He spent the first winter in Fairfield township, where Leesburgh now is, with John Walters, and attended school. He was the youngest of seven brothers, and his mother having died when he was but two years old, his home was with his uncles, who lived in Fairfield. Afterward he lived with his older brother, Pleasant Arthur, and, still later, was associated with him in business. This brother lived five miles from Hillsborough, and in 1812 both moved to town. Pleasant Arthur was a skilled master carpenter, and of him Christopher learned the trade of carpenter and cabinet maker, and continued with him until he was twenty-one. The brothers were among the principal builders in the town, during the time that a better class of dwellings was taking the place of the first log cabins. Christopher continued in Hillsborough, working at this trade, until 1851. He was one of the contractors in building Governor Trimble's place and the court house, and his last job was on Colonel William H. Trimble's residence. "In 1851 he removed to the farm of two hundred acres on Clear creek, which he had purchased twenty-five years before, and where he now resides. In March, 1820, he was married to Nancy Rhoades. They have had twelve children, eleven arriving at maturity. Eight sons and two daughters are still living. William R. has lived for several years in Chicago, and was, for some years, superintendent of the Illionis Central railroad. Samuel, the second son, lives in southern Illinois, and is a farmer. The third son, Thomas, died in infancy. Pleasant Arthur, the fourth son, lives in Champaign, Illinois, formerly a carpenter, but now a farmer. Margaret, Mrs. Evans, died in 1854. John R. lives in Kansas--also a farmer. Mary Elizabeth, Mrs. Glenn, a widow, lives with her father. Sarah Jane, Mrs. Hill, resides on Clear creek. Charles B. lives in Burlington, Iowa, and is second foreman in a machine shop. Joseph Henry lives in Council Bluffs, and is agent for the Blue Line Transportation company. John William lives at home, unmarried. "Dudley C. lives on a part of the home farm. Captain Benjamin Arthur, the father of Christopher Arthur, served in the war of the Revolution, and came to Ohio to join his sons in 1818, and died in March 1820, eighty-three years of age, at the home of his son, Pleasant Arthur. Mrs. Christopher Arthur died May 27, 1874." ===== See Ayres, Elsie Johnson, Highland Pioneer Sketches & Family Genealogies [use with caution], pp. 738-741, re the Arthur family.
