He attended Franconia Elementary School until 1944. In 1950, Arthur was drafted into the United States Army and served as a Private First Class during the Korean Conflict. He was held as a Prisoner of War from May 1951 until August 1953.
Throughout his working life, Arthur was employed as a janitor for several local businesses, including Schoeneman, Lehigh Valley Dairy in Lansdale, French's of Souderton, Franconia School, and Fluid Energy of Hatfield. He retired in the early 1990s. Arthur was a member of Emmanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church.
