CHRISTY, Howard Chandler  (1873-1952) painter, illustrator.
          Born Morgan County, Ohio, 10 January 1873.
          Died New York City, 4 March 1952.
          Note:  Not to be confused with Edward L. Christle (q.v.),
          who designed the USS Constellation Medal struck by
          Bastian Bros (q.v.); this is an example of a double
          coincidence of similar names of both artists and subjects!
