HISTORY OF MY COMMUNITY - Arnoldsburg By Mattie Starcher Carper
(10/13/2023)

This is a brief history of Arnoldsburg written by the late Mattie Starcher Carper, a Calhoun school teacher. It was written for and re-printed from "Calhoun County Centennial 1856-1956" a celebration of the county.

The first actual settler was Phillip Starcher, my great-grandfather, who built his cabin where Arnoldsburg now stands, in the year 1810. Soon after his settlement he was joined by Peter Cogar, Isaac Mace, William Brannon, and Peter McCune, all of whom found homes along the West Fork. Descendants of all these men are still living in my community and I have heard them tell many interesting stories of pioneer days which have been handed down from one generation to the next.
