HENRY W. HARTMAN

     resides about five miles northeast from Condon, where he owns a homestead
and is handling besides that a half section of wheat land. He is an enterprising
and rustling Oregon farmer and has done a good work in improvement and
upbuilding in this county. His birth occurred in Kerr county, Texas, on October
29, 1868. His father, A. Hartman, is mentioned elsewhere in this work. In 1873
our subject went to California with his parents, and in Wheatland of the Golden
State, he received his education. In 1883 he accompanied his parents to the
vicinity of Ritzville, Washington, but he did not remain there long. Later they
all went to Weston, Oregon, and a year after that, he came to this county. He
and his father engaged in the stock business and this relation continued until
1899 when Mr. Hartman started alone, taking the homestead where he now resides.
He has given his attention to farming largely since that time. His labors have
been properly rewarded, for he has good improvements and is doing well.
     The marriage of Mr. Hartman occurred in California in April, 1892. Miss
Mary J. Gillson then became his bride. She was born in Pennsylvania and came to
California when a young girl, accompanying her parents. Her father is James G.
Gillson, a native of the Keystone State, and married Miss Hannah Watson. Three
children have come to bless the household of Mr. and Mrs. Hartman. Arthur H.,
Elsie and Amon G. Mr. Hartman is a member of the I. O. O. F. and is a man of
good standing in the community.
