Personal Life
Buzz was the youngest of four sons (Alexander, Harry, Leslie "Dick", and Russell) born to German immigrant Beny and his English wife Lillian. He also had a sister Evelyn. During their youth, the Arlett brothers would often play baseball from sunrise till sundown.
In 1927, Buzz married his first wife Frances, but they separated in 1932, and divorced in 1936. Buzz and Frances never had any children. In court papers, Buzz listed "desertion" as the cause for divorce. In 1936, Buzz married Vivian Johnson who was secretary to Minneapolis Millers owner, Mike Kelly. They had two children: a son and a daughter.
After retiring from baseball, Artlett owned and operated a successful restaurant and bar in Minneapolis called Arlett's Place. Artlett's Place sponsored its own baseball team where Buzz would participate as player until the early 1940s.
