Best Answer

Chester Arthur was not from a wealthy family; his father was an immigrant preacher. Arthur had a successful career as a lawyer and politician and died financially well-off.

Arthur was able to get some college and became a teacher while he studied law. Once he passed the bar, his fortunes improved . He was a partner in a NY City law firm, became active in city politics and eventually got a plumb patronage job of duties collector for the city of Port of New York.
