Harold Ruby Arnold was in love with his hometown of Cynthiana.

Mr. Arnold, a magistrate on the Harrison County Fiscal Court, died Saturday in Harrison Memorial Hospital, Cynthiana. He was 79.

A retired automobile salesman for several dealerships, Mr. Arnold had served 15 years on the fiscal court and was making plans to run again. A Democrat, he served county District Two.

but then he would run again. His district had been made larger, and he felt he should run once more. He wanted to serve 20 years. . .that was important to him," said Mrs. Johnson.
