William Henry Hartman

Notes:

William H. Hartman, one of the later generation of agriculturists of Livingston County, native and to the manner born, who form an important element in the maintenance of its prosperity, and who are helping greatly to extend its wealth, is a resident of Dansville, where he is actively engaged as a farmer and nurseryman. William was educated at the district school and Dansville Seminary, acquiring a substantial knowledge of various branches of study, and after leaving school turned his attention to the pursuit of agriculture. He remained on the paternal homestead until thirty years of age, and then moved to his present farm, which was formerly a portion of his father's estate, and comprises three hundred and fifty acres of rich and productive land. Here he is profitably engaged in general farming, in connection carrying on an extensive nursery. The spacious house which he occupies is of brick, and was erected in 1827. In 1893, Mr. Hartman repaired and refitted the dwelling, sparing neither pains nor expense in remodeling and furnishing it, and is now the owner of one of the finest and most comfortable country seats in the county. Mr. Hartman, who worthily represents on of the oldest and most honored families of the county, is a true, courteous gentlemen, considerate and genial in his intercourse with others and general favorite among his associates. In political views he coincides with the principles of the Democratic party, and religiously is an attendant, with his family, of the Presbyterian church.
