McKinley museum honors in its name the mission to preserve the memory of William McKinley, the nation s 25th president, who was slain in 1901 by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. Arnold Funeral Home handled the local arrangements for McKinley s final services after his assassination.
Now, McKinley museum has added Arnold Funeral Home as an institutional member of the museum s board of trustees. The seat is one of six on the board reserved for businesses with a long history in Canton, according to the museum.
John Arnold Jr. will serve as the funeral home s first representative on the board. He called the appointment to the board an honor.
