James Booth Arthur
Mr. Arthur gave his political allegiance to the democratic
party and
was chosen by his fellow townsmen for public service. As mayor
of
Fort Collins he gave the city a most progressive and beneficial
administration and in the position of county commissioner,
which he
held for a number of years, he made an excellent record. He
belonged
to the Knights
of Pythias and in Masonry attained the thirty-second degree
of the Scottish Rite. His religious faith was that of the
Episcopal church. His many splendid qualities won him a host
of friends and his demise was widely and sincerely mourned.
Mrs. Arthur, who survives
her husband, lives at No. 334 East Mulberry street in Fort
Collins,
where she is well known and highly esteemed.
