Johnathan son of Rev. William Arnold, a Methodist minister from England, born 1766 in England.
Elizabeth Caroline (Green) Arnold (1836,IL-1902,IL) was the daughter of Jonathan Green (1812,VA-1879,IL) and Sarah (Vickery) Green (1800-1845,IL).

Obituary of Mrs. Bassett
Mary Illinoi Arnold was born near Arnold's Chapel, March 15th, 1867,
departed this life November 4, 1922, aged 55 years, 7 months and 19 days. She
was the daughter of James and Caroline Arnold, who preceded her many years ago
into the great beyond.
On August 28, 1889 she was united in marriage to Lafayette Bassett and
to this union five children were born, Harvey of Salem, James A., Clyde C. and
Ralph L. all of which survive her except the first born son.
She was united with the M.E. Church at Arnolds Chapel at the age of 15
years and never retraced her steps, having taken an active part in church work
ever after, until called to rest, to await the great and glorious judgement
day.
While comparatively young as years go, she has been a great sufferer
from physical afflictions for some fifteen years.
Besides her immediate family and two grandchildren, she leaves to mourn
her loss, seven brothers, who survive her: Erasmus, Daniel, Theodore, a
Cyrus of the immediate neighborhood; William of Salem; John Mass of Iowa, and
Charles of Washington; and Monroe, Leander and Elroy who preceded her in
death, also hosts of other relatives and friends.
The funeral service was held at the Sandy Branch Cemetery, conducted
by Rev. Monroe Smith on Sunday, Nov. 5, 1922.
