CLARE COUNTY PIONEER PASSES FRIDAY MORNING
Mrs. Mary Hartman Laid at Rest After Sixty-Six Years Residence here

Clare County lost another highly respected pioneer in the passing of Mary 
Katherine Hartman, Friday morning at the Clare Hospital, following several 
months of failing health.

Mary Katherine Sunday, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Sunday, was born 
in Steuben County, Indiana, June 26th, 1864, and passed away February 4, 1949, 
at the age of eighty four years, seven months, and eleven days.

She was united in marriage to Thomas Jefferson Hartman, July 3rd, 1880.  To 
this union were born nine children, two dying in infancy.  The family moved to 
Clare county from Indiana in the spring of 1882, where they lived until the 
time of Mr. Hartman’s death in 1939, since which time Mrs. Hartman has made 
her home with her daughter, Mrs. Carrie Green of Clare.

She leaves to mourn her passing, seven children, Pearl Hartman, of Grand 
Rapids, Will Hartman, of Bay City, Claude Hartman, of Upper Peninsula, John 
Hartman, of Clare, Mrs. Maude Gordon, of Clare, Glen Hartman, of Pontiac, and 
Mrs. Carrie Green, of Clare; twenty five grand children, five step-
grandchildren, one great great grandchild; one brother, Henry Sunday, of 
Pleasant Lake, Indiana; a number of nieces and nephews, and a host of friends.

They came to Clare county when she was eighteen years old, and she has resided 
here since.  She was gentle, kind hearted and true, moreover generous to all 
who knew her.  She enjoyed good health until about six months ago, and was 
known o many as “Grandma Hartman”.  She was a faithful believer in her Saviour 
and was ready to go, and her smiling face and sunny disposition will be 
greatly missed by all.

Relatives attending the services from a distance were from Pleasant Lake and 
Angola, Indiana; Jackson, Lansing, Mt. Pleasant, Sanford, Midland, Pontiac, 
Evart, Detroit, Bay City, Clarkston, Fowlerville, St. Louis, Mt. Clemens, 
Grand Rapids, and Houghton, U.P.

Funeral services were held from the Methodist church at 2:00 o’clock Sunday 
afternoon with Rev. Chas. Hahn and Rev. Honderich officiating, and burial in 
Cherry Grove cemetery.
