I don't know who created the Decatur, Illinois site, but the Mayor portion is incorrect. My grandfather, Ellis B. Arnold was Mayor of Decatur from May 1, 1963 to April 30, 1967. Although he ran again in 1967 for Mayor, he had to withdraw from the race due to health reasons. He was first elected to City Council for a 2-year term in May, 1959. In 1961, he was re-elected to a 4-year term as a City Councilman but resigned in 1963 when he was elected Mayor.

I would appreciate if someone could make a correction to this website. To verify this information, the City Clerk of Decatur, Illinois would be happy to verify this information, as she provided the specific dates for me, as all I had were years.

Thank you,

Ann Arnold-Norris
