Arnett and his faithful dog at his Gip farm

2012

Arnett See, 88, a well-known resident of Gip (Elmira), Braxton County, was buried Sunday in the See Family Cemetery, following a service at the Stump Funeral Home in Arnoldsburg.

See is among the last old-timers of his generation in the Gip community, well-connected to the land and his neighbors.

"I've tried to do my part," See said in 2011. "Livin' here has been good to me."

He was a U. S. Navy veteran serving in World War II and was a life long farmer, heavy equipment operator and school bus driver.

The pastoral farm land at Gip is a
pleasant view, the long-gone village ...

office, among other places of trade

County rests near the Calhoun County line
