I have looked all over and this is all I was able to find:
Charles O. Golden (1899 - 1976)
A native of West Virginia, Charles Golden was a teacher at the Southern Arizona School of Art in Tucson, which he founded in 1947 with John Havard Macpherson and Beatrice Edgerly Macpherson. Golden became noted for his watercolor paintings, especially Arizona cowboys, Indians and young girls who attended the San Xavier Mission near Tucson. He also did an occasional landscape, but "only when he got an idea for one." (Dawdy, 169)
He received his training at the Corcoran Gallery School of Art and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. For eleven years, he maintained a studio in Philadelphia doing illustrations for magazines including The Saturday Evening Post. He pioneered in the development of transparent watercolor for reproduction in advertising.
In 1937, he began painting in the Tucson area, and two years later built a home and studio on the outskirts of the city on East Pima Avenue.

Hope this helps a little... wish there was more.
