Thank you for your response re "my" W Artley. Your family story explains why William Artley was in Roswell! Co-incidentially, my g-g-father, James Monroe Nelson, was an architect in Roswell up to 1913 and he too moved westward from Texas to find a drier climate to suit his lung condition. Could you FWD scans of the photographs you have of the houses built by W Artley in Roswell?

I have no direct relationship to Will Artley, but my great grandfather, James Screven Cooper, apparently had some dealings with him you might be interested in. This was all passed down thru family lore, so there might be some errors.

James Screven Cooper was born in Savannah, Georgia on August 15, 1858. He worked for the Georgia Pacific Railroad and National Steamboat Co as a bookkeeper/accountant, figuring cash finances of both and several other businesses.

Suffering from tuberculosis. The doctors in Savannah, GA recommended he move to a dryer climate, so the family moved to New Mexico. They had wanted to move to Carlsbad, but there wasn't a First Christian Church there, so they moved to Roswell. They rented a house while building a house on 414 North Lee St. We have several pictures of the rent house. The house at 414 N. Lea was builti in 1908 by Mr. Will Artley of Savannah, Georgia. It cost about $10,000 (not quite), the upstairs was not finished. The house at 412 N. Lea was built by Will Artley about 1912. The houses at 410 and 412 W. 3rd was built by Will Artley about 1910. James Screven went into the construction business with a friend from Savannah, one Mr. Will Artley. Mr. Artley took care of the construction end of the business, and Mr. Cooper took care of the financial and management concerns. Mr. Cooper eventually ended up owning a number of houses/properties in Roswell and also a farm near Lake Arthur.

James Screven Cooper died on May 16, 1914. He is buried in Southpark Cemetary, Roswell NM

Hi David, you're correct with Abraham A. Artley died 12 June 1922, Chatham, Georgia.

His parents were Benjamin & Ann Williamson Artley.

Benjamin's parents were Abraham Erdle & Elizabeth Artley.

Abraham's parents were John Heinrich Erdle II & Catharine Frey our common ancestors.

Your family line went to Georgia. Mine went to Indiana and then my father's family moved to Washington state.

Thank you Judy for your rapid response to my Artley inquiry.
William H Artley b1883 married my great aunt Eva Nelson b1887. The 1900 US Census lists William H Artley living with in Savannah, Georgia with his father, Abram A Artley b1852 Pennsylvania, and mother Albaretta R Artley b1854 Pennsylvania and siblings John B b1881, Mary Kaye b1885, Lois b1887, Alla(e?)n T b1890 and Ruth M b1895.This family was living at Duffy Street West at the time of the census.

Abraham A Artley died 12 June, 1922 in Chatham Georgia.

I found an Abraham Artley listed in the 1860 US Census with siblings May M, Melisse and George C living in Pennsylvania, Columbia, Fishing Creek. No parents were listed.

Do you know how this Abraham Artley is connected to "your" Artley Family members?

Re: W H Artley of Savannah, Geogria -1919

judyartley53 — 2008-11-10 21:40:13Z

Hi David, it appears that there are two "strains" of Artleys; German and English. We (both of our family lines) are the German "strain" for lack of a better word.

Our common ancestor was John Heinrich Erdle, b. abt. 1737 and d=1795, PA. Erdle was the family name that was Americanized to Artley in later generations. This branch came from Germany, settled in Pennsylvania and then slowly spread throughout the U.S.

The English Artleys originated in England and seemed to mainly have settled in Michigan. I've heard a theory that if someone was to do the research in England, they'd probably find they were originally Erdles from Germany but I don't know. I've got too many holes in the lineage in America to start searching in Europe at this time.

My father W. Russell Artley who was born in Ohio, lived there and Indiana and moved to Washington state during the 30's, only knew that his family was Pennsylvania Dutch. After he died in 1992 I did the research.

I've compiled quite the database so if you have any other Artley questions, I'd be glad to answer them. Send me an email.

I am seeking information about family of W H Artley and his wive Eva (nee Nelson) living in Savannah, Georgia in 1919. They had at least two children - Laura and son (name unknown).

Hello Warren,
I think the name Beifferin was really an error of my not reading the handwriting of the fractur (sp?) correctly. The B was really a W and it probably is Weisse. The writing is messy.
Anyway, I have Daniel Weise Artleys grandfather as John Heinrich Erdle ll, who died in 1795 in Windor Township, Pa.
I will send you my Artley PAF file seperatley.
I would love any info you have re: Germany. This is actually my husbands family and I'm not well versed in it.
Thank You

Re: Alice Artley

Alica Artley isn't a twin but she did have a sister. Alica was a Colo before she married Cletis. Alica was born in the year 1918. Her husband's name was Cletis Artley. He had 3 brothers. Alica and Cletis had 14 children and adopted 7. Your grandfather is the oldest living now and he has 5 girls and 2 boys.

Re: Alice Artley

I have recently confirmed that Alice was not Artley but was a Vought. So we are talking about different people. Odd how they both had a brother Charles.

Re: Alice Artley

2002-08-23 20:02:56Z

My great grandmothers name is Alice Artley and my grandfather's name is Charles Artley. I do believe that my great grandmother was a twin, but not completely sure. She passed away a few years before I was born. I am not sure when/where she was born, but I do know that my dad was born in Scranton, PA.. My dad passed away earlier this year, but I think my mom might have a few pictures of her still. I live in Phoenix, AZ now and my family all lives in Mt. Vernon, KY. My grandfather, Charles 'Dick' Artley is still alive and well back in KY and Alice was his mother.

My family links with the Artley's through Benjamin Artley's 2nd marriage to Catherine Hughes. Their daughter Anna Mary Artley was my Great Great Grandmother who married James Ginter. I have been trying to find Benjamin's father and suspected it was Abraham. I would love to have a copy of whatever you have on the Artley's.

tedd81stpa — 2005-01-23 01:07:46Z

Thank you Warren very much. No, I do not go as far back as the 1600's. When I find some info on an 81st man, I try to get his wive's name, and if possible maiden name & birth date, and marriage date. I list his children and at least their birth dates. If you have all his children's names, that would be great. If you happen to know his wive's birth dates, again, it will add to his file.Also, do you know the number of the other regiment he served in? I believe I saw something somewhere that he was also in a two hundred something unit. I will have to check.
Thank you again so much for your help.
One more thing. Would you happen to have any type of photo of him? Even in later life? Anytime we can put a face on a name, it is special.
Yours,

Re: John Artley - 81st Pa.

Thank you again, Warren. Yes, I have researched the 81st. This is the object about trying to get information on him. I belong to a re-enacting unit, Co. K, 81st Pa. The company was recruited near where I live. I got interested in the men who made up then company, and eventually the men of the regiment. I have discovered some great and interesting stories about these men. Someday, I hope to put all this information together, and write a unit history, with help from other members who have better writing skills than I.
