Mary Arnold
Miss Mary Louise Arnold, 81, of Maysville, long-time columnist for The
Jackson Herald and The Banks County News, former Maysville mayor and
retired teacher, died Wednesday, April 16, 2003, at Athens Regional
Medical Center. A native of Banks County, Miss Arnold was born December 5,
1921, a daughter of the late Noah Avery and Tressie Hill Arnold. She was a
member of Maysville Baptist Church and a member of the Retired Teachers’
Association. She is remembered for devoting herself to teaching Sunday
School in Maysville and Vacation Bible School throughout Georgia. Miss
Arnold attended elementary school in Maysville with her two older sisters,
Helen and Hilda. She graduated from Maysville High School in 1939, then
attended Piedmont College and Toccoa Falls College. Like her mother before
her, Miss Arnold also chose the teaching profession and spent her teaching
years at Dry Pond, Gillsville and Alpharetta. She is remembered for
“seeming to never forget a face, a name, or detail.” She returned to
Maysville after retiring from teaching. After retirement, Miss Arnold
served as the mayor of Maysville in the 1970s, and, in fact, was the first
female mayor in Jackson County. Also like her mother, who wrote a news
column for many years for The Jackson Herald, Miss Arnold continued that
family tradition. She incorporated stories of her students, her beloved
Maysville community and general local news in her columns for both the
Jackson and Banks county newspapers. Miss Arnold frequently mentioned her
friend and housemate, Medora Adams, her nephew Dr. John Arnold, her
sister, Hilda Candler, and other family members and friends in her weekly
writings, usually submitted to the newspaper as handwritten on yellow or
white legal paper. In recent Maysville News “social” columns, Miss Arnold
encouraged Maysville residents to join in the effort to clean up the town,
wrote about the town’s centurians, passed along information about who was
ill at the time of writing and whose family had suffered a loss. She
provided addresses for Maysvillians now living elsewhere, told who had
entertained visitors or traveled out of town, and applauded the
accomplishments of local students. Miss Arnold’s final social column for
The Jackson Herald and The Banks County News was published on March 26,
2003. It began: “The rain has really been making the grass grow fast. It
is quite different from last year. Also it is very welcome in that we hope
the summer won’t be a dry one.” After continuing with commentary on the
Vidalia onion crop, a listing of visitors and an account of the previous
Sunday’s sermon, Miss Arnold ended her column with a wish for the soldiers
fighting overseas. She wrote: “Our prayers go out to all the boys in the
war and to their families. We who have lost loved ones know the real
meaning of this.” Miss Arnold, who remembered the World War II days, was
featured in the Jackson and Banks county papers in 2001 commenting on the
revival of a World War II cookbook that was organized during the early
1940s by the Maysville PTA and teachers, including her mother. Funeral
services were held at 11 a.m. Friday, April 18, at Maysville Baptist
Church with the Revs. Brian Stowe and Robert Scruton officiating. Dr. John
Hardin and Barbara Holcomb also participated. Burial was in Sunrise
Cemetery, Maysville.
Miss Arnold is survived by a sister, Hilda Candler, Rome. The family
suggests that any contributions in Miss Arnold’s memory be made to
Maysville Baptist Church. Little-Ward Funeral Home, Commerce, was in
charge of arrangements.
