General Notes: Husband - Hon. Joseph Hartman
He worked at the blacksmith's trade with his father until seventeen years of age, and then found employment in the ore mines and at contracting until January, 1855. In 1849 he purchased a farm in Donegal township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, with money judiciously saved from his earnings, upon which his parents settled the same year. In 1856 he located on this farm and resided there until his removal to Butler. In 1862 he enlisted in Company E, One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served nine months. In 1864 he commenced operating in the oil fields of Venango County, subsequently transferred his operations to Butler County, and was thereafter successfully identified with oil producing for over thirty-five years. He operated extensively in the Millerstown field, also in Allegany County, New York, while his production on the Black farm, in Butler County, was sold by him at a high figure. He also operated in Armstrong County, and in the St. Joe, Jefferson Centre, Callery Junction and Hundred Foot fields, as well as in the McDonald field, and was prominently connected with the development of the Mannington field, of West Virginia. He was a stockholder in the United States Pipe Line Company, and the Producers Pipe Line Company. At the time the movement was inaugurated to curtail production, Mr. Hartman earnestly supported Mr. Phillips in his plan to set aside 2,000,000 barrels of oil for the protection of the labor engaged in the petroleum industry. In connection with other capitalists he purchased the Kelly Silver Mines, of New Mexico, and was a stockholder in the Trade Dollar Mining Company, of Idaho. Soon after the organization of the Butler County National Bank, he was elected president, to succeed Mr. Taylor, and filled that position in a very satisfactory manner. He was an ardent Republican, and in 1884 was elected to the legislature, serving in 1885-86. He was a member of A. G. Reed Post, G. A. R., of Butler, and a warm friend of the old soldier.
