moved it to Agency. [2]

Eli Arnold was the first postmaster. There were other stores, and shops in the town. The present (1881) and only physician in the town is Dr. J. C. Smith, a son of the founder of Agency. (--History of Buchanan County, 1881, Birdsall, Williams & Co., p. 378.) Arnoldsville is no longer listed.

It was a post-office fifteen miles southeast of St. Joseph. (--Campbell's Gazetteer of Missouri, 1874, p. 76.)
