OBITUARY

The funeral services for Mrs. George Hartman, who passed away Tuesday noon at 13:30 o'clock at her home at Germanville, after a four months' illness with dropsy, were held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from the Evangelical Lutheran church at Germanville. Rev. Emil G. Rieber conducted the services and the remains were laid to rest in the Lutheran cemetery nearby.

Maria Frick Hartman was born at Wuertenburg, Germany, on May 18, 1844, being at the time of her death 72 years, 3 months and 4 days old. When 21 years of age she came to Iowa and settled in Jefferson county, where she has since resided with the exception of eight years in Missouri. In 1864, while in Germany, she was united in marriage to George Hartman, who is left to mourn her loss. To this union were born four children, Bertha, who has preceded her mother in death, and George, Christ and William, all of Fairfield.

In early life she united with the Lutheran church of which she has always been a faithful member. She will be greatly missed in her home for she was always a devoted wife and Mother. She was highly respected in the community in which she lived and leaves many friends.
