  		George and Caroline (Hamsher) Hartman Plot: Hartman(John)
  Notes	Mrs. Caroline Hartman, wife of George Hartman, died at the family home at the lower end of Main Street Saturday afternoon. She had been sick for some time, and as Mr. Hartman had also been ill for a time, the care of the two aged people had devolved upon the daughter Miss Mary Hartman, who gave the closest attention to the sick ones until a nurse was called in to assist. Mrs. Hartman was the daughter of Bernard Hamsher of Sparta and she was born in the house on the Magin farm near the Lackawanna depot which was removed when Mr.Magin built his present residence, Dec. 5, 1824, so the she was a little more than 88 years at the time of her death. She married to Mr. Hartman Oct. 18, 1854, by Rev. David Lantz, and she had lived in the home where she died nearly al lher married life. She was beautiful in her younger days and as the years advanced she developed into a noble woman, beloved not alone by her family but by her acquaintances and friends. As a mother she had no superior and as a friend to the afflicted and the poor she was ever ready to give of her sympathy and her means, counting it always more blessed to give than to receive. While at her home in Sparta as a girl she was a leader in musical circles, having a voice of rare sweetness and volume, and until she left her own home to build up another for her husband and children she was a member of the choir of St.John's Lutheran church at the center. Mrs. Hartman is survived by her husband, her daughter, Miss Mary Hartman and two sons, Frank M. Hartman and Albert W. Hartman. Funeral services were held from the house on Tuesday, Rev. M. R. Heilig of St. Paul's English Lutheran church officiating, and she was buried on the family lot in Greenmount. (The Dansville Express, Thursday, March 27, 1913)
