William M. Arnett was a farmer and a Baptist preacher and would hold services for his family in his home. Later in life he divided the farm for his sons. After his death, his son Dona Arnett bought up much of the original farm. Dona was a storekeeper, a farmer, and High Sherrif of Magoffin County. After his murder during an intentional hit and run in 1959 while Sherrif of Magoffin County, the land was divided again between his four children. His daughter Edith took over the grocery store located on The Narrows, and later his daughter Gladys became postmistress of Swampton. Most of the land owned by Dona Arnett is still held by his decendants. The family graveyard (known as Arnett Cemetery) contains the remains of William, Polly, and many of their decendants.
Burial: According to an email from GKGasper@aol.com, Arnett is buried at his farm which when he was living was called The Narrows in Swampton rather than in Royalton.
