Douglas Lee Hartman, a lifelong resident of Harper, Kansas, passed away Thursday, May 14 , 2015, at the Harper Hospital after a brief illness. Doug was born November 19, 1930, to Anna Kathryn (Ruhsert) Hartman and Leslie William Hartman. He grew up in the rural community and attended school in Harper, graduating with the Class of 1949.
Doug and Peggy A. Haskin were married August 11, 1949, in Harper, Kansas. They had two sons, Rodney Lee Hartman and Paul Douglas Hartman. Doug and Peggy farmed North of Harper and raised livestock. He loved farming and raised wheat throughout his life on the farm. He also had a career at Cessna Aircraft serving as a foreman in the paint department.

He loved keeping up with the events of his family and felt great pride in each of their successful ventures. He found comfort in his family and pleasure in each of their visits. Doug and Peg enjoyed hosting endless family meals and get-togethers. To this day everyone plans to ‘go to the farm’ for a holiday meal.
