Arthur was very active in a Barbershop Quartet in the Milton/Tacoma area. He was an alcoholic. He remarried after his divorce from Cecile, and no longer was in contact with the family.

Arthur was in Vaudeville. He also was an inventor. He wrote down all of his inventions for the first mechanical toys. His son, George, cherished these books and had them well preserved. Ruby had all of his paperwork from his inventions.

Arthur was one of the original "Keystone Kops". He was an actor during the silent film days. They mostly lived in Beverly Hills, California. (per Ruby Wilkinson)
