In 1900 Hosea and his wife of twenty-four years, Alice, were recorded in Gardner at 55 Green Street. Their sons Arthur, 18, and Clarence, 14, were both still in school. Abbie, their eldest child, had married a Mr. Frye in 1896 and had given birth to Ethel, the Hartwells first grandchild, in 1899.

Abbie's husband died in 1906 and by 1910 she had moved back in with her folks. At a time when the Hartwells probably expected to empty their nest their household had grown to six including an eleven-year-old child. In 1910 Hosea was a driller at a go-cart factory. Arthur was a silversmith and Clarence was a carpenter. His widowed daughter was splicing cane at a chair factory.

In 1920 the census found only Hosea and Alice were at their home on Green Street. Mr. Hartwell was a machinist at a factory.

The couple moved to a new address sometime before 1930. For $25 a month they rented a place at 373 Chestnut Street. Seventy-eight-year-old Hosea was still working. He was a mechanic at a baby carriage factory.

Mr. Hartwell lost his wife in '39 and a year later he was enumerated at the home of his son, Clarence, and daughter-in-law, Florence, at 80 Oak Street.
