"Until just recently, only Gaston (the 1920 Indy 500 winner) and Louis had headstones at the location," said a news release today from IMS. "Arthur, who competed in the 1911 Indianapolis 500, died without family or the ability to pay for proper graveside markings and was without a headstone since 1946."

 

IMS, Chevrolet and Indianapolis businessman David Ring arranged for a headstone on Arthur's grave. Ring owns Harry W. Moore Funeral Care on Indianapolis' Northeastside. The release did not indicate how much was spent on the project.
