Arlo B. Lee was
born in Nutrioso to Thomas Rainey and Rhoda Frances Lee on Sept. 26, 1917. His
family consisted of nine children. He was the last of this large family to pass
away. His father was a farmer and a freighter whos life was hard and short,
dying when Arlo was eight-years-old. His mother was elected to the office of
Apache County Recorder in 1929 and moved her large brood to St. Johns where she
reared her family and died there in 1939. Arlo graduated from St. Johns High
School in 1935. He married Katy Gibbons on Aug. 10, 1940. He was a postal worker
when World War II began. He moved his family to Winslow and became a fireman on
the Santa Fe Railroad and spent three years frozen to his job when the railroad
were transporting troops across the country. After the war, he returned to the
family home in St. Johns where he ran for Apache County Assessor and was
successful. Later on he was appointed as Deputy County Sheriff. He left politics
and began working for Whiting Brother's Sawmill in Eagar as Foreman. He worked
there for 15 years but politics fascinated him. As a second job, he ran for the
office of Apache County Supervisor and again was elected. He now had two jobs,
which he maintained for 16 years. He was defeated finally and acquired the
office of Apache County Planning and Zoning. While there he was a major
influence in obtaining a grant for the building of the St. Johns City Park.
Again politics lured him and he ran again and was elected to the office of
Apache County Assessor. He did not finish his term there but retired in 1981, at
which time he and his wife completed a mission for his church in Washington D.
C. He was very active in his church all of his life, serving as Bishop, among
many other activities. While serving as County Supervisor many things were
accomplished. The addition of the "El" to the original county courthouse was
added, a grant for the building of what is now the Senior Center was obtained,
the road connecting Snowflake and St. Johns was finished and he was a major
influence in persuading Salt River Project to locate an electric power plant
near St. Johns. Arlo died Sept. 10, 2004 in Phoenix. He left a huge grieving
posterity; six children, 42 grandchildren and 95 great grandchildren. All who
knew him in the St. Johns area will greatly miss him. Funeral services for Arlo
