HARTMAN At Rochester, Minn., on Saturday, July 25, 1903, Phillip Hartman, aged 78 years. Deceased was born in Stark county, Ohio, on Nov. 6, 1825. In the spring of 1853, at the age of 28 years, he left his native State for Rock county , Wisconsin. The following fall he removed to Fayette county, Iowa. In the summer of 1856 he came to Faribault county, Minn., arriving in Winnebago City township on August 3, where he filed a claim under the preemption law on Sections 10 and 15, but at the time of the Indian massacre of 1862 he sold his claim. He 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 of 160 acres on Section 7, and during the first winter here worked a part of the time at his trade, shoemaking, he having made the first boots in the township. About two weeks ago Mr. Hartman went to the Mayo hospital at Rochester where he underwent an operation. He came out of the operation nicely and for a time it looked like he would recover, but a turn for the worse occurred and medical skill was powerless to save his life. Deceased was an honorable, upright man. In the community in which he so long lived he was held in the highest esteem. He was a consistent Christian and a member of the United Brethren church. Mr. Hartman had been three times married - first January 11, 1849, in Ohio, to Miss Barbara Sanders, who died June 19, 1852. His second wife died April 3, 1877. On Dec. 31, 1881, he was married to Matilda (Robins) Hill, a native of Granville county, Ontario, and widow of A. R. Hill, who survives him. Four children are living, namely Mrs. Mary Douglass, of Kansas; Mrs. J. W. Scheaffer, of this city; Mrs. Edward A. Perman, and Lorin Hartman of Winnebago City township. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the Basey church, Rev. A. B. Wolfe officiating. Interment was made in the church cemetery.
