        JOE C. HARTLINE is the active executive of the office and business
of The City Loan & Savings company in the City of Mansfield, Richland
County. This important corporation, which exercises most benignant
functions in connection with civic and financial affairs, maintains offices
and has substantial business in about twenty different Ohio cities, with
home office in Lima, Ohio. The Mansfield branch has proved of distinct
value to the community. The corporation bases its operations upon ample
capital and effective executive control, and its reputation constitutes its
best business asset. The Mansfield headquarters, in charge of Mr. Hartline,
are in the Southern Hotel Building, on South Main street, and the concern
constitutes a valuable addition to the financial institutions of this city.
        Mr. Hartline was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, where his
great-grandfather, Peter Hartline, settled in the early pioneer days, and
his son Joseph, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, carried forward
effectively the farm enterprise which had there been instituted by his
father. Frank Hartline, father of Joe C., has long been a successful
breeder and exhibitor of fine red polled cattle, is a charter member of the
International Live Stock Show at Chicago, and served (1923) as mayor of
Strasburg, Tuscarawas County.
        Joe C. Hartline was reared and educated in his native county, and
at the age of twenty-one years found employment in connection with
coal-mining operations. For a time thereafter he was engaged in mercantile
business at Strasburg, and later he became a successful automobile dealer
at Lima, where he was specially prominent in advocating and supporting the
good roads movement. He is an active worker in all the ranks of the
republican party, is a valued member of the Optimist Club of Mansfield, a
director of the Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the United Commercial
Travelers. In the Masonic fraternity he has received the thirty-second
degree of the Scottish Rite. He has had charge of the business of the City
Loan & Savings Company at Mansfield from the time this branch was
established, and he is one of the substantial and progressive business men
of this city.
        Mr. Hartline married, first, Miss Aurelia Blaser, of Winesburg,
Ohio, who died leaving two children, Hazel Marguerite and Aurelia Loretta.
He married for his second wife, Miss Flora Emma Styer, of Marietta, Ohio,
she being a representative of one of the honored pioneer families of that
section of the state. To this union two children were born, Bernice Naomi
and Evelyn Gertrude.
