CHILOT Henri

Anatole Henri CHILOT was born in 1866 in Saint-Dizier (Haute Marne), France. He became a charpentier.
In 1887 he married Marthe Marguerite ALTMEYER in Montier-en-Dern (Haure-Marne). In the 1890s the family CHILOT-ALTMEYER moved to Namur (BE) where their third child was born in 1899. Henri CHILOT’s occupation was entrepreneur.
Around 1910 CHILOT settled in Esch sur Alzette as Zimmermann/Bauunternehmer. His enterprise encountered financial difficulties in 1914 but survived until the end of 1917.
In December 1917 CHILOT associated with Joseph GINDORFF and Charles DUMONT to found the company:

Société Chilot, Gindorff et Cie, Fabrique de chaussures et semelles brevetées;
Objet: Fabrication et vente d’une chaussure nouvelle (souliers, galoches) et de diverses semelles.
Les apports des associés se composent comme suit: Ceux de M. Dumont d’une somme de vingt mille francs versés en espèces, ceux de M. Chilot a) de ses inventions (galoches en tôle, semelles) estimées dix mille francs; b) de la location de ses ateliers à Esch-s.-Alz. et de la jouissance de ses machines estimées à vingt mille francs.
Ceux de M. Gindorff de diverses inventions telles que: chaussure faite de membrane animale; les différentes applications de ce dernier produit; semelle flexible, protecteur pour semelles, estimées dix mille francs.

In June 1918 the company was dissolved by common accord of the three partners and its assets were sold in a public auction “Bedeutende Versteigerung wegen Auflösung der Gesellschaft mangels Rohstoffe (matières premières)” (see Addendum).
CHILOT probably left Luxembourg around 1919.

He died in Saint Dizier (FR) in 1953.
