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? | |||
|
You better believe it has his name on the dial   | ||||
|
and this is the case that it is in  | ||||
|
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 | ||||
