Arthur Wetherelt was a Cornish miner, engineer and friend to anyone who crossed his path. Mining had been in Arthur's family for many generations and he would often talk about the hardships and tragedies of life underground. He recounted the story of a fellow miner being killed right next to him when part of the rocky roof had come down around them. Arthur then had the painful task of walking to the deceased mans home and informing his widow of her husbands demise.
Arthur and his wife Dru ran a fish and chip shop in Camborne and went out of their way to feed and look after the overseas students who were studying at Camborne School of Mines. Many a lonely student found fellowship and warmth after meeting the Wetherelt's .
Arthur first came across the Bahai Faith when he noticed a vehicle parked in his neighbours driveway displaying a sticker 'One Planet One People'. He made enquiries about the faith and very quickly became inspired by its teachings. Arthur would regularly set up a Bahai Faith exhibition stand at events like Murdoch Day in Redruth . He was also part of the team that created a replica of the Murdoch Steam Engine - one of the first steam vehicles in the world that is proudly displayed on a roundabout on the entrance to the town near Tesco. Arthur and his wife Drusilla are both buried at Killivose Cemetry on the outskirts of Camborne - address:
