GEORGE HARTMAN, 94, RETIRED FARMER, DIES
- Golden Sheaf Granger Had Lived in Redwood Area Nearly All His Life --
Went Sleighing at 91.-
(Special to the Times)
Redwood, Sept. 21 - George Hartman, 94, retired farmer who lived in this area nearly all his life, died last night at 7 at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Percy E Timerman of LaFargeville.
Despite his advanced age, he had been active until last July when he fell downstairs. Since then, his health had grown steadily worse.
One of the organizers of the Kirkland grange here and a Golden Sheaf granger, Mr. Hartman had lived with his daughter for about seven years. For about half a century before that, he had a farm near Browns Corners on the Alexandria Bay-Redwood road.
Funeral services will be Monday afternoon with a prayer at the Timerman home at 1:30 and regular service at 2 in the Lutheran church at Orleans Four Corners. Rev. Teofil Bartnicki, pastor, will officiate. Burial will be in Browns Corners cemetery.
Mr. Hartman was twice-married and twice-widowed. His first wife was the former Miss Elizabeth Cuffer who died March 14, 1890. He had one son by that marriage, Lawrence A. Hartman, who was superintendent of the Watertown public school buildings at the time of his sudden death April 1, 1944, at the age of 63.
On Oct. 28, 1890, he married the former Miss Sophie M. Vogt, who died Sept. 23, 1930. They had three children who survive Mrs. Louise Timerman and her twin sister, Mrs. Charles (Lotha) Snell of Alexandria Bay, and Adam Hartman of Massena.
Also surviving are a sister, Mrs. Kate Snell of Plessis, now past 85, and five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
Mr. Hartman came from a long-lived family. His father, John Adam Hartman, lived to be 95. Two of his other three sisters lived until they were past 90 and one lived into her late 80's. A brother, John Hartman, died just before he became 80.
His father came to this country by sailboat from Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, in 1853, with the Hironemus Bickelhaupt family. Hironemus Bickelhaupt, father of the late Adam Bickelhaupt of this village, had married a Margart Hartman in Germany; so the two families were related by those ties.
With the Hartmans was their grandfather who died before the ship reached the New York Harbor and was buried at sea. Another sorrowful event of their coming was in Watertown when the family, none of whom could speak English, was crossing the old Court street bridge on the way to meet a German who lived on the north side. The elder Hartman's youngest son, a child in arms, had been ill and he died that night as his mother was carrying him across the bridge.
The Hartmans settled at Redwood. But later, John Adam Hartman and his wife, Mrs. Anna Eva Hartman, thought their chances for higher pay would be better in Canada. Their son, George, was born there, in Waterloo, Ont., on Jan.11, 1857.
When George was about a year old, the Hartmans moved back to this vicinity and stayed from then on. His father worked for one of the German settlers here for a while. Later, the family operated farms on the Redwood-Alexandria Bay road, in the Calaboga section, and at English settlement near Theresa. In the last place, they lived in a small log house near today's Morgan cut.
Soon after he was first married, Mr. Hartman rented the Adam Snell farm near LaFargeville and stayed there for 22 years. Then he bought the farm at Browns Corners and lived there until after his second wife's death.
At Browns Corners in those early days, he looked after their cemetery there on his own time.
He yearly became active in grange affairs. He first joined the LaFargeville grange in the 1890's and then transferred his membership to the Plessis group. He served as master at Plessies [sic]. He then became a charter member of the Kirkland grange here and long served as treasurer.
One of those most interested in the G.L.F., Mr. Hartman helped get it organized here and he was the first agent the group had of Jefferson county. He brought the first carload of feed and seeds into Redwood for the G.L.F.
A faithful member of St. Paul's Lutheran church here since he was 16, he head served as treasurer of the mission board and was 50 years one of the members of the church council. He belonged [to] the state grange, having taken the sixth degree at a state session in Watertown in 1910. He was also a member of the Jefferson Pomona grange.
He was a charter and continuous member of the Jefferson county farm bureau and several times held office in that group.
Even when he was in his late 80's, Mr. Hartman used to drive his own car. And on his 91st birthday, to demonstrate his agility he got on a sled guided by his son and took a trip down a snow-covered hill at Orleans Four Corners.
