CHRISTIAN SCOTT HARTMAN
DIED
July 3, 1879
AGED 19 ~ ~ ~ ~

 

Believed to have been the son of Henry Hartman and Jemima Brown, Scott Hartman was born in or near Mount Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa, apparently in 1860 after the Federal Census was taken.  After Henry Hartman died, the widowed Jemima and several of her children accompanied Jemima's brother-in-law, James M. Shields, to Hancock County, Illinois.  They were living Fountain Green Township in 1870.  Jemima and James later married.

In July of 1879, according to the Mortality Schedule prepared as part of the 1880 Federal Census of Fountain Green Township, one Scott Haoltman, a single male, 19, white, born in Iowa, laborer, died of diptheria.  The attending physicians were L. T. and C. L. Ferris.

Inspection of the handwriting on the Mortality Schedule shows that the recorder sometimes formed lowercase r's that looked more like o's.  The surname Wright looks like Woight.

An entry for Scott "Hartman" (18, male, white, born IA, father born PA, mother born OH, farmer, died in July, cholera morbus) was recorded on the Mortality Schedule for Hancock Township, but then lined through.  He was associated with family #78: James and Jemima Shields.

See: Jemima Brown Hartman Shields for more information, including census transcriptions.
