He was a blacksmith for the Omaha Railway repair shops in North Hudson from 1924 until the shops closed in 1957, except for the time he served in the U.S. Army during World War II.
From 1957-59 he lived in Phoenix, Ariz., and worked at Camelback Mountain Club. He returned to Hudson in 1959 and was employed by Nor-Lake, Inc., until retiring in July 1967.

About 16 people were present for Art's funeral services at Willow River Cemetery on September 30th. Rev. Crow said he had not known Art personally and asked if any of those present who had known him wanted to say a few words. Stan Beggs, who had gone to school with Art, recalled a quiet person, a good friend, and a good football and basketball player. Another recalled him as a fisherman, and another recalled "a darn good neighbor". (NH)
