General Notes: Husband - James Wylie Hartman

---

He was reared on a farm and received the educational privileges afforded by the common schools of his native township. At eighteen years of age he went to Johnstown, Cambria county, Pennsylvania, to learn the trade of carpenter which, however, he completed at New Florence, Westmoreland County. In 1877 he removed to Derry station, Derry township, and engaged in the carpentering and house contracting business for six years. During the last year of this time he operated an undertaking establishment. Reflecting upon the advantages to be derived from establishing his business in a larger town, he made choice of Latrobe as a favorable site and removed in the autumn of 1883 to that place, where he purchased of Joseph Nichols the oldest undertaking establishment of Latrobe. His calculations were more than justified and the trade that he built up exceeded his expectations. His custom had so increased by 1889 that he was warranted in providing new and more ample quarters for its accommodation. He tore down his shop and erected on its site at No. 322 Main street a larger establishment. This building was a three-story brick with a basement and was 100x28 feet in dimensions. It was equipped with plate-glass windows and was filled with one of the largest and finest stocks of furniture and funeral caskets to be found in the county. In addition to his furniture and undertaking business Mr. Hartman successfully conducted all kinds of embalming.

He early assisted his father on the farm, but later learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed for a time. For more than twenty-five years he was a resident of Latrobe, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in the furniture and undertaking business. Mr. Hartman was a Republican and filled various minor offices in Latrobe, among them that of member of the council. He affiliated with Latrobe Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, Royal Arch Chapter, Commandery of Knights Templar, and Syria Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, Pittsburgh.
