David Bartlett, a son of Josiah (b. 1767), was born in Connecticut, March 9, 1808. Reared on a farm and learning the trade of tanner and currier, he was early trained for a business which he followed during the greater part of his life. In the early part of the century, many farmers were tanners, and a tannery was often a regular part of the equipment of a farm. About 1825, David Bartlett moved with his family to Hamilton County, Ohio, and soon afterwards engaged in the tanning business with his brother. Prior to 1841, he moved to Ripley County, Indiana, being led to settle there on account of the quantities of oak bark obtainable for use in the tanning industry. In Ripley County, he continued to farm and operate a large tannery, also did shoe making, and manufactured harness. He was a man of enterprise, as these varied activities indicate, and while the operation of a large stock farm was the central industry, his tannery, harness and shoe shops were valuable subordinate industries. In 1852, in the hope of restoring his wife to health, David Bartlett went to California, and while a resident in that state for two years carried on a dairy business in Sacjamento. In 1858, with his family, he removed to Atchison County, Missouri, and later to St. Joseph. A few years' residence in St. Joseph, were followed by his return to Atchison County, and his death occurred September 19, 1870. His body rests by the side of that of his wife, at New Haven, in Hamilton County, Ohio. David Bartlett married Phoebe Ellsworth, whose father was a native of Ireland. The children born of this marriage were: Virgil, deceased; Herschel; William H., who died September 19,1904; David L., who died November 26, 1904; Lucy A., who died November 15, 1910, had married Albert Bartlett of St. Joseph.
