Arno Voss[a] (April 16, 1821 – March 23, 1888) was a German American military commander, lawyer, and politician.

The next year, Hermann Kriege assumed the editorship and Voss opened a law practice.

He became involved with the Chicago German Off Battalion, a citizen soldier group that was attached to the 60th Regiment, Illinois State Militia.

On February 1, 1862, he assisted in the creation of the 12th Illinois Cavalry, closing his law firm so that he could focus on the regiment.

Voss took two thousand cavalry to the enemy lines, creating an opening to let the regiment retreat.

[2] President Grover Cleveland signed a bill appropriating a grant to Voss' widow over the loss of a trunk during the war.
