Ransom D. Artley came to Crosby County in 1913 with his brother-in-law H. C. Edler to look at land. The families were originally from Pennsylvania, but had moved to Haven, Kan. Both men bought land and the Edler family moved to Big Four community in November 1913. Roxanna Artley did not want to leave Kansas so their oldest son, Charles Wilson Artley, moved to their 320 acre farm five miles northwest of Crosbyton in 1915.
Charlie, as he was known, was born in Pennsdale, PA, June 22, 1893. He had moved to Kansas with his family when he was a youth. He has three brothers, Rollin, James, and Olin, and one sister, Isabel.
In 1920, Charlie returned to Kansas and married Ruth Churchman of Burton, KS and brought her back to the Crosby County farm. Ruth was a diabetic and died in 1925 and is buried in Crosbyton Cemetery.
Charlie farmed with a team until sometime in the 1930´s when he bought his first tractor, a small Allis Chalmer.
In 1930 Charlie married Ruby Caskey in Crosbyton. They continued living on the farm, where he suffered a fatal heart attack Aug. 1955. He is buried in Crosbyton Cemetery.
