Thomas N. Arnold, Lawyer and Clergyman, was born February 10, 1828 in Covington, Kentucky, and is the son of James G. and Margaret (Dalton) Arnold. His grandfather, and some other members of his family, were distinguished Baptist preachers in Virginia. His father was one of the most useful and successful businessmen who ever flourished in Covington, and was, in fact, one of the founders of that city; he built the first Christian Church ever erected there; made some large donations to Kentucky University, and various other institutions; and died in Covington at the great age of eighty-four years. (See sketch of James G. Arnold). Thomas N. Arnold graduated at Bethany College, Virginia, in 1847; attended law lectures at Lexington; graduated in the Law School at Louisville in 1852; and practiced his profession for several years in Covington. In 1856, he entered the ministry of the Christian or Disciples' Church, and has been pastor of Churches in Covington, Frankfort, Lexington, Louisville, Kentucky, and Richmond, Virginia; his Church in Louisville probably being the largest of this denomination in the world; and his present charge, in Midway, is one of the most flourishing churches in the State. He is one of the most active, earnest and enterprising workers, and one of the most successful, able, and valuable ministers, in his church. Mr. Arnold was married in 1853 to Miss M. Frances Pugh, of Bourbon County, daughter of Gustavus Pugh, and granddaughter of Col. Joseph Cantrill. They have seven children.
