Arthur Van Waardhuizen was born on June 1, 1914, to William and Anna Henrietta (Vande Kieft) Van Waardhuizen, near Otley. He received his early education at the Liberty Corner School near Otley and was a graduate of the Pella High School.

In 1934 Arthur was united in marriage to Catherine Vos.

After several years of marriage Arthur and Catherine went their separate ways. In 1966 Arthur married Margarete Craft. Art liked the western states and moved to the Phoenix area for several years and was the owner of a mobile home sales lot.
