From Alan Hartman in Mpls MN PHILLIP HARTMAN , a pioneer of 1856, was born in Stark County,Ohio, November 6, 1825, a son of James and Mary (Egler) Hartman, natives of Pennsylvania. The father was a shoemaker by trade, and when Phillip was a young child his parents moved to Columbiana county, Ohio, where he grew to manhood, and learned the shoemaker's trade in his father's shop. He worked for the farmers of the neighborhood during the summer months, and attended school in the winter. In the spring of 1853, at the age of twenty-eight years, he left his native State for Rock County, Wisconsin, where he worked on a farm during the summer, and in the following fall removed to Fayette county, Iowa. In the summer of 1856 he came to Faribault county, Minnesota, arriving in Winnebago City township on August 3, where he filed a claim under the pre-emption law on sections 10 and 15, but at the time of the Indian massacre of 1862 he sold his claim. Mr. Hartman then returned and spent the winter in Fayette county, Iowa, and in the spring of 1863, on his return to Winnebago City township, he purchased a claim to 160 acres on section 7, and during the first winter here worked a part of the time at his trade, having made the first pair of boots in this township. He is now practically retired from active labor.
