George W. Hartman, farmer and stock raiser, Plain Township, was born in Center Township, May 26, 1841. He grew up on his father's farm, receiving his education in the common schools of his native place. In 1863 he enlisted in Company H, 67th Regiment, OVI, for the union cause, and served nearly 2 years, doing duty at the siege of Richmond, Virginia, where his Regiment was under fire for nearly a whole summer. The 67th was kept in Virginia, getting the state under martial rule, until December 19, 1865, at which time Mister Hartman was discharged. He was fortunate enough to escape without receiving a wound. After the war he sheathed his sword, came home and returned to pursuits of peace. Shortly after he returned he bought his present excellent farm in Plain Township. He was married in October, 1871, to miss Barbara Apel, who was born in Sandusky, Erie County, Ohio, March 27, 1849. They have had three children: John, born May 21, 1873, died June 6, 1895; Walter, born November 19, 1878; and Irene, born March 18, 1881.
Mister Hartman has continued to live upon his present farm since the war, and has been engaged in general stock and grain raising, his farm giving evidence of careful cultivation. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and in politics is a Republican.
