Andrew J. Hartung

Mr. Hartung was born in Jasper county, Illinois, on February 19, 1859, his
parents being Alexander and Lucinda Hartung. In 1865 the family went to
Germany, intending to locate there, but after a residence of about six months
in Europe they returned to the United States, locating in Plymouth, Wayne
county, Michigan, where our subject completed his education. In 1874 they
moved to Texas, and in 1877 they came thence with wagons and horses through
Indian territory, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho to Baker county,
in which they found themselves early in the year 1878.

Locating on Muddy creek, eight miles northwest of Haines, they there engaged
in the basic art of agriculture, and there our subject has ever since lived.
He is now the owner of a fine, well improved farm of two hundred and eighty
acres, upon which he is raising almost every variety of product suited to the
soil and climate and quite a number of horses and cattle. His premises
proclaim him a careful, thrifty man, industrious, progressive and skillful.
Mr. Hartung has interests in several quartz mines in Lacede district, Union
county, also in Numbers 1 and 2, Copperwonder group, in Baker county. He is an
organizer of the Killimacue Lake Reservoir and Rockcreek Irrigating Company
and serves acceptably as one of the Muddy creek high school trustees.

In his fraternal affiliations our subject is identified with Haines Lodge, No.
11, A.O.U.W., while in religious persuasion he is a Seventh Day Adventist, his
membership being in the church in baker City. His marriage was solemnized in
Paris, Illinois, on January 7, 1890, the lady being Miss Sadie Kirkpatrick,
daughter of David and Mary, and a native of Kentucky. They have two adopted
children, Ollivene and Alaric.
