    Obituary:
    Melvin Arts passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Wednesday the 3rd of June at AMC hospital after a short illness. He was born on Aug 12, 1925, son of Harriet (Kempen) and Martin Arts of Wrightstown.
    He was born and raised on his family's farm in Wrightstown. After completing high school he decided to continue farming. He met Magdeline at the Nightingale and they soon married on May 29, 1947.
    Shortly after that they bought Magdeline's family homestead farm in Vandenbroek and started farming and raising a family. He and Magdeline were very good at both, with 4 kids and 100+ acres.
    He was very successful at farming, modernizing and making constant improvements to efficiency of the milking, feeding, and cleaning functions. He was able to design these different aspects to minimize the normal back breaking work of farming, using machines to do the work where ever possible. At one time it had some of the most advanced technology in the area and was milking nearly 100 head of cattle.
    He designed a beautiful modern home with a unique style and practical features to accommodate the whole family.
    He loved spending time with his family teaching the kids respect, responsibility, and why we should not smoke. He loved his family and was very proud of us all.
    Later in life Magdeline and he would enjoy spending time with friends and family and going on casino trips. He continued to design and modify things like lawn mowers, tractors, and whatever else that he thought he could improve to his liking.
    When it came time to help his wife, when her health was failing, he was there to help her in whatever ways were necessary. He was there for her right up until the day she passed.
    He was able to live in the same home he built until 2 short weeks before his death.
