Arthur Garner Welbon (1866-1928) was born into a family of laborers and farmers and was called to be a missionary to Korea in 1900. In the mission field, he met his wife Sadie Harvey Nourse and served until 1919, when they returned home due to her illness. Although Arthur returned to mission field in 1921, his wife Sadie could not join him and died in the States in 1925. Arthur served until his death from typhoid fever in 1928 and was buried in Yanghwajin Foreign Missionary Cemetery beside their two children.
