Jacob Stewart Hartman was Grandma Hartman's oldest son. She passed away less than 2 months before he did.
Stewart was born to George and Elizabeth Hartman on January 7, 1865, just 3 months before the Civil War would come to an end. He married Ella Margaret Flickinger on June 7, 1888. They had 12 children (two of whom died in infancy), making his the largest branch of the family.
Unfortunately, the matriarch of the J. Stewart Hartman family died on June 30, 1925. Stewart remarried on September 22, 1926, and his second wife was Emma Wolfinger.
On October 12, 1935, the Rev. J. Stewart Hartman stopped at a garage for routine car maintenance on his way home from the Frederick fair. He had a fatal stroke at the auto shop and died that night. The news of his death and obituary were on the front page of The Gettysburg Times the following evening.
