Obituary:
In the death of Arnold Waterfall on May 7, Settle Monthly Meeting and Friends generally have lost a valuable member. Born in 1914, brought up in the family home over the bookshop in Sheep Street, Skipton, and educated at Ackworth, he was a Quaker all his life. He left Ackworth in 1930, right in the middle of the slump years and went straight into the family shop to learn the business he was eventually to manage, being joined by his brother Sydney in 1946. The brothers co-operated well and as partners developed the shop into a thriving and very friendly concern.

Arnold married Phyllis Keegan in 1939 and after a short period in Skipton, set up in the cottage attached to the old meeting house in Airton; this was to be their home for over twenty-five years, and here an allowed meeting developed during the war years. Part of the premises was used as a hostel for evacuees from Liverpool; Arnold and Phyllis were wardens, working with Friends Relief. It was here that they made it their concern to intriduce country ways to children who had never left the city.

The ties of business were considerable, but even so, Arnold undertook a variety of tasks for Friends including membership of Meeting for Sufferings for nine years. Travelling was not as good then as now and the trip to London and back took from 2 am to midnight, getting some sleep on the way south. Also he was clerk to a joint Trust Funds Committee for Brighouse, Leeds and Settle Monthly Meetings, in which capacity he visisted Meetings Houses and Burial Grounds extensivley; in the early 80s he was a member of Quaker World Relations Committee and before that of the North West 1652 Committee.

Outside Friends work, his intrests were wide and in many cases deep. In philately, his intrest in Tibetan stamps led him to write a number of publications and to recieve world wide recognition. The sport of caving owes much to him; as one of the founders and secretary for many years of the Craven Pot Hole Club, he published Pennine Underground, a book that has become the "Bible" of cavers in the area. More than this, he helped to establish the Cave Rescue Organistation, a body that has saved many lives, and of which he was a keen supporter.

Arnold's contribution lay in the practical help that he gave in the areas of life that he touched and the friendly way he gave it.
