Excerpt from In Memoriam: Isaac Newton Arnold, Nov 30, 1813 Apr, 24, 1884, Arthur Mason Arnold, May 13, 1858 Apr; 26; 1873 Reared among the romantic hills of Otsego, he drank in from his earliest childhood the very spirit of poetry. Intense love for the home of his youth clung to him through life, and in his last sickness his mind would often wander back, and a longing for a sight of the blue hills of Otsego found expression on his trembling lips. The following extracts from his journal show his deep affection for Cooperstown, and the whole of Otsego County, crowded as was his memory, with the rich associations of boyhood.
