He was probably a jeweler in Evansville Indiana. This is from the 1877 City Directory for that town. His son also had the same name & worked in the store. If I find anything more interesting I will post it.

This is from 1901, it also shows the son as an engraver in the store.

You will be sorry you asked who he was.

This is from the Indianapolis Star newspaper 02/08/1910. I hope you can read it.

Jason, I must add the watch is a 17 Jewel Illinois "Getty" design movement. One of my favorite movements. Is the dial also signed Chas. F Artes?
