Mrs. L.W. Hartman, who lived in the Buck Creek community for more than 50 years until moving into Wellington 9 months ago, died Thursday, September 4, in Hall County Hospital after an illness of several weeks. A life-long Texan, Mrs. Hartman was born in Comanche County September 2, 1902. She was the former Myrtle Janes, daughter of Andrew M. and Euphrasia McQuarry Janes. As a young woman, she drove a covered wagon from Comanche to Plainview, where her family was moving. She continued living in that West Texas town until her marriage to Mr. Hartman on April 12, 1924. She moved with him to the farm 9 miles west of Wellington, where they lived continuously until November 1974, when they moved to their present home. On the Sunday after her marriage, Mrs. Hartman became a member of Friendship Baptist Church, and this was the only organization to which she ever belonged. She gave her full time to it, to her family and her friends. Mrs. Hartman is survived by her husband and one son, Leon Hartman of Wellington; a brother, John Janes of Liberal, Kansas; a sister, Mrs. May Cooper of Lubbock; and three grandchildren, Earl Hartman of Canyon, Steve Hartman and Lisa Hartman of Wellington.
