SMITH, W. Arnold - 90, Shinimicas, passed away on Thursday, May 4, 2006 in Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre in Upper Nappan, surrounded by his loving family. Born September 20, 1915 in Baie Verte, N.B., he was a son of the late William Renaldo and Lillie Victoria (Oulton) Smith. After graduating from Amherst Academy in 1933, Arnold worked in the woods building roads, driving teams, worked in the saw mill for his dad and did some survey work for Charles H. Read, an Amherst lumberman. In the 1940's he also did some work for the government, breaking up land with his own equipment and loading gravel. From 1936 until late 1978 Arnold was heavily involved in the logging industry while maintaining the family farm in Shinimicas. He logged for himself as well as for the T.C. Glennie Lumber Company (1949-51) and the McLellan (Cobequid) Lumber Company (1951-78). In late 1978 Arnold retired from the logging business and farmed full time. During his farming years he did a lot of land clearing to increase acreage. He never fully retired from farming until late 2005. Arnold was a member of Sunrise Trinity United Church, a choir member for many years, a church elder, a member of Sunrise Senior Citizens and a former member of the Cumberland County Beef Producers and the Cumberland County Federation of Agriculture, serving as both director and president. He enjoyed reading, gardening and watching hockey and wrestling. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family and genealogy.
