Arnold Boss is named as the interviewer on the already published Interview of Moroni Jessop by Arnold Boss, 1942–1951.1

Compiled memorials agree that he lived 1894–1969, and they disagree on the exact days. A Find a Grave memorial gives Arnold Boss as born 12 January 1894 in Midway, Wasatch County, Utah, died 3 July 1969 in Salt Lake City, buried 7 July 1969, married to Annie Jane Cooper on 7 October 1919 in Salt Lake City, and a World War I veteran.2 A compiled Social Security listing gives the same birth date and a death date of 1 July 1969, last residence Salt Lake City.3

A family history, Elizabeth Boss Kunz, includes a chapter that gives his birth as 12 November 1894 in Midway, names his parents as Johannes (John) Boss and Margaritha (Margaret) Gertsch, and gives his death as 3 July 1969. It also prints a statement, “Facts Pertaining to my History, by Arnold Boss,” dated 27 April 1961, in which he says he was born in Midway, that his father John Boss was a native of Switzerland, that he came to Salt Lake City in the spring of 1914, and that he was still living there when he wrote.4

A Dialogue article on the 1940s Utah cases lists Arnold Boss among fifteen men, with his age given as fifty-one.5 These sources place him in the Midway and Salt Lake circle in 1894–1969 and name him in the 1944 cases; they disagree on 12 January versus 12 November 1894, and on 1 July versus 3 July 1969. This page records the variants and does not choose among them. A later BYU catalog record, “[Interviews with Moroni Jessop and Arnold Boss],” dated about 1970, is a library description of a typescript and is not treated here as a second interview published on this site.6
