  Hartsock, Frank D., was born on September 28, 1865, at Buffalo Run, 
Center County, Pa. The same year his parents moved to Warrior's Mark, 
Huntingdon County, Pa., where his father engaged in the manufacture of 
farm implements for thirteen years, when the family returned to Buffalo 
Run.
  He was converted March 5, 1887, at Gray's Methodist Episcopal Church, 
and united with that church the same evening. Soon after being received 
into full membership he united with Pine Street Church of Williamsport 
by letter, and by this church was given a local preacher's license on 
May 12, 1888.
  After leaving the public school he spent two years at Spring Mills 
Normal, taught school two winters in Center County, Pa., entered 
Williamsport Dickson Seminary in 1887, and graduated in 1890 with the 
degree of Bachelor of Science. In the fall of 1890 he entered Drew 
Theological Seminary, where he took a special course. His schooling is 
largely the work of his own industry and perseverance.
  He served Harford, Pa., one year as supply, after which he joined the 
Conference in 1892, receiving deacon's orders at the same session of 
Conference.
  On June 30, 1893, he married Miss Ruth Gray, of Buffalo Run, Pa. Two 
sons have been born to them.
  His pastoral record is as follows: 1892-93, Harford, Pa.; 1894-95, 
Edmeston; 1896-98, Marathon; 1899-1900, Plains; 1901-03, Mount Upton.
