RAYMOND C. ARLIN
RAYMOND C. ARLIN.--A native son of California, and one who has spent his entire life within the confines of the state, Raymond C. Arlin was born in Lockeford, September 22, 1890, a son of George F. and Maggie E. Arlin, who were the parents of six children, as follows: Gleason, Raymond C., Velma, Theresa, Neva and Cyril. The father was a butcher, and had a shop near the old Graham drug store when Lodi was still in its infancy as a town, before the beginning of the grape era. This pioneer merchant died in 1900, but the mother is still living, at Woodbridge, Cal.
Raymond C. Arlin was educated at the Salem school in Lodi. Starting in life for himself, in 1909 he came to the delta country of the Sacramento River. Since that time he has been at Walnut Grove, where for thirteen years he was with the general merchandise store of Alexander Brown; and when the business was taken over by Nelson Barry, he remained with the new management, and is still filling the position in life to which he has been called.
The marriage of Mr. Arlin, which occurred at Isleton, March 29, 1913, united him with Pearl Hutton, a native of Isleton, where she was reared and educated, and a daughter of William H. and Anna Hutton. Two sons have blessed the union of Mr. and Mrs. Arlin, Ray and William Vernon. Mr. Arlin has witnessed many changes in this section of the state, and is interested in the further development of its possibilities for the benefit of generations to come.
