Last week Mark Borckardt asked about Arthur Sargent, whose coin collection was sold by S.H. Chapman in 1913. Marc Ricard provided this information, and I forwarded it to Mark. Thank you.

Arthur Hewes Sargent
December 26, 1856, Boston, MA – March 20, 1932, Paris, France
"A longtime 19th and early 20th century collector, Arthur Hewes Sargent of Boston, Massachusetts had a penchant for overseas travel, financed in part by the sale of his coin collection through S.H. Chapman in June 1913. He was the son of George Sargent and Adelaide Bacon, born in Boston on December 26, 1856. He married Emily White (1866-1936) in Boston in June 1888, and the couple had five children. He died in France on March 20, 1932. Sargent was an investment banker and stockbroker. He resided in the Brighton neighborhood near Boston College in 1900, and in Hamilton, Massachusetts in 1910. "

337 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA
By the 1910-1911 winter season, 337 Commonwealth was the home of investment banker Arthur Hewes Sargent and his wife, Emily Hall (White) Sargent. In 1909, they had lived in Brighton, and in mid-1910, at the time of the US Census, they were living in Hamilton. They continued to live at 337 Commonwealth until about 1913.
