Verne W. Hartman

Notes:

Verne W. Hartman, son of Mrs. Martha L. Horton, died June 25th at East Shore Park, White Bear Lake, Minnesota, where he had been taken in hopes of finding relief. He had been living for sometime with his mother at Detroit, and after going to Bear Lake he seemed to improve, but the relief was only temporary and he passed away very suddenly. He had been ailing for six years but did not give up business until February, his trouble became a complication of diseases. His body was cremated at his request and his ashes will be brought here soon and deposited in the family lot in Greenmount. Mr. Hartman was born in this village, his father being Fred Hartman who died when his son was a baby. The young man was given a good education and he took naturally to journalism and was engaged in newspaper work for some time. For a few years past he conducted a paper published in the interest of a large business firm in Detroit and was making a success of it and he was regarded by his employers as a very talented man. He was the companion of his mother who is worn with grief, as his death leaves her alone, not a near relative to mourn with her over his untimely death.
