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. | |||

Isn't it nice how they spoke of people in the newspapers in those days,with respect and matter of fact to the point not like the media today | ||||
