| Notes |
- From family group record by brother Leslie H. Arbogast and story with photo of
Arlie and Adis on their 50th wedding anniversary, 30 Apr. 1977 in Hershey, PA.
Arlie indicates he was born in Barbour Co. like his parents George Washington
Arbogast and Roxanna R. Row. His parents were married in 1888. It is probably
a typo that his father is called Geo. Wash., not Washington Sherman as
indicated by his brother Leslie although the article was submitted by him.
More likely his fathers name was George Washington Sherman Arbogast, not
unusual in the Arbogast line, and each son shortened the name for everyday use.
Arlie continues that his father was born near Belington and lived there until
his death. Arlie attended public school through all grades at Junior, WV,
married Adis in 1927 when she came to Junior to teach. They lived in Junior 21
years where their children, Connie and Joe were born and attended grade school.
They went to Belington High School. Arlie worked in and around the mines until
work got so slack it was impossible to make a living and send our children to
college, which they were determined to do. From their church paper they
learned that the Milton Hershey School in Hershey, PA needed houseparents.
They lived and worked there until retirement in 1963 and continued to live
there at the time of the article in 1977. Article is from Centennial Book of
Barbour County, West Virginia Room, Univ. of WV, Morgantown, WV.
