PREFACE

Family history like the arbor vitae begins with a seed which germinates, grows, spreads and ~ars fruit~ The vast Zartman family in this western hemisphere began with a husband, wife and a son aged five years. That genesis in America was in the year 1728 in Warwick Township, Lancaster County, Pennsyl­ vania. From there it grew and spread UJ'.\til now descendants are in at leastj'orty states, Canada, Alaska, Mexico, Panama, Hawaii, Philippine Islands, and Africa. The printed history of our numerous family also had a genesis. There was a time as late as 1907 when like most families we had no printed history. There were some traditions. As late as 1908 no one knew who our progenitor was nor where he had come from. How did we ever get a written and printed history? The answer is interesting. Isaac Zartman, the father of the author of this book, somehow learned of Franz Zartman, of Frankfurt, Germany, and exchanged German letters with him. He also corresponded with Samuel Zartman of Jamestown, Ohio, with Solomon B. Zartman of York County, Pennsylvania, with John Jacob Zartman of Dornsife, Pennsylvania, and with other Zart­ mans. His search was for information about his kin. It is a deep regret that be did not live to see and read a printed Zartman history. In the autumn of 1894 Rev. Dr. John J. Kline of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, came to Philadelphia and introduced hims~lf to the writer, who up to that time had not known this divine. Dr. Kline had Zartman blood through his mother, Catharine Zart­ man, who married Jacob E. Kline. He thought there should be a Zartman family history, and considered me the suitable person to compile such a work. I suggested that he write such a history, but be said that the writer of such a book should bear the name of Zartman. The suggestion was a seed, that did not however germinate at once. In November of 1907 my two oldest sisters, Leah Mechling and Sarah Swinehart, came from Ohio to visit us in Philadelphia. They suggested that the Zartman relatives be invited t-0 a general Reunion in Ohio the following summer, and they also asked me, their "little brother," to prepare and read f.\t that reunion a paper VIll TBE ZARTMAN FAllILY

on the Zartman family in this country. These two suggestions were carried out and in August of 1908 the first Zartman Reunion was held. The fruits of that reunion were: the organization of the Zartman Association of America, and the election of a. family historian who was requesterl to publish a. history in book form. This History was printed in 1909, and in 1935 the Association requested the historian to revise and enlarge it. Needless to say our family had increased and multiplied as the years went on. And it continues to change daily. When I drew the dead line on accepting material for this book, I did so reluctantly for week by week brought additional material which it grieved me not to include. Some omissions and mistakes there are bound to be in a work of this nature. For them we beg your indulgence. Some interesting but lengthy data. has boo to be cut to a. bare state­ ment. This volume has been compiled when adverse circum­ stances were many and great and at times almost insurmountable. A Grecian sculptor worked many years 011 the image of a man. A friend who had waited for the finished product said, "It seems to me that you are taking a. long time to finish that sculpture." The artist replied, "That is true, but I am making it to last for all time." This history has been years in the making, but it is to serve for all time. Many and most sin,cere thanks to every one who in any wise has contributed to the production of this book.

Standing one day beside a beloved sister-in-law, with a heart filled with love and appreciation for all she had meant to me, and to our entire family, I ventured to tell her of this feeling, and to express my very, deep gratitude for the unselfish devotion she had given us. With eyes wide with astonishment she looked into my face and said, "Why, my dear, you don't think I am going to die, do you?" How sad that we wait until death closes the ears and seals the eyes to speak our love and appreciation! Words could not begin to tell the depth of my feeling of love for my beloved "Uncle Rufus." From my babyhood on he has been a constant visitor in our home, and since my father went home there has been no difference. Many of my very earliest memories are connected with him, for did he not woo and win the lovely young woman who played the organ in my father's first Sunday School? Visits to Perry County were never fully happy ones unless he, too, was there; his advice and comforting companionship have been to our family a source of delight and joy. Only to one who is interested in the study of genealogy, whether in one's own or the intricate problems connected with finding the complete data for the family tree of which a friend is a member­ only such a person can appreciate what this valuable family history means. More and more are people searching for their several lines of ancestry, and it has become an art to be able to untangle the mysteries of the past. Many almost impossible­ to-solve problems have been presented in these years of searching for Zartman families. Of two I should like to speak. Something more than twenty-five years after the first edition of the Zartman Family History was printed, Uncle Rufus received a letter from a judge's wife in Ohio telling him that her great­ grandmother's name was Zartman, and that she had been married in Perry County, and asking just where she belonged on our "family tree." After a short time this letter was sent to me with the statement that though the dates and proof sounded absolutely correct, Uncle Rufus could not find any group of the family to which this new Zartman girl could belong, hence he was asking XIV THE ZARTMAN FAMILY me to go to Perry County and see if it could possibly be true that such a marriage took place in Perry County. But worse was to follow, for when I went to Perry County and copied every Zartman marriage in the records, I found fifteen Zartman men and women recorded as marrying in that county of whom our History contained not the slightest account. Hurriedly I wrote a letter to our historian-and then the trouble began. During the next five years together Uncle Rufus and I visited the immense genealogical horaries in Washington, the census department, where we examined Perry County records from its first census on {and found no new or unknown Zartman fam­ ilies), the Genealogical Library of the Western Reserve in Cleve­ land, the Ohio Genealogical Library in Columbus. Trips were made to surrounding county scats where all old marriage records were carefully searched, Perry County cemeteries were visited and every tombstone scanned with eagerness-finally after a second visit to the census department in Washington, and hours spent on the old records there, spelling out every name that looked like ours-I bad a new idea, drove to Perry County again and visited descendants of the Tatman family that had lived for many years in the other part of that county, then back to Fairfield County, to which Perry County once belonged-and there my suspicions were verified. In copying the old marriage records for use in Perry County errors had been made in all fifteen of these records, and in each case where the name Zartman occurred, it should have been Tatman. Thousands of miles had been travelled, hundreds of hours and many dollars spent in the attempt to solve this mystery! The second instance follows. Revolutionary service had been found for a number of Zartmans, but seemingly Pennsylvania Archives bad always placed such service in Pennsylvania Counties of Lancaster or Northumberland, hence the soldiers were not hard to identify. But suddenly I found a Jacob Zartman named as serving at a very early date as a Pennsylvania Ranger from Washington County. Again libraries were visited, hundreds of letters written and records consulted. Two or more years passed during which period a constant search was continued, but it remained for Miss Wingate, chief consulting genealogist of the D.A.R., to end the search by showing that Washington County had once covered all the central and western part of Pennsylvania, BOUQUET OF APPRECIATION xv and thus this Pennsylvania Ranger was none other than my own ancestor, Jacob, son of Alexander I. Such problems present an intriguing interest, but are none­ the-less disturbing. Because I, too, have the "bug" as Uncle Rufus once himself declared it to be, my own appreciation is very great, and the value I place upon all he has done for the entire family is ;; ;, 1ilitively inexpressible. I have read with delight the feelings of others of the family who likewise rejoice in this great Family History which has been prepared for us with infinite patience and care by our family Historian, Rufus Calvin Zartman. From some of _the letters received I am happy to quote por­ tions, which follow: Mrs. Anna Z. Richards of Lansford, Pa., writes: I must tell you how much I appreciate all the thought and energy you have given to compile another History. We, who have been helping so little, do not realize the big undertaking it has been; the least we can do is to make it possible by our subscriptions, which is a very easy way to acquire such valuable information. We must n9t think of our generation-it is the one who comes after us who will really appreciate your work. If Mother and Dad were here, how happy and proud they would be of you." Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Braybrooks (Ethel Schroeder) join in these words: "Rufus Calvin Zartman deserves great praise and our gratitude for the very fine work he bas done in writing our family history. His thought and effort in compiling this book can never be repaid by us, but we desire to express our sincere appreciation." Morris R. Zartman, of York New Salem, Pa., adds these thoughts: "As a member of the Zartman family in York County, Pa., it has been a privilege indeed to have become personally acquainted with the editor of our family History, Rev. Dr. Rufus Calvin Zartman, whose untiring efforts have made this publication possible. I am certain in expressing our thanks in this note of tribute for the wonderful work that he has accom­ plished, I voice the sentiment of all of our large family. He has shown us all that fine characteristic of the Zartman family, namely, loyalty and devotion in the preparation of this great work. It will be a lasting monument to him and as the years go by we shall not soon forget, but long remember that. he has rendered a real service to each one of our great family for which we sincerely thank him." XVI THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

From our poetess in California., Mrs. Harley J. Ingram (Ivy Brand) we have these lines: "Some may call you b"Other; others speak of uncle; while distant ones are proud to claim you cousin; but ALL unite in treasured fondness for you-esteemed in char­ acter and personage." On a sheet bearing the heading, "The New York Institute for the Education of the Blind" we find one of the finest para­ graphs: "Every member of our clan, from the oldest to the most recently born cousin, owes Rufus Calvin Zartman an ever­ lasting debt of gratitude. As historian and biographer he has served our large family with unflagging zeal and great distinction. His histories have been literally 'labors of love.' Cousin Rufus, our Herodotus and Plutarch, we salute you. May we ever be worthy of the fine tradition you have established for us." The concluding sentence proves the writer's sincerity, "If I can be of any further service, command me"-signed, Kenneth D. Longsdorf. From Agnes Zartman, Allentown, Pa.: "I, Agnes Zartman, wish to express my sincere appreciation to our cousin, Dr. Rufus C. Zartman, for the great amount of labor and interest involved in assembling the data concerning the genealogy of the Zartman family. This history will be valued not only by the Zartmans in the present time but also by future generations." Samuel R. Zartman of Lebanon, Pa., says: "Our Leader, Cousin Rufus Calvin Zartman, the author of this work, needs no introduction to most members of our Family that b\)ars his name. We, who have the privilege of knowing him, commend him and his work to our Family everywhere. May these trans­ cripts from his ripe experience be of more value to us all than much fine gold, and may it be to the Author a "life's ambition realized." Shamokin, Pa., from Cousin Wesley S. Zartman: "Once upon a time all Zartmans, excepting the immediate members of a family, were practically strangers, but because there is a 'Cousin Rufus' in the relationship we know each other as 'cousins.' "It always seemed to me that next to God and country, Cousin Rufus found his greatest joy in talking about and praising his cousins. There will never be another so lovable and devoted; everyone should deem it a privilege to assist, however little or in whatever manner, in the compilation of a history which BOUQUET OF APPRECIATION XVII will forever serve as a memorial to a man beloved. Because of his work over limitless territory we seldom have the good for­ tune of being in his presence, something we regret very much because when one talks with Cousin Rufus, one is immediately conscious of a great understanding and love. And even though he is seldom in our midst we hope that his days on earth will be many because as in the past, those who come in contact with him will be immeasurably benefited." How true are'these next words, from Camden, N. J.: "I have often told Rev. Dr. Rufus Calvin Zartman of the appreication of my wife, my daughter and myself of his years of earnest, un­ remitting, valuable and loving work on the History of the Zart­ man Family. My mother, Mary Zartman, was born in Mahanoy, Northumberland County, and many happy hours of my boyhood were spent there. It is only through his History that my daughter knows of her Zartman ancestry and kin. "We have known Dr. Zartman not only as a kinsman for a number of years, but also as a neighbor. We have been in his Philadelphia church, and I have been in close touch with his work as a historian of the family since his start on the first book. We are waiting with deep interest the new history. "In my earlier home at Sunbury, in Northumberland Co., Pa., I knew many Zartmans, but it has been only through the noble work of Dr. Zartman that I learned about them and their ancestors and of the great part the Zartmans had in the foundinp: and development of the United States. With love and deepest esteem for him and his remarkable work, I am, as ever, an s.d­ miring and devoted kinsman.-Calvin E. Shipe." Frequently we hear him speak with deep affection of "Cousin Jennie"-Mrs. Alex Cooper of Trevorton, Pa.-and in the loving tribute she brings, surely we can all agree: "I am very happy and sincerely grateful that I can write a few words of appreciation of our dear cousin, Rufus C. Zartman, for the work he has done in making the Zartman Family History possible. No one knows better than he, the tremendous task this has involved,-yet what a heritage he is le!lving for coming generations! "Words are so inadequate when one tries to convey even a small degree of our appreciation, but what we can all say is­ we love you, Cousin Rufus; thank you and God bless you." From Beverly Hills, Calif., comes a message penned by a XVIII THE ZARTMAN F.\MILY

business woman, cousin Florine Ellen Zartman, wife of Arthur Burritt: "Dear Doctor Zartman, I deeply appreciate your interest and the work you have done in gathering the material for this book for I know it is a tremendous undertaking and one that very few would have the ability to do. I shall prize this book very dearly." "It is certainly a monumental work that Doctor Zartman has done, and I know the House of Zartman will never find another who will do as much in the discovery and preservation of its history as he has done. Few families can boast of as com­ plete a record of its achievements as can the Zartmans."­ Edith M. Dornbirer. "l hope I have answered all the qur.stions you wanted to know to your satisfaction and again I must congratulate you and admire you for the energy you are putting forth to com­ plete this task. The Zartmans all owe you an eternal debt of gratitude. If I can be of any further servicP, kindly let me know." -Eugene Zartman, 003 N. Shamokin Street, Shamokin, Pa. "In compiling this new history Dr. Zartman has not only furnished vast information, but has also done boundless good in reuniting families who had become lost to one another through the World War, and.by changes of residence. He found that some had died and reported that information to sorrowing rela­ tives. A very pathetic instance is that of n father and son who were lost to each other in a large city for many years, and he restored them to each other causing profound joy. Dr. Zartman has my deepest appreciation for the splendid work he has done." -Mrs. Catherine Baker, Fort Worth, Texas. "The entire membership of the Zartman family owes Dr. Zartman an undying debt of gratitude for all he has done to give this history to them and the generations to come."-Edna Sheets, Rochester, Ind. So, in the center of our bouquet we place the rose, signifying our love for you. Then, like the bouquets your own dear mother used to make, we will place tightly against and around our rose some of the beautiful acacia which our California cousins will furnish for this· shows our continuing friendship; bellflower-­ gratitude; pansies, royal blue and yellow, for thoughts of you; a bit of fragrant heliotrope, devotion, mingled with some per­ fect red clover blossoms-industry-some elder blossoms for the BOUQUET OF APPRECIATION XIX zeal you have shown; pinks for the ta.lent and lovely magnolia buds indfoating that it has taken much perseverance-to accom­ plish this huge task. Round our bouquet we will circle a wreath of blue forget-me-nots and then complete it with the shining laurel, because your memory and what you have done for us as a Family will be treasured with joy.

ZARTMANN COAT OF ARMS

In it are four figures: I. That of a I_outh in blue uniform. 2. That of a dolphin. 3. That of a r,psed sword. 4. That of a orown. 5. It has the colors of red, blue and gold. ZARTM.AJ."l'N 88 a name is significant. The German word ZART me&DB primarily tender: not weak, but in the sense of kind, considerate, compassion­ ate, forgiving: and ZART secondarily means gentle. The original ZART­ MANN may have been tender in the sense of kindly, merciful, and let us hope be was also truly a gentleman in character and demeanor. The name is Ger­ man or perhaps Austrian in origin, and so ends with a double n, or with a line over then as ZARTMAN. When our ancestor in 1728 in Philadelphia took the oath of allegiance to King George the Second be signed bis name in German as Alexander Zart­ mann. When be purchased 179 acres of land in Lancaster County, Pa., Thomas Penn and Richard Penn gave him a deed in which they wrote bis name eight times in English 88 Zartman. In the coat of arms is a dolphin, a mammal of the sea that is active, strong and swift. The ancients bebevea the dolphin had superior intelligence and was a benefactor of man. The dolphin is seen on very ancient coins and medals, and it is conspicuous on the coat of arms of the Princes of France. The dolphin in our coat of arms is Peron's and of satiny, silverr. white; it is the symbol of the German medical profession; in connection with the name Zartman, meaning tender man or gentleman, probably the family name was derived from the deed, both of kindliness or mercy, or from the manly bearing of the individual. The human figure, be it male or female, with the uplifted sword and armor indicates that the Zartmanns were warriors as well as "first aid" men. The crown at the base of the youth denotes that they were a branch of noble, royal blood, probably knighted for their deeds of mercy. The raised sword does not signify agip:ession, but defense-the readiness and willingness like Joan of Arc to use 1t, if necessary. The profusion of gold in the coat of arms also indicates the idea of kni~bt­ hood, as does the red color. The blue which is so prominent betokens mild­ ness of manner, and kindliness of spirit. In a recent letter Josef Zartmann, of Neckarsulm, Germany, writes of the traits of the Zartmanns 88 he knows them. I quote: "The Zartmanns were always bale and a strong people. Through their erudence and popu­ larity they everywhere soon endeared themselves. They gwckly accommooated themselves to circumstances, and throu~h their mental versatility they were able to help themselves in all life situations. Those who took up trades and arts ·achieved great skill. The Zartmanns were always es~cially inclined toward labors of an artistic bent. Many works testify to the highest artistic skill. In public life the Zartmanns always took an honored part. As repre­ sentatives of the people they always made great sacrifices and were ever ready to devote themselves to the welfare of their fellowmen," He writes further-"! have noted that throughout hundreds of years the character, nature, and even outward expression of the Zartmanns have clearly main­ tained themselves."

Alexander Zartman and Wife, Ann Catharina, Sons Jacob and Alexander

"People will not look forward to posterity who do not look backward to their ancestors."-Edmund Burke

THE AUTHOR OF THIS WISE COMMENT was upright, con- scientious, conservative, religious and profound. His character commands Universal Respect. He was born in Ireland in 1730,-two years before our Zartman ancestors arrived in America. Many great things have had small beginnings. The giant oak grew from a tiny acorn. The mighty sea is an accumulation of little drops of water. From Alexander Zartman, Wife and two sons in this country has sprung forth a family now located in forty or more States of our Union, from Massachusetts to Washington and from Florida to Alaska, and Canada, Mexico, Panama, Hawaii, Phillippine Islands, and Africa. This mar­ velous growth began in Lancaster Co., Pa., in 1728, four years, five months and twenty-two days before George Washington was born. Alexander Zartman, my ancestor, and his heroic wife, Ann Catharina, and their sons, Jacob and AlexandP.r II, seem like four giant pillars supporting a vast human super­ structure-the Zartman family now spread over such a vast area.

ALEXANDER ZARTMAN AND ANN CATHARINA ZARTMAN and their son Jacob aged five years came from Germany in the summer of A. D. 1728. They are classified with thousands of other immigrants as coming from the Palatinate. It is more probable that they came out of the province of Wuer­ temberg. They came down the River Rhine to Rotterdam, Holland, and from there, on June 22, 1728, via Cowes, they sailed for this new, faraway Western world. Their ship was a 2 THE ZARTMAN F .AMILY

sailing vessel named Albany, and the master of it was Lazarus Oxman. This ship was their home for seventy days. On or about 8/31/1728, the Albany came up the Delaware River and arrived safely in the port of Philadelphia, which was then a city forty­ five years old. That was 213 years ago. The Albany on this most important voyage brought over thirty adult male passengers. The total number, counting men, women and children, was about one hundred passengers. The names of the following males are on record: Andrew Ablin, Lorentz Belitz, Johan Daniel Bengel, George Frid. V. Berbis­ dorff, Jerig Fred Bergenstott, Jan Bloemen, Hans Georg Buch, Georg Wendel Buegel, Hans Jacob Donbach, Conrad Dubois, Friederich Eichelberger, Georg Gertner, Johan Philip Glasser, Casper Hoth, Martin Kalb, Mathies Kapling, Michel Keim, Johan Carl Keil, Hans Meuller, Hans Georg Motz, Hans Jerick Rieger, Casper Riedt, Simon Scholler, Philip Shoman, Johannes Shonfeldt, Heinrich Stellfeldt, Frid Christof Von Steysplatz, Philip Thoman, Jacob Weiess, and Alexander Zartmnnn. , Our ancestor and the men who came with him on the good ship Albany qualified as American citizens on 9/4/1728, in Philadelphia. A law had been passed by the Provincial Council requiring every male immigrant, sixteen years of age and up­ wards, upon arrival at the port of Philadelphia, to appear before the Mayor o:i' Court of the County and subscribe allegiance to King George II. This was done by Alexander Zartman. The oath of allegiance to which he and bis fellow-voyageirs sub­ scribed was as follows: "We, subscribers, natives and late inhabitants of the,,Pala­ tinate upon the Rhine, having transported ourselves and families into this Province of Pennsylvania, a colony subject to the crown of Great Britain, in hopes and expectations of findin~ a retreat and peaceable settlement therein, do solemnly promise and en­ gage that we '\\

Alexander Zartman signed his name to the foregoing oath, and a certified tracing of his signature is given herewith:

This is a facsimile of bis autograph. The name as be signed it in German is Allexander Zarttmann. Evidently he liked to double letters, for ·he uses "ll", "tt" and "nn." But never afterward is his name found in that form. Subsequently it in­ variably is written and printed A-1-e-x-a-n-d-e-r Z-a-r-t-m-a-n. Even the double n is discontinued by him. So he wrote it in and signed it to his last will and testament. In the deed which Thomas and Richard Penn gave him on sheepskin, his name is written with a goose quill eight times as ALEXANDER ZARTMAN. Our noble ancestor had a most interesting and unique ex­ perience on the Atlantic Ocean, and one that we chronicle with pride and gratitude. It evinces the piety, faith and Christian character of the man. A child was born at sea. The parents de­ sired to have it baptized on board ship. There was no clergy­ man on board to administer this beautiful, sacred rite. Though not a minister, Alexander Za: tman, whose Christian piety must have impressed the parents, was invited to baptize the sea-baby. He accepted the honor and christened the child. The writer has crossed the ocean four times and preached on great steamships, but bas never bad the privilege of baptizing any one at sea. Fol­ lowinr is the record of this baptism: "A daughter of George Wendel Buege), born on the ocean in July, 1728, was baptized by Alexander Zartman. The child was named Maria Eva. Sponsor was Maria Eva Krimm." To validate this act by a layman Alexander Zartman caused the record of it to be made in the baptismal register of the Muddy Creek Church, Lancaster County, Pa. This interesting and gratifying fact is inscribed on the first page of the record of baptisms in the Muddy Creek Lutheran Church. It appears that Alexander Zartman and wife attended this place of worship in the years 1728 and 1729. 4 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

After tarrying some days in the City of Brotherly Love, Alexander and Ann Catharina Zartman, by some means, proba­ bly by following the pike leading to Harrisburg, found their way into the Tulpehocken region, southwest of Reading, possibly not far from the Muddy Creek Reformed and Lutheran Church. Later, and before 1730, they moved to Warwick township, Lancaster County, Pa. There near the pike, just south of what now is known as Brickerville, they settled on a tract of land which they purchased in 1738. On that farm they resided thirty­ two or more years, and there they died. On 4/25/1738, Alex­ ander Zartman obtained a warrant for. the survey of a tract of land in Warwick township, Lanraster County, paying therefor twenty-seven pounds, fourteen shillings and ten pence (:$134.24) for one hundred and seventy-nine acres. This transaction is re­ corded under date of 10/12/1750, together with a draft of the land. The books containing these records were formerly in Philadelphia, but are now in the office of the Secretary of In­ ternal Affairs, Harrisburg,, Pa. (See Patent Book A, vol. 15, p. 524, and Patent.Book D, vol. 6, p. 130.) This plantation of 179 acres, with liberal allowances for roads, was deeded to Alexander Zartman by Thomas Penn and Richard Penn, proprietors of the Province of Pennsylvania. The original deed on sheepskin is at present in the custody of the writer, through the courtesy of Ezra G. Zartman, late of Man­ heim, Pa. In my first visit on the famous Zartman farm in Warwick Township it was owned by William Zartman. The son Ezra had an inborn appreciation of antiques, of relics, of keepsakes. He was the holder of the venerable old deed on sheepskin written with a quill in English. It was very fortunate Ezra was then guardian of the old deed or it would have been destroyed when . the house burnt down. I was prompted to have a thousand facsimile copies made of the deed so as to perpetuate it and to teach all descendants from Alexander Zartman that the one and only English spelling of the name is Zartman. In the old deed it is written that way eight times and only that way. ALEXANDER ZARTMAN AND Win 5

FACSIMILE OF THE DEED GIVEN TO ALEXANDER ZARTMAN BY THOMAS PENN AND RICHARD PENN, 1760

One of these facsimile deeds was mailed to a young lady in Columbus, Ohio. It brought me the following Jines of apprecia­ tion. "Columbus, Ohio, December 17, 1936. My dear Uncle Rufus: I thank you so much for the interesting copy of the deed which the Penns drew up for our first ancestor in America. You do so many ni"e things for people and that is one reason no doubt why so many thousands love you. With love, Edith." Now I feel reassured that my deep and strong appreciation of the old deed is correct and commendable and that it shall be made permanent by this early insertion in the new History. During the first two years of their residence in Lancaster County Alexander Zartman and his wife attended the services of the Lutheran Church at Muddy Creek. At that church was made the record of the baptism at sea. These facts and their subsequent connection with the Lutheran Church at Bricker­ ville induce us to think that they were Lutherans before they came to America. However, they may have become Protestants only after their arrive.I in thi11 country. Up to the time of the War of the Revolution the Catholics bad no property rights in Pennsylvania. There were likely no Catholics in Warwick township at that time. These facts may have ca.used our pro­ genitors to espouse the Protestant faith and to join the Lutheran Church. The Emanuel Congregation at Brickerville was organized in 1730. Alexander Zartman and his wife, Ann Catharina, were charter members of it. Alexander was one of its first four 8 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

Trustees; he and the other Trustees secured 39½ acres of ground for the use of the Church. This grant of land was obtained from the lawful owners, Thomas Penn and Richard Penn, sons of the famous historic personage William Penn, and the identical tract of ground is in the possession of the Emanuel Church to date; on it is the beautiful house of worship, a manse, a cemetery, and a pretty grove in which Sunday School picnics, reunions and other social gatherings are held. Emanuel Church, sacred and beloved edifice, was erected in the year of our Lord, 1805. It was completed and dedicated in the year 1806. The records show that the three sons of Alexander Zartman II made large contributions toward this honored house of God. These sons were John Michael, Alex­ ander III and Emanuel. It is of record that these brothers contributed time, labor, materials and money. They used their teams of horses or oxen and did much hauling of building materials. The father of our country wrote the immortal words: "Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy people." With sincere and reverent spirit we may apply the foregoing words of George Washington to the work and building of the kingdom of God. The spirit that prompted materials and builded the house of God is admirable and most praiseworthy. This is very laudable family history. In 1928 the interior of the Church was remodeled, the galleries were removed, a sloping .floor was put full length across the second story, pews were installed in this auditorium, new memor­ ial windows were installed, the reredos, lectern, altar and pulpit were placed in this very pleasing sanctuary. All of the fine hand wood carvings were saved and utilized. The room on the ground floor is now utilized by the Church School. The alterations modernized and greatly beautified the interior of this dear church at a cost of thirteen thousand dollars. Jesus the Founder of tho Church said: "Beek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness." "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven." "By their fruits ye shall know them." Alexander Zartman, though a comparative stranger in this community, having been here only two years from a foreign land, was chosen as one of the first four tnistees of this new church in 1730. That was a real honor and a proof of frnternnl confidence nnd esteem. ALEXANDER ZARTMAN AND WD"E 9

The historian, Dr. Rufus C. Zartman, at the fifth national reunion on 8/14/1913, married a couple in Emanuel Church, namely, William Milton Fahs and Miss Sarah Jane Becker, both of York, Pa. For this felicitous event the .church was crowded to its capacity. At the seventh national family reunion the historian baptized in this church June Permilla, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Levi Zartman, of Lebanon, Pa. The date was 8/19/1920. These sacred rites were preferred in that church because of its historic background, and on account of associations with it by members of the Zartman family for more than two centuries. The old State road or pike runs through these grounds, just north of the church. In the beautiful churchyard west of the stately old edifice lie the mortal remains of Alexander and Ann Catharina Zartman. No stone marked their place of burial. This impressed us as very sad and shameful neglect and we resolved that as soon as possible money must be collected, and a monument erected to the loving memory and in grateful honor of our esteemed and most honorable forebears. At our first three family reunions the historian published the fact that our worthy ancestors bad no tombstones and urged that we unitedly raise a fund and erect a suitable memorial monu­ ment at the place of their burial. The unveiling and dedication of the monument took place at our 5th national reunion on August 14, 1913. The event never to be forgotten, was very largely attended and profoundly impressive. All rejoiced and thanked God that at last this very important duty was so grandly and happily attended to. (See Preface for further details.) Alexander Zartman and his noble wife Ann Catharina bad two children, sons, named Jacob and Alexander, Jr. Since publishing our History in 1909 we have made many interesting discoveries which now appear in this revised volume. Thirty years ago we did not know when and where Jacob the older son was born or married. We surmised that he might have been born in Germany and brought by his parents to America. Now we know as a fact that he was born in 1723 in Germany. He was therefore five years old in 1728 when his parents brought him with them on the eventful voyage to North America. The 10 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

younger son, Alexander, Jr., was born at Brickerville, Pa., on 7/29/1731, which was six months and a half before George Washington was bom. Alexander, Jr., was the first Zartman born in the western hemisphere. We have been unable to find that these parents had any other offspring. Diligent and wide­ spread quest has been made, thinking they might have had other issue. We have found none. Jacob and Alexander, Jr., lived, grew up in Warwick Twp., in and about Brickerville, Lititz, and Manheim. These sons came to be the two strong branches of the Zartman family in North America-the Jacob Branch and the Alexander Branch. These leaders married and each had a family of commendable size. Jacob was father of four sons and four daughters. His brother Alexander bad three sons and four daughters. Both of these families grew to maturity in Lancaster Co., Pa. How­ ever in 1768 the Jacob family with the exception of Jacob, Jr., and wife took up residence near Sunbury in Northumberland Co., Pa. Alexander, Jr., and family remained in the place of his nativity in Warwick Twp., Pa. In our former treatise which appeared in 1909 we were unable to announce when and to whom Jacob was married. Our slogan or motto is "Seek and ye shall find." Our search has been happily rewarded and we can now quote from the marriage records of Rev. John Casper Stoever who says that he married Jacob Zartman and Anna Margaretha Riehm on 8/14/1744 in Warwick Twp., Pa. This bas been very gratifying information concerning my great great grandparents. I hope some day I can tell them face to face that I found their long hidden secret. I am still in quest of like information about Alexander II. He married a lady by the name of Magdalena. He may have called her "Lovie" or "Maggie" for short, but what was her maiden name and what was the date of their . marriage? Who can find these secrets for us? For this hunting you need no expensive license and the season is open the year around. Try your luck!

PART II Chapter I Jacob Zartman and Family

JACOB, eon of Alexander and Ann Catharina Zartman, was born in Germany in 1723 and brought by hie parents to America in the year 1728. He lived with his parents on a farm in War­ wick Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa., with his parents from 1730, and later with his only brother, Alexander, Junior. In his youth Jacob was do~btless an attendant at the services in the Emanuel Lutheran Church, Brickerville, Pa., He was nurtured and reared under Christian precept and example by devout parents. At the age of twenty-one be bad courted and chosen bis life partner: so on 8/14/1744 be married Anna Margaretha Riehm (Ream). This marriage was solemnized by Rev. John Casper Stoever, a notable Lutheran minister of that period. The mar­ riage took place in Warwick Twp. Thie is news never before published. We discovered the record of it in the Historical Society of Lancaster Co., Pa., at 307 N. Duke Street. This was the initial marriage of a Zartman in North America. What thrills and pangs of joy come from genealogical research-as in bunting, finding, and bagging game! If Jacob was twenty-one at marriage, then he was born in 1723; and it also proves he was born in Germany, and brought by his parents to America at the age of five years. To Jacob and Anna Margaretha were born four eons and four daughters. We found the birth records of only three of their children. In the baptismal register of Emanuel Lutheran Church it says Anna Margaretha was b. 10/28/1755, and that Eva was b. 10/1/1758. Then in Zion Cemetery, Thom Twp., Perry Co., Ohio, on Peter's tombstone it reads that he was b. 3/15/1760. From Jacob's last will and testament we know that their eon, Henry, was their "first born." The parents m. in August 1744; hence Henry may have been b. in 1745. The eight children of Jacob and Anna Margaretha may have been born in the fol­ lowing order: (1) Henry in 1745; (2) Martin in 1747; (3) Jacob, 12 TlUl ZARTMAN FAMILY

Jr., in 1749; (4) Susanna in 1751; (5) Anna Margaretha, Jr., 10/28/1755; (6) Eva, 10/1/1758; (7) Peter 3/15/1760; (8) Anna Maria, 1762. As to when the other children were born we can only con­ jecture. I have put Martin second in the list of births because his father, in his will, mentions Martin first four times. We would like, especially, to know the date of the birth of Jacob, Jr., who wrote his name high on the scroll of fame by devotion to his church and by heroic service for his country in the War of the Revolution. The eight children of Jacob Zartman, Senior, grew up on the Zartman homestead in Warwick Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa., and all but Eva are mentioned in their father's will written in 1793, and published herewith. On this farm is a large brick house with a kitchen and dining­ room in the basement and then two full stories above. Just south and east of this substantial brick dwelling house erected in 1861 is a strong spring of very fresh water which is worth a fortune. This water flows through the two-story stone spring­ house in which is a large fire-place specially useful on wash days, butcherings, and at the cooking of apple butter. There is also a rock-hewn trough, filled with the cold spring water and holding the earthen pans and jars that contain milk, cream, butter, and fresh meats. In the second story of the spring­ house is painted this date: "December 1, 1776.'' Did my great grandfather, Henry Zartman, paint these words? He owned those premises then, and was at that time on the Committee of Safety of Mahanoy Township in connection with the War of the Revolution. Near the brick dwelling stood a tall and beautiful bushy, pear tree that bore delicious fruit and from which four genera­ tions gathered large crops. On his initial visit to that place the writer ate of those pears, and examined the tree. That was on October 19 and 20, 1895. Early in the present century a de­ structive gale blew down the famous pear tree and ended its usefulness. A gavel from it, used at the first national reunion in Northumberland Co., Pa., is in the custody of the family historian. The gavel was made by Henry B. Longsdorf, father of two ministers. On this famous farm is a brick church, well known as "Zart­ man's Church." It is the property of the United Evangelical JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY· 13

Denomination. That brick church was erected in the year 1864. The first Sabbath day which the historian spent there was 10/20/1895. He preached in the forenoon on the "Trans­ figuration of Christ"; ih the evening, on "The Penitent Thief." At both services be was assisted by his cousin, Rev. Daniel Zartman Kemble, a minister of the U. E. Church, then living retired in Jersey City: Cousin Samuel S. Zartman started the hymns and led the singing. At the night service there were present about seventy Zartmans, and some Kobels, all new and strange to the writer. He bad not then learned who was who in the immense relationship. Cousin Rose Zartman of Ohio bad visited there in 1885, and the writer's parents, Isaac and Rebecca Zartman, accompanied by Bernard and Leah Mechling, made a brief visit there in November of 1892. Isaac Zartman's father, Alexander Zartman the 4th, was born and reared on that farm and Isaac's mother Saloma Kobel was reared on a farm nearby; but Alexander and Saloma Zartman had left there eighty-one years before that and migrated to Ohio in 1811. If any one would ever undertake to trace out these intricate and involved relationships, he might be thought crazy, or expecting to perform a miracle. There was one like Julius Caesar, who came, and saw, and conquered. He believed the Zartmans in America were all inter-related and of the same kin; he has demonstrated his theory to be correct. Regular services are no longer held in this old and dear Zart­ man's Church; but annually there is a home coming service there at which the writer has been the guest preacher on several occasions, and has learned to know the many relatives there as in many other areas. On this Zartman farm, first owned by Jacob Zartman, Senior, are three burial grounds near the Church: one is directly in front of the. church, and in it are believed to repose the bodies of Jacob, Senior, and son, Henry, both of whom rendered service in the Revolutionary War. The grave of neither one was marked in any way. To us, this was unpatriotic, un­ grateful, unbearable. Our appeal to the War Department in Washington brought us two properly engraved marble monu­ ments which we erected, and at a public service unveiled and dedicated on Sunday afternoon, 9/23/1934. The impressive 1:1ervice was attended by one hundred and fifty persons. The offering given covered the expenses incurred by the erection 14 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

of the monuments. At the dedication of these memorials the historian spoke as follows: 1. Jacob Zartman, Senior, buried here, was my great, great grandfather; he was born in Germany in 1723 and died on this farm in 1793, aged three score and ten years. His parents brought him to America in 1728. He lived forty-five years in Lancaster County. In 1768 with his wife and children he came to North­ umberland County. Here he purchased a farm of 122 acres. In June 1780 he entered service in the War of the Revolution under Ensign Simon Herrold's party of the Militia of this County and was on the pay roll. He died on this farm and it is believed that he is buried here. Apparently no tombstone ever marked the spot of his interment. We are here today to honor his memory because of the patriotic and heroic service which he rendered for the freedom and independence of his and our country. The Government, through the War Department in Washington, and at our 13olicitation, has donated a headstone for this hero. I now have the satisfaction and honor to unveil this memorial. 2. Henry Zartman, son of Jacob, was my great grandfather; he was born in Lancaster Co., Pa., and grew to manhood there. With his parents and family in 1768 he came to Northumberland County where he became a very prominent, influential, useful, and public-spirited citizen in church and civic life. He served the State for some years in the office of Justice. In the War of the Revolution he served on the Committee of Safety from Augusta township in 1774; later be served on the same Com­ mittee as representative from Mahanoy Township, until 1777. He was also a Constable in this county in 1790 and 1791. No tombstone has marked the place of the sepulture of this hero and patriot. The Government has also kindly donated a head­ stone in his honor, which I do now unveil with grateful hand and heart. May the buried ashes of these heroes and patriots rest in peace, and in the morning of the resurrection of the just be crowned with everlasting life and glory!

JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 15

To Thee we sing: Long may our land be bright With freed'om's holy light: Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King."

Jacob Zartman, Senior, wife and family, were members of the Himmel's Lutheran Church. The registers there of baptisms and communions make frequent mention of them. The first recorded communion held in Himmel's Church was just four days before the signing of the Declaration of Independence; there were sixty-four communicants. Once on the honorable list were Elder Henry Zartman and wife, Elisabeth, Martin, and Anna Maria Zartman, both single. At the communion on Christmas, 1795, when eighty-three communed, Jacob and Peter Zartman, brothers, sons of Jacob, Senior, stood side by side at the sacramental altar. As one passes through the aisles of this "Heaven Church," as its name implies, it is gratifying and inspiring to rethink these thoughts pertaining to our fore­ bears. The sense of gratitude for the historic records of our ancestors deepens and becomes more and more gratifying.

In February of 1703, Jacob Zartman, Senior, made his last will and testament, and died either in February or March of the same year. He is most likely buried on the farm where he spent the last twenty-five years of his earthly pilgrimage. Fol­ lowing is a translation of his last will, which we found in the court house at Sunbury, Pennsylvania:

"In the name of God, Amen.. I, Jacob Zartman, of Mahanoy township, in the county of Northumberland, having taken to heart how that all men must die, but the time of death uncertain, have therefore thought fit to make this my last will and testament that my family may know bow it shall be had with my estate after my decease. First, I give and bequeath unto my two sons, Martin and Peter, my land and plantation whereon I now live, and to their heirs and assigns forever, as tenants in common, on the following condition, that is to say, they shall bring all my affairs into order, and finally settle everything and then clear the land out of the land office, and after this is performed, then my 16 THE ZARTHAN FAMILY true friends and neighbors, Martin Hoyl, Peter Forster, Philip Moyer and Samuel Weiser shall appraise the same, and after my sons, Martin and Peter have deducted their reasonable cost, as also twenty pounds for the new barn, then the overplus shall be divided share and share alike between all my hereinafter men­ tioned children, to-wit: Henry, Martin, Peter, Jacob, Margareth, Anna Maria and Susannah, at and upon such time as the said men shall appoint, who shall have respect in the appraisement of the dower which my said two sons must give to my wife, Anna Mar­ gareth, according to a writing, which I gave unto her, dated the 23d day of July, 1791. Second, I give and bequeath unto my son Henry the sum of one shilling and six pence ster:ing as my first born, and as such he shall no other or more demand. Third, It is my will and I give my little movables which I am yet in pos­ session of, and which I have not yet distributed among my chil­ dren, to my said sons, Martin and Peter, with this proviso, that if the horse which I have destined for my said wife Anna Marga­ reth during her natural life, be yet living at the time of her de­ cease, the same shall also be appraised and the money divided as aforesaid. I ordain and constitute herewith my aforesaid sons Martin and Peter executors of this, my testament, and make void all former wills by me made, be they in writing or verbal, and constitute this above. In witness whereof I have signed this with my own hand and put my seal thereto the 11th day of February, 1793. His JACOB X ZARTMAN. Mark" The witnesses were Martin Hoy! and Sam. Weiser. The will was probated 3/30/1793.

On 7/9/1798, the children and heirs of the said Jacob Zartman, Sr., deeded an estate to their brother, Henry Zartman, for and in consideration of the sum of 366 pounds (Sl,771.44) paid by him. The names attached to this deed are as follows: 1. Jacob Zartman and his wife, Regina, of Heidelberg town­ ship, in Dauphin county. 2. Susanna Zartman, intermarried with Conrad Schreckengast, of the county of Berks. 3. Anna Maria Zartman, now intermarried with Henry Groninger, also of the JACOB ZARTllA.N A.ND F.llOLY 17 county of Berks. 4. Martin Zartman and Susanna, his wife. 6. Anna Margaretha Zartman, now intermarried with Thomas Dobson. 6. Peter Zartman and Catherine, his wife. We have some further knowledge concerning these daughters of Jacob Zartman, Sr., namely Mrs. Susannah Schreckengast, Mrs. Maria Groninger and Mrs. Margaretha Dobson. Daughter Eva is not mentioned in her father's will and may have died. The four sons of Jacob will be treated in the order in which they are mentioned in bis will, viz.: Henry, Martin, Peter and Jacob, Jr. SUSANNA ZARTMAN m.

ANNA MARGARETHA ZARTMAN m. Thomas Dobson of North­ umberland County and had a daughter, Catharina, b. 3/29/1786; bapt. 4/23/1786. Sponsors were Uncle Peter Zartman and bis wife, Aunt Catherine Elisabeth. All of these baptisms are of record in Himmel's Church,· organized in 1773. In his former treatise, the historian had found very little to write about the Schreckengasts, Dobsons, and Groningers. On 7/30/1910 a very interesting letter was written by Jacob R. Hi:bush, Surveyor, Conveyancer, J.P., N.P., Ins. Agt., and Prominent Church Elder from Mahanoy, Pa., as follows: "On page 12 I find you name Mrs. Margaretha Dobson and some others that you have no further knowledge of. Dobson had a tract of land on the north side of a small mountain about one and one quarter miles south of Mahanoy, Pa., and one mile 18 THE ZARTMAN FAIIILY

I made the Deed for the part sold. There are some of the Dobson descendants in our neighborhood. I did not know they were Zartman descendants until I saw the . Zartman History.''

Written in answer to a letter to His Majesty under date of 6/2/1662, concerning the admission of Freemen, the following reply was made 8/3/1664: "All Englishmen presenting a certificate under the hand of the ministers or minister of tbf' place where they dwell, that they are orthodox in religion and not vicious in their lives and also a certificate under the hands of the select men of the place or the major part of them that they are freeholders; and are for their own proper state (without heads of persons) rateable to the country in a single county rate, after the usual manner of valuation in the place where they live, to the full value of ten shillings, or that they are in full communion with some church amongst us; it shall be in the liberty of all and every such person or persons being twenty four years of age, householders and settled inhabitants in this jurisdiction, from time to time to present themselves and their desires to this court for their admittance to the freedom of this commonwealth and shall be allowed the privilege to have such their desires propounded and put to vote in the general court, for acceptance to the freedom of the body politick, by the suffrage of the major pa.rte according to the rules of our patent."

OATH OF A FREEMAN "I, being by God's providence, an inhabitant within the jurisdiction of this commonwealth and now to be made a freeman, do here freely acknowledge myself to be subject to the govern­ ment thereof; And therefore do here swear by the great and dreadful! name of the ever living God, that I will be true and faithfull to the same, and will accordingly yield assistance and support thereunto, with my person and estate, as in equity I am bound, and will also truly endeavor to maintain and pre- JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 19

serve all the liberties and privileges thereof, submitting myself unto the wholesome laws made and established by the same. And, farther, that I wili not plot or practice evil against it, or consent to any that shall so doe; but will timely discover and reveal the same to la.wfull authority now here established, for the speedy prevention thereof. Moreover I do solemnly bind myself in the sight of God that when I shall be called to give my voice touching any such matter of this state, wherein Freemen are to deal, I will give my vote and suffrage as I shall in my own conscience jud11;e best to conduce and tend to the publick weal of the Body, without respect of persons or favor of any man. So help me God, in our Lord Jesus Christ."

The above oath of a Freeman was taken by Jacob Zartman, Senior, who was now living in Northumberland Co., Pa. The language, spirit and purpose are portrayals of strong upright Christian character. In 1771 a Jacob Zartman is taxed as a freeman in Elizabeth Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa.,-amount of tax 15 pounds. In 1772 he is also truced as a freeman in the same amount. The foregoing tax was imposed on lands owned by Jacob Zartman, Junior, who then lived in Lancaster Co. At that time Jacob, Senior, owned no land in Lancaster County. For the above interesting finds the historian is indebted to his niece, Mrs. Josephine Zartman Diefenbach, Historian! When great, great grandfather Jacob Zartman took the above Oath of Freeman he had been in America 46 years. It was now A. D. 1792. . On June 20, 1754, Alexander Zartman and his wife, Ann Cath­ arina, deeded seventy-one acres of their farm to their older son, Jacob. This deed was recorded 7/6/1755, and the following is an abstract therefrom: "Alexander and Catharine Zartman, for the love and affection they have and do bear for their said son, Jacob, as also for and in consideration of the sum of five shillings (Sl.20) current money of the Province, to them paid . . . do acknowledge them­ selves therewith fully content and paid." This was Jacob's patrimony, and therefore no mention of him is made in the will of the father. 20 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

On 10/6/1762, Alexander Zartman I wrote his last will and testament, which was probated 12/27/1762. He may have died early in December 1762. His age is not given. If he lived the allotted time-three score and ten years, then ho was b. in tho year 1692. He lived in America thirty-four years. How devoutly grateful we are for the pluck and courage and kind Providence which brought him and his good wife to this land of the free and home of the brave! All honor to them and heart­ felt thanks to the God of our fathers! Ann Catharina survived her husband, and carried out the instructions of Alexander's will. The time of her decease has not been discovered. The last will and testament of Alexander Zartman is on record in Lancaster, Pa., and is as follows: "I, Alexander Zartman, of Lancaster County, yeoman, being sick and weak in body, but of sound mind and memory. Thanks be given unto ·God, therefore calling unto mind the mortality of my body, and knowing that it is appointed unto all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament in the following: Item, I give and bequeath unto Ann Catharina, my beloved wife, all that my plantation and tract of land situate in Warwick township in the said county of Lancaster, containing about one hundred acres, together with all the rights and profits thereon or therefrom arising during her natural life, and after her decease, I give, devise and bPqueath the said plantation and tract of land unto my son, Alexander Zartman, to hold the same to him, his heirs and assigns forever. Item, I give, devise and bequeath unto my said wife and to her heirs and assigns forever all and singular my personal estate whatsoever I may or shall die possessed of. And I do hereby constitute, make and ordain my said wife to be my only and sole executrix of this my last will and testament, and I do utterly disallow, revoke and disannul a 1 and every other former testaments, wills, legacies and executors by me in any ways before this time named, willed and bequeathed, ratifying and confirming this to be my last will and testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this sixth day of October, 1762. ALEXANDER ZARTMAN." Tho subscribing witnesses to this wiH were Samuel Royer, Jacob Hauser and Emanuel Carpenter. JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 21

On December-.', 1759, Jacob Zartman deeded to George Grafie the seventy-one acres •which his kind Christian parents had given to him and his family in 1754. The consideration was two hundred and eip:hty (280) pounds ($1,355.20). He had also acquired other land arid on 2/15/1764 he deeded another farm of seventy-five (75) acres to George Graffe. It looked as if Jacob might intend to change his place of abode. I wondered where he would go. Think of leaving beautiful, ferti'e, pro­ ductive Lancaster County, Pennsylvania! On 8/2/1768 my beloved great, great grandfather was sold out by the Sheriff of Lancaster County to satisfy a judp:ment of two poundR and eleven shillings, and a mortgage of seventy-two pounds, ten shillings and six pence. The eighty acres sold for one hundred ninety-one (191) pounds and ten (10) shillings. To force the sale of his property to satisfy such petty claims could not· have been prompted by the second Comn:andment-"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Quite possibly out of a sense of humiliation, Jacob and his beloved wife resolved to move out of the community in which they had resided forty-five years. Thereupon they removed to Jackson Township, North­ umberland County, Pa., and purchased a farm of one hundred twenty-two (122) acres at the base of Line Mountain. The consideration was eleven pounds ($53.24). On 4/3/1775 John Adam Shaffer deeded a farm of one hun­ dred (100) acres to ,Jacob Zartman. These tracts of land along the southern base of Line Mountain constitute the beautiful Zartman homestead of the Mahanoy area. It is a place of grcnt historic interest and from it have gone forth strong, noble men and women of the Ja~ob, Branch into many states of the Union such as Virginia, Louisiana, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, 111inois, Michigan, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, Montana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, California, Arizona, Oregon, WI\Bhington, Texas, Idaho, South Dakota, North Dakota. This beautiful homestead at Linc Mountain after Jacob's death was owned by his sons, Martin and Peter; then by their brother, Henry; then by Henry's son, John Martin; then Mar­ tin's son, Daniel; then by Daniel's son, Samuel Seiler Zartman, who in 1920 sold it to Edward Hilbush for $5,000.00. 22 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

The older son, Jacob, is not mentioned in the last will and testament of his father. Not a thing is here devised to son Jacob. The fact that he did not contest the will is high praise to Jacob. Had not the elder son received his inheritance in 1754 when the parents deeded to him seventy-one acres of the homestead? That is true, but some sons would try to upset the will and get another slice of the estate, and thereby create shameful notoriety. This home, in precepts and practices, was soundly Christian. It was an ideal home. Here is a picture of the stone edifice in which our ancestors lived on their farm of one hundred seventy-nine (179) acres. This pretty and historic home was destroyed by fire in 1920. Just eighteen months before that misfortune, the historian hired a photographer to make this picture-the only one known to be in existence. THE HOMESTEAD AT lllllCKERVILLE1 PA.

Chapter II

HENRY ZARTMAN, WIFE AND TEN CHILDREN

HENRY ZARTMAN, son of Jacob, Senior, son of Alexander I, is at the head of a numerous family. Jacob in his will calls Henry "my first born." We do not know the date of his nativity. He was born possibly in 1746 in Lancaster Co., Pa., where he dwelt until the year 1768. He m. Elisabeth Hauser (b. in 1764), daughter of Jacob Hauser, Lancaster Co., Pa., who served in the Lancaster Militia in 1778. Jacob Hauser was b. in 1711 and d. in August 1793. The children of Henry and Elisabeth Zartman were as follows: 1. Christena, seems to have been the first born daughter and that may have been in 1772. She m. George Neihart and had a daughter Barbara, who burned to death one night in the home of her Uncle John Jacob Zartman. 2. John Martin, b. 12/31/1774. 3. John Henry, b. 9/6/1776. 4. John Peter, b. 11/30/1778. 6. John Jacob, b. 12/10/1780. 6. Elisabeth, b. 1783. 7. Sophia, b. 3/12/1785. 8. Alexander, b. 10/29/1786. 9. Samuel, b. 12/13/1788. Also Michael, b. --, d. -- in 179.9; a blacksmith.

Elisabeth, mother of this large family, d. in 1793 and was buried with her husband in the cemetery at Zartman's Evan­ gelical Church. It is remarkable that there are four Johns in this family. We doubt if the parents named and had them baptized that way. We found the birth and baptismal certi­ ficate of John Jacob and he was christened with that name. We think the other sons assumed, or added, the name John. At that same time there was another Peter, Martin, and Henry Zartman in that community. There may have been confusion with each other's mail, causing them to prefix the name John. 24 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

In court records these sons of Henry usually go by the names Martin, Pet.er, and Jacob; but occasionally John is affixed; this has been quite troublesome to the historian. Henry Zartman was a prosperous farmer; at the time of his death he bad an estate of three hundred twelve (312) acres. He was a man of affairs, popular with his fellowmen, minister­ ing to the public good, and a prominent churchman; he and his good wife Elisabeth were frequently invited to net as godr:arents in baptismal services. Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Zartman, was still single when her father made his will in 1803. Sophia is not mentioned in the will; she may have been deceased. Michael, though dead prior to 1803, is named in the will and the father devises his share of the estate to Michael's sons, John Henry and Michael, Jr. Following is the last will and testament of Henry Zartman as translated. The will is of record in the Court House in Sunbury, Pa.

"In the name of God, Amen. I, Henry Zartman, of the town­ ship of Mahanoy, in the county of Northumberland, being weak in body, but of sound and perfect mind and memory, blessed be Almighty God for the same, do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and form followinl', (that is to say): First of all I resign my soul and body into the hand of God, who gave it me, and I order and direct that my body be buried in a decent like manner, and that my funeral expenses and just debts be paid by hereinafter named executors. First, I give and devise to my son, Martin Zartman, his heirs and assigns, all my planta­ tion whereon I now dwell, containing two hundred and six acres, and one hundred and six acres of hill land adjoining Philip Lefter, for which be is to pay eight hundred pounds in real specie of gold or silver money of Pennsylvania, exclusive of his own share, in sixteen instalments. In one year after my death fifty pounds to my daughter Christena, intermarried with George Neihart, and fifty pounds in two years after my death to my son Henry, and so on, fifty pounds yearly to each of my children, to-wit: Peter, Jacob, Elizabeth, Alexander and Samuel, and fifty pounds to my two grandsons, Henry and Michael, heirs of Mi­ chael Zartman, deceased, and so on fifty pounds yearly in rota­ tion; beginning at Christena, till the above mentioned sum of eight hundred pounds is paid, and the said three hundred and JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 25 twelve acres of land to be held in security till the eight hundred pounds are paid in manner above mentioned. And, .further, I order that my son Mar11in shall give my beloved wife, Elizabeth Zartman, leave to live in the house I now live in with him as long as she lives, and she is to have one-fourth part of the garden during her lifetime, and Martin is to give unto his mother ten bushels of wheat, five bushels of rye, five bushels of buckwheat, fifty pounds of beef, one hundred pounds of pork, ten pounds of flax, ten pounds of tow, four pounds of wool, a sufficiency of wood at the door cut small, the grain to be taken to the mill; the meal to be brought home to the house yearly, and every year one bar­ rel of cider and one barrel of water cider, and as many apples as will make one bushel of dried apples, if a good year for apples yearly and every year, as long as she lives all the above articles to be given, exclusive of the eight hundred pounds, and Martin is to keep a cow in feed for bis mother as long as she bas a cow. Secondly, I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife, Elizabeth Zartman, three pounds of the money that is in the house, her own bedstead, bed and bedding, one cow, the clock, a copper kettle, a small pot and frying pan, her own chest and one-third of all the personal estate. Thirdly, I order that all the remainder of my personal estate be sold at public vendue as soon as possi­ ble by my executors hereinafter named and equally divided among my eight children (and my two grandsons one share) to­ wit: Christena, Martin, Henry, Peter, Jacob, Elizabeth, Alexan­ der, Samuel (and Henry and Michael, heirs of Michael Zartman, deceased) one share, and when my wife shall die all that she has left shall be sold at public vendue and equally divided among my eight children and my two grandsons one share. Fourthly, I give and bequeath unto Catharine Zartman, widow of Michael Zartman, deceased, since intermarried with Daniel Kauble (Ko­ bel), five shillings for her share in full. Fifthly, I give and be­ queath unto Henry Alfice five shillings for bis share in full. Sixthly, I order that my two sons, Alexander and Samuel, shall be under the care of my hereinafter named executors and shall be bound out to such trades and to such masters as the boys shall choose, as soon as convenient after my decease. And I do hereby appoint my son, Martin Zartman, and John Laur my executors of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my 26 TRE ZARTMAN F AWLY hand and seal the twelfth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and three. His HENRY X ZA.RTHAN." Mark." Witnessed by Martin Zartman and ·Abraham McKinney. Probated October 1, 1803. The testator is most likely buried on the old homestead, which in his deed to the place is called "Hen­ ry's Delight." The place of sepulture is assumed to be in the cemetecy directly in front of the church on "Henry's Delight." And there we caused a monument to be erected in his honor on Sunday, September 23, 1934. Finding graves of worthy and notable forbears unmarked has been truly painful, distressing to the historian. He rejoices greatly in the fact that he has been able to remove this• stigma and to erect suitable memorials where they were wanting. As an illustration, think of the magnificent Barre granite monument in the necropolis at Emanuel Church, Brickerville. JOHN HENRY ZARTMAN JOHN HENRY ZARTMAN, son of Henry and Elizabeth, married a woman by the name of Barbara, b. 2/5/1780. In the year 1811 they moved from Northumberland Co., Pa., to Percy Co., Ohio. There John Henry purchased a farm which in his will he devised to his wife, Barbara. They bad no children; so after Barbara's death the farm was to become the property of Jacob Sawitze, a young man they had reared, provided Sawitze would properly care for and support Barbara. The will was not dated. It designated Isaac Zartman, father of the writer, as executor, and says: "It is my will that the said Jacob Sawitze shall have my said property after the death of my said wife, as an estate in fee simple to compensate him for supporting my said wife, as aforesaid. It is further my will that the said Jacob shall, after the death of my wife, pay fifty dollars to one Frederick Dupler, whom I raised." Sawitze failed to meet these requirements and did not inherit under tho will. This John Henry under name of Henry Bartman served in the war of 1812 from 9/1/1813 to 3/1/1814. John Henry d.

ALEXANDER ZARTMAN

.Al.ExANDER ZARTMAN, IV, son of Henry, son of Jacob, son of Alexander I, was born 10/27/1786, at Mahanoy, Northumber­ land Co., Pa. He was a blacksmith and former. About the year 1807 hem. Salome Kobel, b. 9/15/1786, at Mahanoy, Pa., a daughter of Frederick Kobel and his wife Sophia Daniel, who was a daughter of Adam and Barbara Daniel. Sophia Daniel was born 4/10/1765, and died 12/14/1847. To Alexander and Salome Zartman were b. nine children, to-wit: 1. Sarah, b. 7/15/1808. 2. Catherine, b. 1810, d. 1812 by accident. 3. Israel, b. 1/0/1812. 4. Isaac, b. 3/4/1814. 5. Joshua, b. 5/10/1816. 6. Henry, b. 8/20/1819. 7. Levi, b. 10/5/1822. 8. Margaret, b. 7/27/1827. 9. Magdalena, b. 1/29/1831.

In the summer of 1811 Alexander Zartman, his wife Salome and two infant daughters, in a Conestoga wagon painted blue and drawn by four horses, moved from Northumberland Co., Pa., through the Keystone commonwealth and out into central Ohio, five miles north of Middletown, later and now called Somerset, birthplace of General Phil H. Sheridan. Brothers John Henry and Samuel Zartman, and cousin Benjamin Zartman and no doubt other relatives accompanied them on this long, tedious and hazardous migration, made in strong form wagons. On this trip they covered a distance of at least 550 miles. Alex­ ander located in Hopewell Twp., two miles southwest of North Perry, later and now called Glenford. His brother John Henry went a mile farther to the southwest. His brother Samuel settled at or near Somerset. Their uncle, Peter Zartman, and family located in Thom Twp., Fairfield Co., about two miles 28 THE ZARTMAN F AJlILY

west from Alexander. Benjamin Zartman, first cousin of Alex­ ander, John Henry and Samuel, continued his journey about 150 miles farther to the southwest and located at Millville, Butler Co., Ohio, arriving there on 11/9/1811. On 5/15/1813 Alexander Zartman purchased 160 acres of land from John Swinehart and wife Christena, of Fairfield Co., Ohio. The land is described as section 19, of township 17, range 16. The consideration was $200.00. In his will grandfather devises the four-horse wagon to his son Levi. The writer as a little boy often played in that wagon-bed with the Uncle Levi boys. John Swinehart bad purchased the land from the U. S. Govern­ ment while James Madison was President. It was upon this farm that Alexander IV and his good wife Salome reared their large family and lived the rest of their days. This land until quite recently remained in continuous possession of Zartmans. Alexander IV was prosperous and got to be a large land owner. On 3/17/1830, he bought half of a quarter section from Lud­ wick Ridenour and bis wife Catharine; consideration, $800.00. On 3/23/1833, he bought an 80-acre farm from Thomas and Elizabeth Cowen; consideration $800.00. On 5/13/1837, he bought a farm from John and Catharine Snyder; consideration $1300.00. On 12/18/1838, be purchased a lot in Somerset, Ohio, at Sheriff's sale for $235.00, on N. Columbus Street. When Alexander IV went to Ohio be first identified himself there with the Lutheran Church, in which he had been brought up, but for reasons which to him seeme.d good and sufficient, he left the Lutheran Church and united with the Reformed Church, of which his wife was a member. Therefore their children were brought up in the Reformed Church. From the lips of some who saw and knew Alexander Zartman IV, we lea.med that he was a.bout five feet eight inches in stature, muscular, very strong, robust and corpulent, weighing con­ siderably more than 200 pounds. He died 12/31/1851. His wife Salome died 4/8/1862. A granddaughter, Miss Rose Zart­ man, late of Columbus, wrote the following about Salome Zartman: "Grandmother was a fine character. She demanded obedience from hl'r grandchildren, which was right. She was courageous. Grandfather got homesick and wanted to go back to Pennsylvania, but she said, 'You can go if you want to, but JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 29

I am going to stay.' I think she was an artist. She had a sampler which we all admired. She could knit mittens with a double, o.nd different colored yams for the grandsons. She knew the value of herbs, of which she bad all sorts in her garden and she would make tea for any who were sick and I do believe she succeeded better along that line than many of our modem doctors." Alexander and Salome Zartman sleep side by side in the church­ yard at St. Paul's Ref'd Church, one mile south from Glenford, where the first national Zartman reunion in America was held on 8/30/1908. The last will and testament of Alexander IV is as follows:

"In the name of the benevolent Father of all, I, Alexander Zartman, of Hopewell Twp., Perry Co., Ohio, do make and pub­ lish this my last will and testament. "Item 1. I give and devise to my beloved wife, Salome, in lieu of her dower the small house now occupied by my son Levi, the half of one-third of all that is raised or produced on the farm on which we now reside in Hopewell Twp., Perry Co., Ohio, and also the following property, viz.: one cow, to be kept on the farm, the copper kettle, one ten-gallon iron kettle, the clock, a cooking stove, not worth· more than twenty dollars, cupboard and all the dishes and knh·es and forks in it; the bureau and all the books and bookcase, a place in the spring house to keel) her milk and other articles which she wishes to keep therein; the loom and all belonging to it; one spinning wheel, a spot in the garden suf­ ficient to supply her wants, the buggy, harness and a horse, bri­ dle and saddle (the horse is to be kept on the farm), fifty bushels of wht'at and five hogs in the pen, two beds and the chairs and table and cooking utensils, the interest of five hundred dollars as long as she lives. ''Item 2. I devise and bequeath to my son Levi, his wife and his heirs, the farm on which I now reside, situate in Hopewell Twp., Perry Co., Ohio, containing 124 acres, for which he is to pay 150 dollars one year after my death to my daughter Sarah and her husband and heirs; two years after my death 150 dollars to my son Israel and his heirs; three years after my death 150 dollars to my son Isaac and his heirs; four years after my death 150 dollars to my son Joshua and his heirs; five years after my 30

death 150 dollars to my son Henry and his heirs; six years after my death 150 dollars to my daughter Margaret, and seven years after my death 150 dollars to my daughter Magdalene. It is fur­ ther my will that my son Levi is to have the four-horse wagon (Conestoga) and all belonging to it, the cider mill and press, and that he is to haul, cut the wood ready for the stove that my wife shall need as long as she lives. "Item 3. I devise and bequeath to my two daughters, Mar­ garet and Magdalene, a tract of land containing 160 acres and with the land each fifty dollars in money. The land is situate in Hardin Co., Ohio, in Range nine, township five; the land shall be equally divided between my two aforesaid daughters by my sons Joshua, Henry and Levi. For their services each shall have ten dollars and the costs for surveying, dividing the land shall be paid from my estate. It is further my will that each of my two daughters aforesaid shall, have each twenty-five dollars in money, and my daughter Magdalene shall have seventy-five dollars for the purpose or' purchasing her house furniture, bed and clothes, etc., and my daughter Margaret shall have ten dollars for the same purpose. "Item 4. I devise and bequeath further ten dollars to the Lutheran minister and ten dollars to the German Reformed min­ ister of St. Paul's Church, Hopewell Twp., Perry Co., Ohio, and twenty dollars for the purpose of the above-named church. "Item 5. It is further my will that the rest of my property shall be brought to public sale, and after it is sold the money is to be divided equally among all my children after my just debts are paid. "Item 6. I do hereby nor:...inate and appoint my sons, Isaac and Israel, executors of this, my last will and testament, hereby authorizing and empowering them to compromise, release and discharge in such manner as they may deem proper, the debts and claims due me. "I do also authorize and empower them to sell all my other property not mentioned in this, my last will and testament, and to pay my just debts, if any, and fully to settle my whole estate. "In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 24th day of July, A. D. 1847.

ALEXANDER ZARTMAN." JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 31

Witnesses: Andrew Smith and Jacob Weimer. Probated 1/10/1852. Item 4 of the foregoing will is unusual and noteworthy. It contains three charitable bequests. That was very rare in those early days and exhibits ·a commendable spirit. It is an example worthy of imitation. When St. Paul's Brick Church was erected Alexander Zartman 4th contributed $90.00 in gold. He was the largest giver. In a letter to Isaac Zartman, dated Lancaster, Fairfield Co., Ohio, 2/7/1865, Philip W. Wagenhals, M. D., writes-"lt is almost useless for me to bring to your recollection bow we used to meet around the bedside of your poor afflicted Father, and listen to his tale of suffering, and with all expressing not only a willingness but a desire to die, and a faith in God such as but few men have. It is now many (14) years since he died, yet I have not forgotten him, and I have said and thought to myself that I should like to die in faith and consciousness as did your Father, Alexander Zartman."

ISAAC ZARTMAN, son of Alexander IV, son of Henry, son of Jacob, son of Alexander I, was b. 3/4/1814. In the English family Bible of Isaac and Rebecca Zartman are recorded the names, births, baptisms and confirmations of their children. These were written by the hand of Isaac Zart­ man as follows: "Isaac Zartman was b. 3/4/1814 in Hopewell township, Perry Co., Ohio, and was baptized the same year by the Rev.

Charles Wesley Hoyman on September 20, 1873." In a foot note was added this line: "All of our children were born in Hopewell township, Perry County, Ohio." Before giving the genealogy and history of the sons and daugh­ ters of Isaac and Rebecca Zartman we record the ancestry of this famous and honored couple:

ANCESTRY OF ISAAC AND REBECCA ZARTMAN COMPILED AND EDITED BY MRS. JOSEPHINE ZARTMAN DIEFENBACH, GRANDDAUGHTER OF ISAAC ZARTMAN Only verified and authentic information has been used. To those who are interested, the study of one's ancestry is like the unrolling of a panorama, or the solving of an intricate JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 33

puzzle. As each piece or date is found there comes a deep satis­ faction in seeing the picture gradually assuming form, and be­ coming more perfect. So to those of us who are descendants of Isaac and Rebecca King Zartman there is not a little satisfaction in knowing that for generation after generation ancient a.nd hon­ orable families have played their parts in our heritage. How all tl.e information was obtained makes a fascinating story, but one which has no place in this History. The earliest date to which we may lay claim, one which came to us through the Institute of American Genealogy, is 443 B. C. when we find our ancestor, Antenor, as King of the Cimn:.erons. Names of shteen generations follow, and we come to Francus, who was King of the Franks when Christ was born. The line is then through twenty-four more generations to Marcomir, who was the last King of the Franks, in 393 A. D. Dates and names are authentic and our connection is made through the marriage of Briand Daniel, who in 1568 married Marguerite Humbert, daughter of Jacques Humbert, direct descendant of Marcomir, and Antenor. In 1420 A.D. in France Amedee Daniel, Lord of Desvres, was born. He married Amelie de Vert, by whom be bad two sons, Jean and Phillipe. Phillipe married Agnetta, daughter of the Count of Bilbao in Spain, and their grandson was Briand, who married Marguerite Humbert. This Daniel line traces directly down through the years to 1626 when Jean Daniel de­ serted the church of his fathers, accepted the Protestant faith, and was driven from his home to Germany. Here he lived as a Huguenot refugee, and it was his grandson, Adam Daniel who came to America where he married Barbara Kleist. Their daughter, Sophia, married Frederick Kobel, and their daughter, Salome, was the mother of Isaac Zartman. An interesting side light in this lino is the fact that Magdalena Daniel Foster, wife of the Rev. Wm. Foster, who, with our great-great-grandfather, John Christian King, founded Zion Church in Perry Co., was a sister to Sophia Daniel [and aunt of Salome Zartman]. Tho Kobel line is anothei- interes•ing story. In 1709 there ar­ rived in New York Jacob Cobell from France, with his wife Anna Maria, and one son. In 1711 Jacob Cobell took an active part in the Canadian Expedition from Huntcrstown, N. Y. He was a member of the Catholic Church, but his wife was evidently a Protestant, for only Protestants could settle in the Schoharie 34 THE ZARTMAN F A.M:ILY

district, and in 1712 a son was baptized by the Lutheran minister, Rev. Kocberthal. In 1727 Jacob Cobell or Kobell was a resident of the Tulpehocken district of Penna., where he died in Aug. 1731, at the age of 49, having been born in 1682. Though he left nine children we have the names of but three sons, Henry, John and Frederick. Frederick the 2nd, son of this Frederick, was the husband of Sophia Daniel, parents of Salome, mother of Isaac Zartman. Serving in the Revolution were Jacob Zartman, son of Alex­ ander the Great, and his son, Jacob, jr., both privates in the Pa. milit;a. In the same militia served, also, Alexander, 2nd, son of Alexander the Great, and brother of Jacob. And with their father, Alexander 2nd, served his three sons, Alexander the 3rd, (known as Sandy), Michael and Emmanuel. Henry Zartman, son of Jacob Zartman, sr., had the distinction of serving on the Committee of Safety, Northumberland Co., Pa., as a representa­ tive from Mahanoy Twp., for a period of three years. Jacob Hauser, father of Elizabeth, wife of Henry Zartman, was also a private in the Pennsylvania Militia. The name of Frederick Kobel, father of Salome, mother of Isaac Zartman, is also found on the roll of revolutionary soldiers. Rebecca King Zartman's family was another interesting study. Her father, Peter King, with his four brothers Christian, George, Philip and Jacob, as well as their brother-in-law, Adam Spohn, all fought in the Ohio militia during the War of 1812. Peter King and several of his brothers were assigned to the army directly under Gen. Wm. Henry Harrison at Sandusky, 0. Peter King was the son of John Christian King and his wife Ann Catherine Baum King, who came to America from Wittenberg, Germany, landing in Philadelphia on Sept. 27th, 1786, and taking the oath of allegiance to his new country the following day. With them they brought their four children, John, Peter, Christian, and a daughter, Marillas. This family Jived for 20 years in Rocking­ ham Co., Va. and moved to Ohio in 1802. John Christian King was a fine scholar, splendid singer, and a teacher of the German language. With Rev. Wm. Foster (husband of Magdalena Dan­ iels) he organized the Zion Reformrd-Lutheran Church in 1806. John Christian l{ing attended the first meeting of the Ohio Synod of the Reformed Church in tho U. S. as a delegate elder. JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 35

On Sept. let, 1812, Peter King m. Mary Magdalen!! Whitmer or Witmer, of Reading ~wp. Perry Co., 0. She was the daughter of Peter Whitmer, 2nd, and Mary Magdalene Overmeyer. Mary Magdalene Overmeyer was the daughter of Capt. John George Overmeyer born in Baden in 1727, eon of John George Overmeyer, sr., who was b. in Bavaria in 1680, and his wife, Ann Bane. John George Overmeyer, jr., arrived in America in 1751, at once took the Oath of Allegiance and entered into his duties as a citizen of the United States. He was twice married, both times the offici­ ating clergyman being John Caspar Steever, probably the best known early Protestant minister of Pennsylvania. The second marriage of John George Overmeyer was performed at Hanover, Pa., where he married Anna Barbara Vogt, born in 1741, one of the five children of Jonas Vogt. Her only brother, Michael, is the ancestor of the various branches of the Vogt family whose members arc so vitally connected with the Zartman family in Ohio. Jonna Vogt died in Northumberland Co. Pa., in 1790; Jonas Vogt was born in Basil, Switzerland and came to the United States in Aug. 1751. John George Overmeyer not only served on the Committee of Safety of Northumberland Co., Pa., for a number of years but he acted in many appointive and elective offices of his county. As early as 1777 he was already made a captain in the U. S. Army, and on his farm, not far from Selinsgrove, Pa., he built a block house to which the settlers fled for refuge from the Indian attacks on many occasions. It was here that Anna Barbara Vogt Over­ meyer distinguished herself by caring for sick and wounded soldiers and neighbors while her husband was away in the army of the great General George Washington, serving with him at the sieges of the New Jersey tciwns, and the terrible winter of 1777 at Valley Forge [where they nearly perished from cold and hunger]. At the close of the war Gen. Washington asked Capt. Overmeyer to return to his farm and block house to help protect the countryside from Indian raids and here, again, he disting­ uished himself as soldier and citizen. He died in 1805 and was buried in the family plot on his farm. It has been mistakenly recorded that his wife, who lived some years after his death, came to Ohio and is buried there. She is buried beside her husband in the family plot, which is west of Selinsgrove, in the shadow of Bald Eagle Mt. 36 TSE ZARTMAN F AllILy

Peter Whitmer, 2nd, father of Mary Magdalene Whitmer King, was bom in Northumberland Co., Pa., in 1760, son of Peter Whit­ mer, sr., who was born in 1737 in Hertzheim, Germany, and came to the U.S. in 1747, in turn, was the son of Peter Whitmer, the elder, who came from Germany to Lancaster Co., Pa. some years after the arrival of his son. Peter Whitmer, sr., served as a matross in the Pa. lines during the Revolution while the son, Peter 2nd, served three years as a private. He later was made an ensign, and served as late as 1796. In 1801 Peter and Mary Mag­ dalene Whitmer, with her brother, started from Northumber­ land Co., Pa., for Ohio. All went well until they attempted to cross the Ohio River at Wheeling. Here the ferry boat tipped, furniture and treasures were swept into the angry waters, and the horses alone were saved. Both families lived in Belmont Co. Ohio, for several years, but in 1803 they proceeded to Perry Co. where they located on /arms in Reading Twp. Descendants of the Whitmer and Overmeyer families became some of the most prominent citizens of the county, taking an active part in church affairs and civic matters. Children of Peter King and his wife Mary Magdaline Whitmer were: 1. Salome, who m. Michael Kotterman. Both are buried at Upper Sandusky, Ohio, where they lived. 2. Anne Catherine, who m. John Smith, lived and died near Glenford; both are buried in the St. Paul's cemetery. 3. Rebecca, who married Isaac Zartman; both are buried in St. Paul's cemetery. 4. Lydia, m. Michael Foucht (Vogt); buried at Washington Chapel, near Fremont, Ohio. 5. Susannah, m. Samuel Wiseman; both buried at Eaton, Delaware Co., Ohio. 6.

On the farm on which he was born and reared Isaac Zartman, father of the historian, lived his whole long, useful life of 87 years and 1 day. As a boy he got very little schooling; he had to work on the farm and there were no free public schools. He used to say that when be was 15 years old he went to school three days, and then he was a graduate. But he read and studied a great deal privately, and took some night schooling even after be had children, in order to fit himself better for life's duties and op­ portunities. He had high aspirations. Before he had reached bis majority he had learned the carpenters and cabinetmakers trades. In 1834 he and several other young men of his acquaintance made a trip west on horseback to select a place where they might make their fortunes; they rode through Ohio, northern Indiana and Il1inois, up on the west shore of Lake Michigan, and as far north as Fox River; then they came back to a town of about 500 inhabitants, called Chicago; there much building was going on, which appealed to Isaac Za!,'tman, because he had just ac­ quired his carpenter's trade; he resolved to locate there; but he had a girl, Rebecca King, back in Ohio that he must return to see and get her consent to go with him to that Indian town of Chicago. So he returned to Ohio and asked Rebecca King to marry him and go with him to Chicago. She agreed to marry him, but not to go out there among the Indians and into the swamp of Lake Michigan. Perhaps it was just as well or better for them and their children and children's children. At any rate on 6/25/1835, Isaac Zartman and Rebecca King, born 5/21/1816 daughter of Peter and Mary Magdalene King, were united in marriage by Rev. Charles Henkel. Both had been confirmed at 38 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

the age of 16 years as members of the Zion Reformed Church, Thom Twp. Later they transferred their membership to St. Paul's Reformed Church in Hopewell Twp., and there they re­ mained earnest faithful members until death. Their total mem­ bership was 143 years, mother 72 years and father 71 years, mak­ ing 143. In St. Paul's their nine children were baptized, cate­ chised, and confirmed. They began housekeeping in a log cabin on Pleasant Hill, on a quarter section of land sold to them by Alexander Zartman IV, Isaac's father. Later they were able to buy more to it until they had a farm of more than 200 acres. Here on Pleasant Hill they lived together in happy wedded life 65 years 8 months and 10 days. They celebrated their golden wedding, and their 55th, 60th and 65th marriage anniversaries. All of the buildings on the farm-the large frame house, the bank barn, wagon shed, shop, carriage house, cider press, smoke house, spring house, corn crib, wood house and bake oven-were designed and con­ structed by Isaac Zartman., He was a farmer and chiefly a grower of fruit. He had extensive orchards of peach, apple, cherry, plum and pear trees, and a vineyard. No choicer, finer fruits were ever grown than by him; with him fruit culture was a science, and he gave lectures on the subject which are in print. Because of his fame in fruit growing the Governor of Ohio offered to appoint him Superintendent of the State Farm located near Lancaster, Ohio. It was an alluring offer. Accompanied by a dozen trustworthy friends he visited the Farm, carefully and critically examined it. The trained blue eyes of the inspector at once observed that all of the peach trees had the "yellows," caused by the deadly borer, and could not be revived; he remarked, "In three years these trees will all be dead, and the farmer would be blamed for the loss." The offer of the Governor was declined with thanks. We, the sons, were disappointed, but the wise, good mother thanked God for our father's judicious decision. Isaac Zartman, Esq., was a servant of the public. For 17 years be was a school director, for 24 years township treasurer, for 54 years Justice of the Peace; he settled up 17 different estates; he wrote the wills, deeds and mortgages for everybody in the com­ munity; his counsel was continually sought by friends and neigh­ bors. He had a turnkey with which he extracted the teeth of people far and near before the days of dentists in that section. J~AAC AXI> UERECCA ZAll'l'MAX (1814-1001) (18Hi-lllll-l)

JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 30

As a citizen he took the most 11Ctive interest in civic affairs and was always looked upon as a leader. When a young man his ardent love of music caused him to study and to master the gamut. He possessed a magnificent baritone voice which enabled him to be a fine musical director. For forty or more years he led the singing in church anq. Sunday school, and for 35 years be taught singing classes in churches and school houses; first he taught the buckwheat notes, and then the round notes. The church he served in the offices of deacon, elder, trustee, clerk, liberal supporter and unfailing attendant; the Sunday School he never missed; he led its singing, and for half a century taught a men's Bible class. Among Inst tributes paid to him by ministers, relatives, neigh­ bors and lifelong friends were the following: "His Christian life was earnest, sincere and useful," "always gave liberally and cheerfully for the work of the Church," "pub­ lic-spirited and most helpful to the community," ''kind and de­ voted in the home, a faithful husband and an affectionate father," "pious, godly and prayerful," ''kind and hospitable," "be may be likened unto a grand old patriarch," "kind and considerate," "a stalwart disciple of Christ," "a Christian father at the bead of a Christian household," "he had the pre-eminent quality of goodness," "he threw the full weight of his influence on the side of right, of virtue and uprightness," "I know of no man in pri­ vate life who has labored so faithfully, successfully and so un­ selfishly for the church, for the community or for the world at large," "I regarded him as a superior man; none was more loyal to his church; more faithful in attendance upon pub'.ic worship, nor more inspiring ancl encouraging to a pastor. I always found him with clear-cut convictions of right and duty and ready to live by what he believed," "to know him was to love him," "vol­ umes could be written on such a beautiful, useful and influential life, and then the half would not be told," "God has called home one of the great and good of earth," "he lived a blessed life, he dit'd a glorious death, and now be rests," "for father Zartman to die is gain; we will meet him in heaven." On the day of his death he signed his name ton legal document; here is the copy of it: 40 THE ZARTMAN FilULY

Words and sentiments equally beautiful could be written of Rebecca, wife of Isaac Zartman. Her strong character did much in every way for the life and character of her husband and house­ hold. After an illness of about ten minutes Isaac Zartman died, 3/5/1901. His last utterance was in German, "lch gehe in die ewiokeit"-I am entering eternity. His funeral texts were: John 16:32, and Psalm 37:37. Rebecca Zartman died July 28, 1904, aged 88 years, 2 months and 7 days. Her funeral texts were: Job 5:26 and Rev. 2: 10. One of her last utterances was, "Surely we shall all meet in heaven." Her funeral was on Saturday 7/30/1904. These servants of the Lord sleep aide by side in St. Paul's church­ yard, Glenford, Ohio, where more Zartmane are buried than any­ where else in the State of Ohio.

tired, apparently in her usual health, fell asleep, and in about hall an hour she ceased to breathe.

I am coaching Athletics too." ~ Earl Bernard :J14echling graduated from Glenford High School in 1934; is with the army at Fort Knox, Ky. Ralph Edwin Mechling graduated from Glenford High School in 1936; is with the U.S. Army near San Antonio, Tex. Solomon King Zartman, oldest son and second child of Isaac and Rebecca Zartman, was b. 3/3/1839, on the PleBl!ant Hill Farm, •near Glenford, Ohio. At the age of fifteen he was con­ firmed a member of the Reformed Church by his great-unc!e, Rev. Henry King. He m. 12/30/1862 Malinda Foucht (Vogt), daughter of Christian Foucht of near Upper Sandusky, Ohio. She was a sister of Jacob W. Vogt, and they were descend­ ants of Michel Vogt, brother of Anna Barbara Vogt who married John George Overmyer and was the great-grandmother of Rebecca King Zartman. Together Solomon and Malinda established a Christian home across the road from his father's residence and here the twins, Parley Emmett and Pressley Elmer, and the oldest daup;hter, Myrta Gladys, were born. During the years in this home the husband taught school for twelve winters and in the summer time farmed. He also taught what was then known as "geog­ raphy school" in various districts of Perry County. In those schools geography was sung from maps and exceedingly inter­ esting and impressive. JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY . 45

In 1875 the family moved to Thornville, Ohio, where the father was successively merchant, postmaster and mayor, and also served as a notary public. In this home the youngest child, Nellie Zephyr, was born. In the summer of 1888 the son Pressley went to Dayton and at his urgent insistence, in October of that year, the family came to make their home in· that city. Soon after Solomon entered the employ of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and for twenty years was one of their most successful solicitors. In Sept. 1909 he was retired on pension by this company. Not wishing to be idle, however, he took a position as operator of the elevator in the Christian Publishing Association building, serving in that place until within 48 hours of his death. He passed away in the late afternoon of Saturday, 3/15/1919, aged eighty years and twelve days. On his eightieth birthday nieces and nephews, bis brother Allen and wife and his sister Maggie, as well as his own children and grandchildren attended a delightful birthday celebration at the home of his daughter, Myrta Dorfmeier. Many gifts and affectionate greetings made felicitous this last birthday. Rev. Dr. J. F. Burnett eulogized Solomon King Zartman as follows: "I have come to express my personal appreciation of the life we a!l so deeply mourn, and to bear public testimony to the value of the life he lived, and the service he rendered; and I feel auth­ orized to say that the tribute I pay to-dlly to the deceased is shared by all those whose privilege it WIIS to know him in the capacity of an employee in the Christian Publishing Association building. "I knew him under the common conditions of daily toil, and saw him only as he really lived his life. He was not in his old age reduced to the level of dai'y toil, ·but he elevated daily toil to the plane of a high-toned Christian gentleman, and, were titles to be conferred to-day, it would be perfectly proper, and wholly just, to write on the crown of his earthly achievement 'the Grand Old Man of the Daily Grind.' To him a day's work was not merely the completing of a task; not merely the putting in of so many hours in the ensiest way; not merely meeting the terms of the contract; it was the dignifying of the common task. In his conception of life, one man was the greatest thing in the world, 46 THE ZARTMAN F AMJLY if that one man be true to himself, and to those he served. To him, greatness was not the doing of a few great things, but the doing of many little things in a great way. The doing of a com­ mon task in an uncommon way is the most enviable achievement of the toiler in any line or profession of service. In all his daily rounds of service he felt the companionship of him who made ox­ yokes in Joseph's carpenter shop, and to whom the common task is dearer than the refined, exclusive evolvement of culture. In the estimation of the toiler of Naz11reth, the things that are com­ mon to all men are better than the thing$ that are pecu:iar to the few. ''There was one element of his life which I greatly appreciated, though so delicate as to be scarcely discernible, was nevertheless quite definite and pronounced. Down deep in his being was a quiet vein of humor. It was not a torrent, not even a current, and yet from out that quiet vein of humor would flash at times a gem of rarest brilliancy-a glittering jewel of intellectual setting, worthy a p!ace in the best expression of wit, and though diamond­ like in sharpness, it was never used with which to cut the heart of his fellows."

The following tribute, written by Dr. J. F. Burnett of the Christian Publishing Association, was published in the "Christian World" in honor of Solomon K. Zartman: "His faithfulness to the common task; his consideration of the rights of others; his kindly attention to the convenience of those he served; his pleasant greeting, alike to all; his willingness to oblige even at his own disadvantage; the influence of his char­ acter, made strong by faith in Jesus Christ; his patient waiting in service; his genuine appreciation of the smallest consideration; his true gratitude for favors shown him, and occasionally a bright . reminiscence of the past, were some of the daily blessings which came to men and women through his life and service. I cannot content myself to close this brief testimony to the worth of the deceased without calling attention to his large contribution to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. This humble man, this man who lived his life in its humble way, contributed to the Kingdom of God two ambassadors of the Cross-Rev. Pressley E. and Rev. Parley E. Zartman-so that he, being dead, yet speaketh." JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY. 47

For many years "Uncle SoJlie" taught a large Sunday School class in the Trinity Reformed Church, Dayton, Ohio. He served the same congregation as elder for some time and both he and his wife were faithful members of the church. He and his wife are both buried in Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio. Parley Emmett Zartman, one of the twin sons of Solomon and Mnlindn Zartman, was b. 2/19/1865 on a farm near Pleasant Hill, lived at Thornville and graduated from the High School of that place. In 1889 he graduated from Heidelberg College with the degree of A. B., and in 1892 from the Heidelberg Theo­ logical Seminary. In May 1892 be was licensed to preach by Tiffin Classis and on 8/16/1892, he was ordained by Lincoln Classis in Sioux City, where he was pastor of the Reformed Church until Aug. 1895. He then became secretary of the Y.M.C.A. of that city and served until 1898. From 1898 to 1900 he was pastor of the Reformed Church of Three Rivers, Mich. From Sept. 1900 to Oct. 1902 he was pastor of Bethel Reformed Church of Phil­ adelphia, leaving to become Assistant Secretary and Treasurer of the Evangelistic Committee of the Presbyterian Church under which committee he served for many years, residing most of the time at Winona Lake, Ind., where he recently became pastor of the Presbyterian Church. While attending the International Christian Endeavor Con­ vention in Boston, Mass., he met Effie Kathleen Stevenson, whom he m. 6/25/1897 at Independence, Ia. Kathleen was born at Littleton, Iowa, 11/13/1871, and died at the Presby­ terian Hospital in Chicago on 12/5/1921. After attending the Kindergarten Training School at La.Porte, Ind., she taught for five years in the schools of lndependence, .Ia. In every art of life Kathleen was accomplished; teaching, home making, needle­ work, there seemed to be nothing she could not do. The social graces were hers also, and her friends among high and low were numberless. She was active in all phases of church life, served as president of the Winona Missionary Society and of the Winona Women's Club. She was for a number of years at the head of the Department of Young People's work of the Presbyterian Synod of Indiana. Her influence for good was felt everywhere. A daughter, Rebecca, was b. and d. on 10/9/1911. Both she and I{athleen are buried in Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio. The Degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Muskingum College. 48 THE ZARTIL\N F AMILy

In March 194_0 in Indianapolis, Parley E. Zartman and Mrs. Mabel Houser, widow, of Winona Lake, were married by Rev. Harley Overdeer, a brother-in-law of the groom. The bride and groom had known each other 35 years, and both are highly es­ teemed and greatly beloved. Pressley Elmer Zartman, one of the twin sons of Solomon !{. and Malinda Vogt Zartman, was b. 2/19/1865, on his father's farm on Pleasant Hill. He spent his boyhood on the farm, then with his parents in Thornville, Ohio. He worked for a few months in a printing office in Goeben, Ind., then in 1888 went to Dayton, Ohio, where he was connected with the Christian World Com­ pany of the Reformed Church. For nearly a quarter of a century be was in the offices of the Christian Publishing Association of Dayton. When a lad he was catechised and confirmed in the Reformed Church and for many years he was a most earnest and active member of Trinity Reformed Church of Dayton, Ohio. While engaged in his work with the Christian Church he became inter­ ested in a local missionary venture of that denomination and be­ gan teaching a Sunday School class which he later organized into an active congregation. Quoting from Llie obituary written at his death, 8/19/1923, Dr. Burnett says: "His strength of purpose and executive ability wns remarkable for he accomr!isbed this good work while faithfully and efficiently performing bis duties for the publishing company. His abi:ity as a speaker was unusual and Wa!nut HiJs Church of which he was pastor for many years is a silent tribute to his great ability as an organizer. He was pastor of Shiloh Springs Church, Dayton, Ohio for a year and retired from that pastorat.e (not the ministry) that he might 1,?ive his time to the work as vice president of the American Insurance Union." Press had splendid musical talent. He was an acceptable solo singer and an excellent player of the cornet. He came to be called the "Printer Preacher." Press WIU! the first of the Isaac Zartman family to locate in Dayton, which be did in 1888; in the same year be prevailed upon his parents to move there from Thornville. On 11/28/1894 Press was married to Miss Lizzie Etta Kiefer, a resident of Dayton, Ohio, and an active member of Trinity Re­ formed Church. During the years of his pastorate at Walnut Hills, Mrs. Zartman was an able assistant in the work of the JACOB ZARTHAN AND FAJULY 49 church. She is living in Dayton at 1911 Malvern Ave. They had two daughters: Florence Maude, b. 1/18/1897; and Margarette Elizabeth, b. 7/10/1899. On 7/26/1916 Florence m. Homer E. Mount, b. 6/14/1894. Their son is Robert Zartman, b. 4/27/1918. The Mounts reside at Spring Valley, Ohio. Robert has graduated from High School and is working on their. farm. His father is in the employ of the National Cash Register Co. Margarette E. Zartman on 6/15/1921 m. Ross S. Bryan, b. 11/13/1882. To them were born three sons and a daughter: William Elmer, b. 5/4/1922; Ross, Jr., b. 8/3/1923; Charles Al­ lan, b. 12/1/1929; and Mary Louise, b. 2/22/1932. On 3/3/1932, when Mary Louise was 10 days old, her mother Margarette de­ parted to the "Father's House of Many Mansions." The father and children reside near Dayton on Route 7. In June 1940 the son Wm. Elmer, graduated from High School and in May 1941 Ross, Jr. graduated. Rev. Press Zartman died on 8/19/1923. His death resulted from a carbuncle that vitiated bis blood. His body was interred in the cemetery of the Shiloh Springs Church. Sometime before bis death the following poem appeared in the official paper of the Christian Church. We quote it because of its fine tribute to "Press."

A SPLENDID TRIBUTE He's my friend, and he's my brother, For favors needed, I ask no other; For in a spirit most sublime He'll help a fellow every time. He can write a book, and print a page, And talk as wisely as a sage; Can teach a class and lead a choir, Can play a harp and strum a lyre; He can preach and be can sing, Indeed, can do most anything; He can frown, and smile some, too, He keeps his friends from feeling blue; A story he can tell quite well, Can work and talk, and joke a spell; He dresses neatly and in style, 50 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

And feels his keeping all the while; But never in the least degree, Says, "You are not as good as me." His people say his preaching's great A fact I'm happy to relate; For in this day of great pretension The "preaching" gets but slight attention; Should one be slipping down the hill, Hounded by hate, and treated ill, He'll do his best to help one through And to that one's life be sound and true. But I've overstepped my space, I see, His name is Zartman, Pressley E. -Jcdekiah.

Myrta Gladys Zartman, the older daughter of Solomon K. and Malinda Vogt Zartman, was b. 11/30/1870, on the farm which her father owned, on Pleasant Hill. She attended grade schools and the High School at Thornville, where her parents had moved. She moved to Dayton, Ohio, in Oct. 1888 with her parents. There on 9/3/1900 she was married to William F. Dorf­ meier, b. 4/2/1860. Mr. Dorfmeier was for many years an expert book-binder, later was employed in the shipping department of the Rike Kumler Dry Goods Co. He and his wife were both members of the Central Reformed Church, and Mrs. Dorfmeier was active in the various women's organizations of her church and in several civic organizations. Their son, Virgil Zartman Dorfmeier, was born in Dayton, Ohio 7/24/1891. He graduated from the Steele High School of Dayton in 1909, and from the Arts Department of Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, in June 1913. Three years later he graduated from the Law School of the same University. On the day the United States declared war against Germany Virgil en­ listed for Army service in the Infantry. He was stationed for short times at Fort Benjamin Harrison and Camp Funston and on 6/4/1918, left in the 353rd Regiment for France with the Am­ erican Expeditionary Forces. Following the signing of the Arm­ istice be was with the Army of Occupation in Germany until May 1919. He was 1st Lieutenant, and served during the major engagements in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne, two of the JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 51

most deadly battles of the entire war, acquitting himself with highest honors and showing splendid courage. He was honorably discharged from the army at Cs.mp Sherman on 5/30/1919. Returning to Dayton he opened a law office, and took up bis work where be had laid it down to serve so splendidly at his country's call. On 6/12/1924, Virgil m. Ruth Naomi Dean of Middletown, Md. The ceremony was performed by Ruth's brother, the Rev. O:;car Dean, a Lutheran minister. Ruth was b. in Middletown, 11/14/1891; she graduated from the Middletown High School, attended Hood College at Frederick, Md., and did some work in special courses in Columbia University in New York City; and taught school in Maryland for several years. Virgil and Ruth Dorfmeier have two children: William Dean, b. 7/28/1925; and Joan Ruth, b. 10/17/1926, both are in High School. They reside at 960 Manhattan Ave., Dayton, Ohio. Mrs. Wm. F. Dorfmeier passed away on 3/24/1935 in Dayton, Ohio. Her body was interred in Woodland Cemetery. Mr. Dorf­ meier is at home with his son Virgil. Nellie Zephyr Zartman, younger daughter of Solomon K. and Malinda Vogt Zartman, was b. in Thornville, Ohio on 8/6/1877, where she attended grade school, until her parents re­ moving to Dayton, Ohio, she attended the Dayton schools, and for a number of yea.rs worked with her brother Pressley at the Christian Publishing Association. Following the death of her mother she and her father lived together, each continuing their work, and after his death Nellie spent some time with her sister, Mrs. Dorfmcier.

Her patemal grandfather Alexan­ der Zartman and wife came to Ohio in 1811 and located on the farm where Sarah was born. Sarah was bapt. 4/11/1841, in St. Paul's Reformed Church near Glenford, by Rev. Christian Spielman, and confirmed in the same church in 1855, by her great uncle, Rev. Henry l{ing. She taught several terms of school, and for some years lived in the home of her uncle George and Aunt "Sallie" Mechling, helping with the housework. 52 THE ZART.\L\N FAYILY

Being asked by the historian to write the story of his mother's life, her son Alpheus says: "I have found that this must be more than a story, it must be a filial tribute. Also, I find it impossible to pay any adequate tribute to my mother without including my father, who for almost thirty-five years was a loved and respected member of the Isaac Zartman family. "My father, Noah Swinehart, b. 4/3/1841, was the son of Samuel and Margaret Swinehart. Een:uel was the son of George Swinehart and his · wife Ann Catherine .Zartman Swinehart, daughter of Peter .Zartman. "My parents were born and reared within one and one-half miles of each other, my father's hon:e teing in the 'Clouse School District,' No. 7, while that of mother was in the 'Smith Schoo'. District,' No. 4. Our parents were brought up to faithful, honest toil on the farm, the boys and girls often working in the fields, but the girls were first of all trained to be good house­ keepers. Father and mother studied Geography and Grammar in addition to the Three R's. Not only spelling schools but Geography schools and singing schools brought the young people of various districts together. "My father also studied algebra and during the winter of 1861-62 attended Prof. Nourse's Normal School in Somerset, in preparation for teaching. Instead, he volunteered for service in the United States Army and served in the 126th Ohio Volun­ teer Infantry from Aug. 1862 to the close of the Civil War. His diary tells much of those years of toil, conflict and danger. In my father's regiment were also Grandma Zartman's brother, Frank King, and my mother's cousins, Peter Smith and Alfred Zartman. Father was shot through the left hand in the Battle of the Wilderness 5/6/1864, but was spared other bodily harm. He was honorably discharged at Columbus, Ohio, 7/1/1865. On 10/3/1865, father and mother were married by Rev. Chas. W. Hoyman. Early the next spring they began housekeeping in a log cabin on a farm then belonging to his father, Samuel Swinehart. Year after year tho land was cleared of trees and stumps, and in the fall of 1868 father bought the farm of 83 acres from his father at the rather high price of $50.00 per aero. On this farm he erected a substantial six-room house, large JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAl\lILY 53 barn and all other buildings. The next 15 years were a period of hard labor and struggle for them. Here their six children were born: Alpheus Otto, b. 7/24/1869; Delilah Florence, b. 3/31/1871; Mary Olive, b. 10/2/1872; Huldah Rebecca, b. 5/5/1874; Cyrus Bercelius, b. 8/27/1878; Dorsey Meade, b. 5/2/1882. Probably owing to exposure during the years in the war, father suffered with rheumatism and catarrhal trouble, and because of this and the fact that better schools were de­ sired, the farm was sold, and with Uncle Will Parks' father bought a hardware store in Somerset. How bravely and loyally father and mother cooperated in making a good living and rearing their children, it would require pages to narrate. ''Our parents were both devoted to their church. Both were baptized, reared and confirmed in the old Lutheran and Re­ formed St. Paul's congregations, near Glenford. Father taught the men's Bible class at St. Paul's church, and later the adult class in Somerset, where he also served as a church officer. Mother was a member of the Reformed church and enjoyed the various activities of her church. As in religion, in education and music their interests were always maintained. Both our parents loved to sing, especially the hymns of the church. Mother's voice, singing 'Nellie Gray,' 'The Song of the Mock­ ing Bird' and the fine hymns, still rings in my ears as a blessed memory. Father was a country school director, a trustee of Hopewell Twp., and in Somerset served for several years on the Village Council and School Bfard, he also was Treasurer and Director of the Somerset Fair Board. "Father and mother always manifested a close interest in the joys and sorrows, welfare and misfortune of all members of their respective families. Mother, especially had a remarkable memory for birthdays and all manner of happenings in all the respective households, both nearby and farther away. She, like Grandma Zartman, always kept and cared for her plants and flowers, both outdoors and in the house. One year she wrote mo that she had exhibited fifty-two kinds of chrysanthemums at the Somerset Fair. "Father's sudden death, caused by a cerebral hemorrhage, occurred 3/1/1900 in Somerset, after which mother and my sister Lilah lived in the home until 1029. Aft.er an illness of only one day, mother passed away on 10/28/1929. Funeral sen·ico11 54 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY were held at the Reformed church, conducted by her pastor, Rev. M. P. Schoepfle; Text: II Timothy, 4-7 & 8. Both are buried in the Somerset cemetery. "Father and mother both bated falsehood, both loved and respected sincerity wherever they found it, among rich and poor, high and low; their circle among worth while people was ever widening, they were loved, trusted and respected by all."

Alpbeus Otto Swinehart was born in Hopewell Twp., Perry Co., attended the Clouse school 8 years, and for two of these years his Uncle Will Parks was his teacher. At the age of 15 he entered Somerset High School. In September 1886, he entered Capital University, Columbus, Ohio, where he graduated in 1890, second in a class of 13, seven of whom were ministers' sons. During his senior year he was editor of the college paper. Entering the Seminary at Capital University he became pr~ ficient in the German language, which was invaluable in his ministerial work. He completed the Seminary work in 1893, and was ordained in St. Paul's Church in Somerset. During the summer of 1891, he preached in missions in Washington Co., Kan., and upon the completion of his Seminary course, he accepted a call to become the pastor of these churches in Kansas. From there he was called to Immanuel Lutheran church in N cw Orleans, La. On 9/22/1898 hem. Rosina Keck, b. 8/29/1875, in Baltimore, Md., daughter of Wolfgang Frederick and Elizabeth Keck. Her education was obtained in the parochial and public schools of Baltimore and she was confirmed in St. Peter's Lutheran church, Baltimore, in 1892. At the time of her marriage she was living with an uncle and aunt in Cedar Bluffs, Neb. Tho moist climate of New Orleans did not agree with the health of Rosina and Luther, and Alpheus accepted a call to the German Graco Lutheran church of Fort Wayno, Ind., and in Oct. 1902 he accepted a call to Attica, Ohio. In 1905 he became pastor of three English congregations near and in Tescott, Kan., remaining there until Sept. 1914, and for three years during that time he was also President of the Kansas-Nebraska District of the Lutheran church. In 1914 he was cnlled to Spokane College, Spokane, Wash., where he taught English, German, Mathematics, History and Religion. In 1017 ho REv.

Of this time she writes:" "It was while I was attending Miami Jacobs that Dayton was visited with the disastrous 'Dayton Flood' [1/25/1913]. At that time sister Mary and I were living with Aunt Maggie Vogt at 407 Oxford Ave. and fortunately had not gone to the city that morning. The entire city was soon with­ out electric power, gas, telephones, no water under pressure, cooking was done on all kinds of improvised stoves. Aunt Mag­ gie, as well as all who were out of the flooded area, soon had her home filled with refugees. We, with thousands of others, made daily trips to re'.ief stations, standing in the 'bread line' getting food and supplies, according to the number in our homes. When the water subsided sufficiently Uncle Sollie, Aunt Malinda and Nellie Zartman, the Dorfmeier family, Will, Myrta and Virgil, came t.o Aunt Maggie's and remained thP.re until their homes were again ready for occupancy. "Uncle Sollie at that time lived on Jones Street, and I made a number of trips there with him and helped him to dig out of the mud (and it was mud). The cars were running only part way, the other distance we walked, taking our lunch with us, and if we needed any tools, had to carry them along. I remember walk­ ing up Main Street, from Fifth St. to Monument Ave., dragging a shovel after me." Since completing her business course, Huldah has occupied several responsible positions as bookkeeper, stenographer and secretary in well known Dayton firms. Since 1928 she has been employed as secretary and bookkeeeper for John H. Otto,Home Builder and Realtor, with offices in the Reibold Bldg. After going to Dayton Mary and Huldah lived with their Aunt Maggie Vogt for a number of years, first on Bond St., and follow­ ing Uncle's death, they lived in· the home on Oxford Ave. until their aunt's health began to fail. For 13 years they lived in the Bellevue Apts., but with the death of their mother, and the re­ moval to Dayton of their sister Lilah, they moved to Dayton View. Huldah was confirmed in St. Paul's Church in Somerset, and transferred her membership to Hope Lutheran church in Dayton, where she has taken an active part in church work, especially in the Sunday School, where for many years she was a teacher, in the Women's Missionary Society, being one of the organizers of this department, and she also helped to organize the Junior JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 61

When be was 5½ years of age his family moved to Somerset and there in Sept. 1884, he started to school. He him­ self has verified the fact that for three months after this "start" he ran back home each time after his sisters took him to the school house, and consequently received many switchings, until as a final inducement his father promised him a rubber ball for Christ­ mas, which proved to be the incentive for regularly attending school. Grade school was followed by High School, from which he graduated in 1897. During his later school years and following he worked in his father's hardware store, until 1900, for several years he worked on a farm, then owned by the family, and ·in 1906 again entered the hardware business, in the employ of Mr. C. E. Love, where he was at the head of the plumbing department. Here he remained until 1919 when he was appointed Rural Mail Carrier out of Somerset which position he faithfully filled until the time o{ his death. In this position he was energetic and painstaking, and in all these years not one complaint was made against him or his work. He was a real friend to all his patrons. On 9/8/1905 he enlisted in the Somerset Company of the Ohio National Guard, and after serving eight months as private was elected Second Lieutenant of Infantry. In 1910 he was promoted to First Lieutenant, and on 11/17/1911 was commissioned as Captain, and this Commission he held until tho Company was mustered out, 6/15/1916. On 4/22/1915 he m.

They went to housol,eeping in a new home built just next door to "Aunt Sarah's," and here a cordial welcome always awaitrd relatives and friends. Cyrus was kind, considerate, of a jovial disposition, greatly beloved by all the relatives and a host of friends. A letter from him contains two statements: "Let me give a bit of advice to my younger boy cousins: Boys, learn a trade or take up a profession 62 THE ZARTMAN F illILY

of some kind. A trade or profession, once mastered, can never be taken from you." "Happy, though married eighteen years, the lat.ch string to our home in Somerset is always out to our friends and especially to the Zartman freundschaft." He was confirmed in St. Paul's Lutheran Church at Somerset., by Rev. E. A. Young, and in this church he and his wife have been faithful, active members, occupying positions of responsibility and trust, both in the Sunday School and church. After an illness of less than a month, Cyrus passed away on Saturday morning, 2/24/1940 at his home in Somerset. He had a serious heart lesion, which caused his unt.imely death. Funeral services were held on Tuesday p. m. 2/27/1940 in St. Paul's church, in charge of his pastor, Rev. Orville Doeskin, and at­ tended by a host of relatives and friends from many parts of the county and state. Interment in the Somerset cemetery. A friend in Somerset who had known Cyrus from his infancy wrote saying: "l was always glad to meet Cyrus, he was so pleas­ ant. His jolly disposition made him many friends, and we will all miss him, especially will he be missed in his church, where he was always in his place. He was held in high regard, nice to every one, regardless of creed." Dorsey M.

place on a aide saddle supported by a speedy steed. Like other girls of her time she was visited by beaux until all but one had been mittcned. Then on 11/29/1868 wedding bells again rang on Pleasant Hill, and in the evening of the above date in St. Paul's Church near Glenford, Ohio, she was married to Benjamin Als­ pach of Thornville, Thorn Twp., Ohio. Benjamin Alspach b. 1/6/- 1847 was the son of Jesse, son of Sebastian Alspach. The cere­ mony was performed by Rev. Charles Wesley Hoyman, the pastor of both bride and groom. It was the first church wedding to take place in dear St. Paul's and the house was well filled with relatives and friends fr,..,m far and near. And Oh, the sumptuous wedding supper which followed on Pleasant Hill! It was a feast fit for a King. Well, the writer's mother was a King! On the next day at the home of the groom's widowed mother was held a celebration called an infair, the parent of what now is dignified as a wedding reception; it brought together again the families of bride and groom in happy festal association filled with con­ gratulations and best wishes for the welfare and happiness of the newly-weds. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Alspach began housekeeping on a large farm on the south border of Buckeye Lake, where they toiled and wrought many years. Both became members of Trin­ ity Reformed Church in the village of Thornville a mile south of their home; and in that Church they worked and wo1shipped under many pastorates to the end of their days on earth.

An interesting item should be noted here, from t,ha autobiog­ raphy of Rev. Frederick Christian Bauman, Stella's father, who states that while he attended school in Tarlton, Ohio, be had a room with a Mr. and Mrs. Noble. This Mrs. Noble was a daugh­ ter of Rev. Henry lung, uncle of Rebecca King Zartman. Dur­ ing part of his course at Heidelberg his roommate was George Zartman Mechling, a nephew of Isaac Zartman, father of the historian. Edgar and Estella took up their abode on the farm of his par­ ents, near Buckeye Lake in Thorn Township; here they remained two years; then one year they lived at Alpha, Ohio, where they both taught music, and Edgar also taught in the public schools. They then returned to the farm near Tbornvilie for three more years. Their son, Harold Theodore, was born on that farm; it was the best crop they ever had on that fertile soil. In December, 1902, they removed to Zwing~e, Iowa, where Edgar was rural mail carrier until 1909, when he was appointed Postmaster ·of Zwingle, and served in that capacity from 1909 to 1933. He was a most efficient public official. In Zwingle fortune favored them with another son, Arthur Benjamin, b. 2/19/1903. Ethel Estella was b. 1/25/1905. For a year or more Edgar was in failing health, which termi­ nated in his death on Tuesday 5/30/1933. The interment was on Friday, June 2nd, their pastor, Rev. Melvin C. Witmer,offic­ iating. Edgar's body reposes in beautiful Harmony Church Cem­ etery, in Zwingle, Iowa. Edgar and Stella were always active in ti '\'Ork of the King­ dom as was to be expected because of the heritage and rearing they had by devout, God-fearing parents. Edgar served as Sun­ day School teacher and superintendent, and in the Church as elder and choir director. His zeal and loyalty were most commend­ able. The children of this home were confirmed in Harmony Reform­ ed Church, Zwingle, by their pastor Rev. Jos. M. Newgard. Harold Theodore graduated from the High School in Charles City, Iowa, in 1918, making his home with a maternal aunt dur­ ing those years. For two years he was employed in the bank in Charles City; during the next two years he attended the Iowa State College at Ames, followed by two years in Columbia Uni­ versity, New York, where he prepared for the legal profession.

My parents were devout Christians. Father and Mother early in their youth had dedicated their lives to the service of the Master and the welfare of the commun­ ity. They were of one mind and spirit in their devotion to the church. Father was a pillar of strength in the community, a great leader and a good man. It is not only a great honor and asset to have been born of such parentage; it carries with it also the fact of great responsibilities. "I was baptized in infancy by Rev. Frederick W. Dechant; was confirmed 9/22/1866 by Rev. C. W. Hoyman as a member of St. Paul's Reformed Church, near Glenford, Perry County, Ohio."

Mr. Parks is an Elder in St. Paul's and in its Sun­ day School has been for many yeari; the popular teacher of a young men's Bible Class; he also has been Sunday school superin­ tendent, and church treasurer. He was a Notary forty years, and Justice of the Peace seventeen years. He has also served as Mayor of Glenford, and of Somerset. To Mr, and Mrs. Parks were born two daughters, both born in Somerset, Ohio: Bessie Blani::he, b. 4/7/1884; and Hazel Belle, b. 10/6/1888. Bessie Parks graduated from Glenford High School in 1901. Hazel Parks graduated in 1905, and has been a public school teacher many years. 82 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

On 10/14/1930 Mr. and Mrs. Parks celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary very happily. About 60 friends and rela­ tives gathered as a surprise to them to attend this celebration. Among those present were Mrs. Laura King Lentz, who acted as bride's maid 50 years before, the preacher brothers of the bride, Allen and Rufus Zartman, and a number of nieces and nephews. This delightful surprise was planned by the two daughters. Margaret Jane Parks died 12/20/1931 and is buried in St. Paul's Cemetery. In her last hours were gathered around her her immediate family and a half a dozen of the nieces and nephews she so dearly loved. She lived for her family, made many a sacri­ fice that they might continue their duties outside the home, and was greatly beloved by all. Several years after her death Mr. Parks so'd the farm and moved to Glenford, where he lives with bis daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Clide C. Smith, and is at present conducting a feed and grain store. Bessie Blanche Parks, older daughter of William H. and Mar­ garet Jane Parks, was b. at Somerset, Ohlo, 4/7/1884. She at­ tended the public schools at that place until her parents moved, in 1894, to the Pleasant Hill Farm. She there attended the Smith school and later Hopewell Township Hip,h School from which she graduated in 1901. Following her graduation shE' taught for several years and was active in literary and scholastic work in Perry County. She resided with her parents at Pleasant Hill for the six years they remained there, moving with them to Sunny­ side Farm in the same community. In Sept. 1906 she m. her classmate Fred S. Mechling, b. 6/13/ 1882, son of Peter P. and Frances Orr Mechling, and they lived on the farm where Mr. Mechling was b. and reared. Their child­ ren arc: a daughter b. 4/4/1907, d. 4/5/1907; LoiR Kathleen, b. 10/27/1908; Helen Marguerite, b. 12/6/1910; Mary Frances, b. 4/19/1912, d. 12/17/1931; Frederick Dewalt, b. 2/28/1914; Paul Parks, b. 4/19/1919; Margaret Louise, b. 6/15/1923. Mr. Mechling is Lutheran and Mrs. Mechling is Reformed. All of the children are graduates of the Perry County grade schools and of the High School of which their parents are alumni, and Paul is a senior in Ohio State University. In the fall of 1926 Kathleen Mechling entered Capital Uni­ versity at Columbus, enrolling in the Arts Normal course. The following year she returned to her home on account of ill health, JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 83 and in the fall of 1928 she went to Albuquerque, N. M., accom­ panied by her mother. Here she spent six years in the Presbyterian Sanitarium. Her fine disposition, indomitable courage, patience, humor, and win­ someness won friends for her in every department of this insti­ tution. Though for weeks forced to remain flat on her back in bed, she was known by patients, doctors and nurses, and loved by them all. With the seeming return of strength and health she worked for some time in the office during the morning hours, but in the early spring of 1934 through an accident she suffered a relapse which put her to bed again, that she might have perfect quiet and rest. From this illness she seemed to have recovered but on the morning of 12/5/1934 she suffered a heart attack and quietly slipped away to her Heavenly Home, where there shall bo no more pain and illness, no parting nor grief. Her uncle Rufus Zartman in March 1931 visited Kathleen in the Sanitarium, spent several days with her, ate his meals with her in her room. Her prospect for recovery was roseate; she was so cheerful and hopeful that return to heaith seemed a certainty. The notice of her death seemed like fiction, wholly incredible. Her funeral was on 12/10/1934 and the burial in Highland ceme­ tery at Glenford, Ohio. Helen M. Mechling attended Capital University two years. In 1930 she m. Dannard R. Hursey of Glenford, who was b. 4/11/1908; he is the school attendance officer of Perry County. They lived with his parents on the Troup farm, north of Pleasant Hill; now reside in the village of Glenford opposite Shrider's Store. Their children nre: Glenn Alan, b. 9/20/1930; and Carol Louise, b. 10/23/1932. Mary Frances Mechling entered Bliss Business College in Col­ umbus in 1930. When she had nearly finished the serretnrial course she became ill with septic sore throat, and died 12/17/1931, and on Dec. 10th she was laid to rest in Highland Cemetery at Glenford. F. Dewalt Mechling, nfter his graduation from High School in 1932, has assisted his parents on the farm. Hazel Belle Parks was b. in Somerset, Ohio, 10/6/1888 in the house which was later occupied by Aunt Sarah Swinehart and her family, until the time of Aunt Sarah's death. Her grade school work she obtained at "Smith's" new school house, nnd she grad- 84 THE ZARTMAN FAMIL y

uated from Hopewell Twp. High School in 1905. She spent the next year at this school doing post-graduate work in preparation for teaching. In the fall of 1906 she began teaching, and has taught at the following schools: Hopewell Twp. Rural, Glenford Upper Grades, Glenford Consolidated, New Lexington, and McCune­ ville, where she was principal of the High School. Her normal work was obtained at Ohio State University, Columbus and Ohio University, Athens. An "Elementary Life Certificate" was award­ ed her in 1919. She holds a twenty-five year diploma in the Ohio Teachers' Reading Circle, in recognition of which the State De­ partment of Education gave her sixteen hours of professional credit. Hazel is active in community work, leading 4-H clubs; holding the station of Grange lecturer in Hopewell Grange; has been executive secretary of the Glenford Red Cross, and has taught a private kindergarten. When Cousin Dorsey King left St. Paul's Church after forty years of service as organist and choir leader, Hazel was selected as his successor, and this position she now holds, both she and her husband being members of this choir. On 12/22/1917 Hazel m. Clide Calvin Smith, who was b. 6/25/- 1893, the son of Gharles and Almeda Bodell Smith. He also is a graduate of Hopewell Twp. High School, and of the Perry County Normal School. He taught school in Reading Twp., Mt. Perry and New Lexington, then became an employee of the Triangle Motor Car Co. of Zanesville and the Owens Motor Car Co. of Newark. Clide and Hazel had a son named Kermit Parks, b. and d. in 1918. RuFus CALVIN ZARTMAN was born on Martin Luther's day, Nov. 10th, but 373 years later, 11/10/1856. He grew up on a farm in Perry County, Ohio, attended the rural grade schools, played the ball games then popular such as sock ball, andy over, bull-pen, bavel-de-bavel, and round-town, from which game Harry Wright developed the famous game of baseball. From the time Rufus was two weeks old he attended both Sunday School and Church every Sunday. In 1875 he attended High School in Thornville, Ohio, seven miles from home. In 1877 he graduated from the Heidelberg Academy in Tiffin, Ohio; in 1881 from Heidelberg College in the Classical course with A.B. degree. In 1881 and 1882 he taught Greek and Latin in Heidel- JACOB ZARnu.N AND FAMILY 85

berg College, and also carried along Theological studies, gradu­ ating from Heidelberg Theological Seminary in May 1883. In 1886 he secured A.M. from his Alma Mater, then for a couple of years pursued studies in mental and moral philosophy at Wooster University. In 1883 Tuscarawas Classie, Ohio Synod, licensed him to preach the Gospel and on 6/3/1883 at Navarre, Ohio, the Classis ordained him to the ministry. He preached his initial sermons on Sunday 8/10/1879 when a junior in College. His pastorates have been as follows: Wooster, Ohio, English Reformed Church, 1883 to 1888; Grace Church, Akron, Ohio, from Oct. 1888 to 4/13/1891; Heidelberg Reformed Church, Philadelphia, Pa., from 4/15/1891 to 4/15/1921. While Pastor in Akron, Ohio, he added 400 members to Grace Church, with 75 members of Grace Church he organized Trinity Reformed Church on North Hill, and with the aid of the sainted Dr. S. C. GoBB he organized the Reformed Church in Barberton, Ohio. While Pastor in Philadelphia he added to Heidelberg Church 2,624 members, organized four other Reformed Churches, and assisted ten young men in Heidelberg Church to get into the Gospel min­ istry; be saw the Sunday School of Heidelberg grow from 600 to a membership of 1,400. He resigned the pastorate of Heidelberg to accept the challenge of becoming the Superintendent of Evan­ gelism, in which work he engaged actively almost 20 years, until his health became seriously impaired. In June 1896 Ursinus College, Collegeville, Pa., conferred on him the degree of S.T.D., Doctor of Sacred Theology, in recognition of his published treat­ ise on Heaven. He was at various times a delegate to the General Synod, and in 1896 was a delegate to the Pan-Presbyterian Council in Glasgow, Scotland, and to the Jubilee of the Evangelical Alliance in Lon­ don, England; in that year (1896) he traveled in Ireland, Scot­ land, England, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and France. He preached in Glasgow, Scotland and in Interlaken, Switzer­ land, and while in Scotland was the guest of the sons and daugh­ ters of the sainted Rev. Mr. Wilson, who had a 40-year pastorate of a Free Church in Glasgow. While in London at the Evange!ical Alliance Dr. Zartman was the guest of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Newman Hall in their beautiful home in Hamptead Heath. 86 THE ZARTMAN FAM:ILY

In 1904 he was a delegate to the World's Fourth Sunday School Convention, in Jerusalem, Palestine; in 1904, he visited the fol­ lowing countries and places: the Island of Madiera, Gibraltar, Spain, Algeria, Island of Malta, Greece, Turkey, Black Sea, Asia Minor, the Island of Rhodes, the Island of Cyprus, Syria, the Holy Land, Egypt, Italy, France and the Azores. For the World's Sunday School Convention in Jerusalem 800 delegates from the States and Canada were taken over in the "Grosser Kurfurst," a steamship which had cost two million dollars. The Convention was attended by 1929 delegates, from all parts of the world. Three huge tents joined together on the north slope of Calvary accommodated the Convention in its week of assembling. In the early part of that famous conven­ tion the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was commemorated, and Dr. Zartman was chosen as one of the administrators. Among the hymns sung were these: "In the Cross of Christ I Glory," "Tis Midnight on Olive's Brow," "Just as I am." The occasion was a foretaste of heavenly glory. To see Palestine aright, with 100 visitors Dr. Zartman took the horseback and tenting trip, calling at all of the most notable places in the Holy Land, as Haifa, Nazareth, Cana, Mount of Beatitudes, Sea of Galilee, Capemaum, Magdaia, the Jordan, Jericho, Elisha's fountain, Dead Sea, Mount Gerizim, Plain of Sharon, Jezreel, Joppa, Shi­ loh, Shechem, Jacob's Well, Mount Eba), Bethlehem, Gilboa, Golgotha, Mount of Olives, Rachel's Tomb, Bethany, etc. The Historian has delivered many illustrated lectures on his travels, and published many religious tracts and various books, 118 "Heaven", "Eternal Life", "The Commandments Up-to­ Date", "The Holy Spirit", "The Unpardonable Sin"; also "The Zartman Family," in two editions. On 9/4/1884 he m. Hattie Eaton, b. 9/18/1862 in Rollcrs­ ville, Sandusky County, Ohio. Miss Eaton was the daughter of Capt. John W. Eaton and his wife Eunice Winslowe Eaton, nee Hathaway, b. at Fall River, Mass., 3/4/1831, and migrated in 1847 with many others to the Black Swamp in Northwest Ohio. The marriage took place in Fostoria, Ohio, and was solemnized by Rev. Allen K. Zartman, assisted by Rev. John D. Neff. Hattie Eaton, in addition to the public schools of her native place, Roll­ ersvi le, Ohio, had attended the Fostoria Academy, Heidelberg College, and the Conservatory of Music, at Wooster, Ohio, and JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 87 bad taught six terms of school. Her age was but 16 yrs. when she taught her first public school, in a rural district. She possessed remarkable diplomacy in the management of children, and like Jesus she loved little children. Mr11. Zartman possessed many talents and was well suited to her station as mistress of the manse and he'.pmate of a busy urban pastor for 40 years. She was deeply interested in the cause and work of Christian missions, and both in Wooster and Akron, Ohio, she organized women's missionary societies. She also assisted in organizing the missionary societies of Ohio Synod and of the General Synod of the Reformed Church. For eighteen consecutive years she was president of the women's missionary society of Philadelphia Classis; she brought its annual contribu­ tions up from hundreds of dollars to thousands. For a triennium she was president of the Women's Missionary Society of Eastern Synod. Her efficient and pleasing leadership gave her great popu­ lar favor. Her talent and training in music were of ceaseless value in the home, church, school, and other public functions. She special­ ized in music, both vocal and instrumental, and also taught music many years, qualifying her children to read music, to sing and to play. Her musical talent was extraordinary. On Dr. Zartman's return from travels abroad an Elder of the Church said to him: •'While you were away Mrs. Zartman arranged for thirteen funerals, attended them all, sang at them, and at one funeral she read the Scriptures selected; she did everything but preach, and I believe she could have done that too." She made many a spiritual address that was sermonic in character. To Dr. and Mrs. Zartman were born the following children: Wayne, b. and d. 8/19/1887, at Wooster, Ohio; Grace, b. 7/16/- 1889, at Akron, Ohio; Ruth, b. 1/30/1891, at Akron, Ohio; Rufus l{ing, b. 8/6/1892, in Philadelphia, Pa., and d. 2/18/- 1894; Josephine Dean, b. 10/30/1899, in Philadelphia; Dean Eaton, twin brother of Josephine Dean, b. and d. 10/30/1899; Allan Calvin, b. and d. 1/31/1908. Grace Zartman was in her Junior year, classical course, in the Philade'.phia High School for Gir!s, when she died 2/25/1907. She was most highly gifted and endowed with many and extra­ ordinary talents. Ruth Zartman, in June, 1908, graduated meritorious in the classical course from the Philadelphia High School for Girls; and 88 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

in June, 1909, she graduated from Peirce School, Philadelphia, in stenography and typewriting. Then for five and one-half years she did secretarial work: first with the Rapid Transit Co., and then with the Alan Wood Iron and Steel Co. On 10/15/1914 Ruth Zartman m. Ralph Balliet Clapp of Phil­ adelphia, Pa., a member of Heidelberg Reformed Church and a former student at F. &. M. College in Lancaster, Pa., as well as a graduate from a business school in bookkeeping and short­ hand, The marriage took place in Heidelberg Church, 19th and Oxford Sta. For a wedding trip the bride and groom made a visit to Niagara Falls. Prior to their marriage they had decided upon a site for their future home in Collingswood, N. J., and Mr. Clapp had purchased the lot at 44 7 Park Ave. They made designs for their dwelling, which was erected and furnished to their liking, and on their return from their honeymoon they entered and began housekeeping. To them on 12/15/1922 a daughter, Mary Irene, was born, in the Woman's Hospital in Philadelphia. On 6/13/1940 Mary graduated from High School in Collingswood, N. J., and is now studying in the Stenotype Institute in Philadelphia. Mr. Clapp was a man of sterling worth, a Christian gentle­ man, endowed with splendid talents; he and Ruth became the third highest contributors in Heidelberg Church; they were tithers, Sunday School teachers, members of the choir. Mr. Clapp was one of the seven Deacons, Treasurer of the Board of Deacons, Treasurer of the Sunday School, unfailing attend­ ant upon all Church services. Such men are like angel visits, few and far between; they should Jive forever and they will. For seventeen years he was in the employ of MacAndrews and Forbes manufacturers in Camden, N. J. His future was of great promise. Early in 1923, however, when their only child was 25 days old, he was stricken with sleeping sickness, for which neither cause nor cure are as yet known; all that could be done was of no avail; he ling­ ered six years and grew steadily more helpless, dying on 1/2/1929; his mortal remains rest in Harleigh Cemetery of Camden, N. J. The widow and daughter continue to reside in Collingswood where they are active and faithful members of the First Metho­ dist Church.

Late in 1940 Dr. Zartman was asked three questions by a gentleman whom he had just met,, and the questions with answers are as follows: L "How old are you." "How old do you think I am?" The reply was, "I take you to be 65." I said, "That is com~ plimentary, but incorrect. My age is 84 years." 2. "How long have you been preaching?" "I preached my fimt sermons on Sunday, Aug. 10, 1879-61 years ago." 3. "How many scrmonii have you preached?" After consulting my pastoral records I gave the following answer: "With my voice I have preached 12,- 000 sermons. In printed form in my books, parish papers, church periodicals, in newspapers, and in tract form I have preached 100,000 sermons, or a grand total of 112,000."

She had chosen her funeral text which was John 14:2,3. She was known by all as ''Aunt Margaret"; was a most earnest and efficient worker in church and Sunday school, and until her end she was a teacher in Sunday school. She was gifted with a strong and beautiful voice, and for many years led the singing in Sunday School and church. Before the day of organs in churches she used to give the pitch by ear and raise the tunes. Her temper was extraordinary for sweetness and com­ placency, and in her ministrations she was a veritable angel. In largest measure she had imbibed the spirit of Christ and her likeness to the Saviour was observed by all who knew her. She was one of the best, purest, sweetest, noblest women that ever walked God's earth. Truly, for her to live was Christ and to die, gain. MAGDALENA ZARTMAN, daughter of Alexander IV, m. 5/18/- 1852, Joel Smith, who learned the trade of blacksmith from his father-in-law, Alexander Zartman. Joel Smith was b. 9/6/1828, a eon of John Smith and Hannah Dorshem of Somerset, Ohio. Joel Smith grew up in Somerset and as a lad often went swimming with Phil.

Isaac Zartman of Somerset. The General was in gorgeous uniform, adorned with many brass buttons and bands of golden braid, and had a sword dangling by his side. After my presentation the General laid bis right hand on my shoulder and smiled. I can still feel the touch of that hand.

"Energetic, hopeful, capable and honest, his life was full of action. A man of strong convictions, honest to the core, he lived a life of usefulnP.ss, open and above board and free from all hypocrisy. His friends were as numerous as his acquaintances and he merited and shared tho intimate confidence and trust of the whole prople as but few men have done.

The sons bad substantial names and developed just such characters. We shall now treat of them in the following order: Israel, Joshua, Henry, and Levi.

ISRAEL ZARTMAN I. lsRAEL ZARTMAN was b. 1/9/1812. As far as known to us, he was the first Zartman born in the Buckeye State. All who knew uncle Israel remember him as a kind, humorous, large­ hearted, good man, always pleasant and smiling. In sugar-mak­ ing season, we would ask: "Uncle, have you made any sugar as yet?" His answer would be: 0 Oh, yes, our sugar bowl is full." He had a contented, grateful spirit. He was a farmer and owned land adjoining the farms of his brothers, Isaac and Levi, but he was "Jack of all trades"; he was blacksmith, shoemaker, bamess­ maker, willow-basket and carpet-weaver, butcher and farmer. Uncle Israel could do anything. In public prayer he possessed remarkable talent and spiritual fervor. All children who knew him loved him because be usually carried candy and nuts in his pockets and shared them with the little folks. He was twice mar­ ried and blessed with seven sons and seven daughters. On 5/11/1832 be m. Sarah Helser, b. 10/22/1811, d. 9/8/1855.

James Sult Foster was in the Civil War and served four years in the 126th D. V.I. He entered service at 17 and served through­ out the war, with the Thornville Company. He served as an or­ derly for General Hooker. The Company he was with served at Parkersburg, Cumberland, Martinsburg, with General Grant at Richmond, later with General Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley, Spottsylvania, The Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Winchester, Fisher's Hill, Cedar Creek, and Petersburg. Few regiments saw more service and did more fighting than the 126th. They were mustered out late in June, 1865. James Foster, this war hero, m. Della Wahl; they had a son and a daughter. He died in Michi­ gan about 1933. David Sult Foster m. Matilda Jane Love, b. 12/21/1857, d. 3/20/1915.

All of these children, who grew up together with the Foster boys, became members of St. Paul's Reformed Church in Perry County, Ohio, and she also assisted in the rearing of this large family. Israel Zartman d. 3/26/1893 and is buried in St. Paul's Churchyard near Glenford, Ohio. In very recent years the his­ torian has made the happy discovery that all of the aforenamed Fosters are cousins to many hundreds of Zartmans. The writer is happy to enroll at least a few of the hundreds of Foster rela­ tives who have descended from a famous missionary, Rev. Wil­ liam Foster, who organized the lutheran Church in Redington in 1803 and the Zion Lutheran Church in Thom Twp. in 1806; he did a similar work in many counties in Ohio. His own family consisted of nine sons and three daughters, whose mother, Mag­ dalene Daniels Foster, was a great aunt of the historian. Let us now see how the Israel Zartman family grew and spread: Simon Zartman, son of Isrncl, m. Martha Mechling and had three daughters: Amanda, b. 3/17/1853; Sarah Rebecca, b. 5/2/1855; 110 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

and "One Hundred 'fhouso.nd Lepers in the Belgian Congo." His Doctorate in Philosophy was completed at Columbia Uni­ versity in 1934. _At Heiser's Mission lepers are cured. A Moham­ medan priest seeing that said, "Our God can't cure lepers; your God is the true God." He renounced his faith in Allah and became a Christian ! It has not been my privilege to meet this good missionary, but I have heard much praise of him and his work. One Sunday in Pennsylvania, a lady who belonged to the Church of the Breth­ ren had me as dinner guest, and she told me their Church had such a very good and successful missionary in Nigeria, West Africa. I asked, "What is his name?" She got it and showed it to me; it was Albert David Helser, just as I e,rpected. I said, "His mother is my first cousin and she belongs to the Reformed Church." It made me very happy. My Cousin Emma Zartman Helser said to me one day: "I wanted to be a missionary, but I couldn't. Then I prayed that one of my sons might become a foreign missionary. Albert is the answer to my prayers." This praying, happy mother went on to say: "One day a Cpristian gentleman who was deeply impressed with Albert and the story of his work among the lepers, en.me to him and said, 'In my will I shall remember your work with the sum of ten thousand dollars.' Albert was of course pleased, but said, 'In your will? You may live ten years yet; in that time many souls will die, why don't you give it now"f' The man thought a bit and gave him ten thousand dollars." Hallelujah, praise the Lord! For many years the names of two missionaries have been conspicuous in Africa, to-wit: David Livingstone and Henry• Stanley. We can add the name of Albert Helser and make it an immortal trio-Livingstone! Stanley! Helser! Glory be to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Martha Luella Zartman m.

Mrs. Margaret J. Zartman, nee Yarnell, died Friday, 10/10/ 1930 after having Jived in Columbus thirty-six years. She was a member of I{ing Avenue Methodist Church. Funeral services at their late residence, 343 l{ing Ave., were held Saturday at 7:30 P. M. Interment was on Sunday afternoon, October 13, with additional services in St. Paul's Reformed Church, Glenford, Ohio. Prayer there was offered by Rev. Rufus C. Zartman, D.D., of Philadelphia, Pa. Rose Zartman was for many years at home with her brother William in Columbus. She taught public schools many years, was a member of the Reformed Church all her life, and devoted herself to Sunday School, missionary and religious work. To her sisters and brothers in their sicknesses she was the comforting sympathizing and nursing Good Samaritan. Her last end came with the suddenness of an electric flash, but fully prepared for the Master's kind and gracious words: "Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Matt. 25, 23. The time of her departure 1938, at 41 West 11th Ave., Columbus, Ohio, was early on Monday, December 5. She was a member of the Wilson Avenue Reformed and Evangelical Church in Co­ lumbus. The funeral rites were on Wednesday, December 7, with burial in St. Pa.ul"s Churchyard near Glenford, Ohio. She could have said with St. Paul: "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Phil. 1 :21. Just one month before her transition she wrote a letter to the historian saying: "I'm thinking my last yea.rs are my best ones. Now very soon you will reach another milestone in your journey, and I send my best wishes for a very happy birthday-that of your 82nd !" In a recent letter her brother Charles writes: "I miss m? dear sister Rose, who was always most kind and considerate, always ready to sympathize and en­ courage, and always pointing the right way. I do miss her sol" Miss Rose Zartman d. at the age of 85 years. In one of her last days she penned the following lines and mailed them to the historian: "All of the family from the oldest to the youngest were fond of music and could sing. Some had very good voices. Many happy hours were spent in singing at the dear old home. The father had a very fine voice. And one of the family was teacher and com­ poser of music. Eight of the family taught school. I taught the longest and after I was 83 I met former pupils whose ages ranged from 65 to 71 years." JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 145

Albert 0. Zartman was a former; first he owned a form in Hope­ well Twp., Perry County, and afterwards at Kirkersville, Ohio. On 1/1/1879, he m. Martha· E. Swinehart, daughter of John Swinehart, son of George Swinehart, and his wife Anna Catharine, nee Zartman. Albert Zartman's great grandfather, Henry Zartman, and Martha Swinehart's great grandfather, Peter Zartman, were brothers, and b. in Lmica.ster County, Pa. Albert 0. Znrtman, like his father before him, was a devout Christian man; he and his wife and their son were members of the Reformed Church. Their son, Burl A., was b. 2/7/1882; at the age of fifteen, in 1897, he graduated from the Kirkersville High School; at sixteen he entered Heidelberg University to pursue a classical course and to prepare for the ministry. He was a young man of finest character and exceptional ability; be gave promise of highest usefulness. But, alas! disease interrupted his plans, and his course was abruptly terminated; he d. 6/7/1900, aged 18 years and 4 months. His father, Albert, had d. 4/3/1888, both of them claimed by the white plague, tuberculosis. Mrs. Martha E. Zartman, Albert's widow, resided in Columbus, Ohio. Among her beneficent works was the education of a Japanese young man for the Christian ministry. She d. 4/23/1930, and was buried with her son and husband in the cemetery at St. Paul's Reformed Church, near Glenford, Ohio. Emanuel C. Zartman, like his seven brothers and three sisters, was reared on the farm; after a good common school education he made a special study of music and gave instructions in vocal and instrumental music for some years. His ambition was for a higher musical training, and accordingly in 1884 he matriculated as a student of music under Prof. Karl Merz, at the University of Wooster. He graduated from this institution in June, 1887, with the degree of B.M. He taught music three years in the Academy at Pleasantville, Ohio, and two years in the College at Emporia, l{ansas; then for a term of seven years was the teacher of music at Monmouth College, Monmouth, Ill. From there he was called to the head of the musical department of Heidelberg University, Tiffin, Ohio, where he ably and successfully taught for sixteen years. Under his direction the oratorio of "The Messiah" was first given in its entirety in the city of Tiffin. He spent the last sixteen years of his life in social service work, and till within two weeks of his peaceful death. During his three 146 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY yea.rs in the Conservatory of Music in Wooster, be was the di­ rectl'r of the choir of the English Reformed Church, where his cousin Rev. Rufus C. Zartman, was pastor at that time. He made the music very attractive. He was also a composer of sacred music, and a splendid solo singer. On Christmas in 1890, in Can­ ton, Ohio, he m. Minnie May Robinson. The ceremony was per­ formed by his first cousin, Rev. Rufus C. Zartman, D.D., then residing at Akron, Ohio. Prof. Zartman was an Elder in the Grace Reformed Church, Tiffin, Ohio. While asleep in his bed, in the night of 2/27/1933, he passed away. As when Lazarus of Bethany had died Jesus said, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep," and he meant the sleep called death, so we could say of tMs beloved husband, father, and friend: "He has fallen asleep." His age was 76 years, 1 month, 'J:l days. On 3/1/1933 he was buried by the side of his son William Allen in Greenlawn Ceme­ tery, Tiffin, Ohio. His widow resides at 132 Greenfield St., Tiffin, Ohio. Among tributes paid in honor and memory of him we cite a. few. A pupil wrote, "We can never forget the insj iration he was to us; he made music such a blessing to us." "The greatest thing about him was his Christian influence; he was not only a musi­ ciim, but a Christian one who was willing to use his talents in the service of his Master." His widow writes: "I have the blessing of having spent over 42 years with him-the best years of our lives, sharing the joys and sorrows, tho ups and downs that come in the rearing of children and making a homo for them." "He had good Christian principles and stuck to them; he lived his religion." "I never saw the man I would trade him for." Groups of little boys and girls of whom he had the moral oversight came to see him in his casket. A boy was heard to say: "Gee! I wish Mr. Zartman could have stayed in the court house forever." A poor woman told how she was on her knees praying to God that the gas company would not turn off her gas. There was a rap on her door; she opened it, and there stood Mr. Zartman who handed her a receipted bill for the gas. She said: "I knew he was the answer to my prayer." His religion was not static; it had eyes and oars, hands and feet. Children: Lena Margaret, b. 5/26/1892; Karl Emanuel, b. 10/18/1893; Mary Helen, b. 9/7/1895; Adeline Lee, b. 3/12/ 1902; William Allen, b. 6/17/1904, d. 2/4/1908 of diphtheria.

When Henry Lentz came into this family he was not quite five years old; he was presented to four stepbrothers and three stepsisters, and in the next five years he saw four more real brothers join the family. There was a time when Henry had his mother's lap and love all to himself, but he shared that lap and love freely and generously with his new baby brothers. The writer knew Henry intimately, loved and esteemed him. One day in a letter his stepsister Rose penned this tribute to him: "Henry was of a kind, gentle nature and a great help to his wid­ owed mother in bringing up his three half-brothers, Charles, George and Ferdinand."

I see the old home-sweet retreat, And hear my mother's voice, in song Of melody, that's soft and clear,· A 11d once again, upon her sweet A 11d gentle face, there drops among Her smifos, a clear and glistening tear.

Beyond the wall my father bends Among the shrubs and fragrant flowers, Ju.~t as he did in days of yore, Where he would greet his o'ld time friend.~, Who stopped to rest beneath the bower And chat beside our welcome door.

Oh, Time, what cha11ges you have wrought! The scene.1 of chi'ldhood are no more; There stands a city, vast and vain, Where noisy traffic means but naught To me, while I am looking o'er Thjs sacred spot in memor11 lane.

But his brother Samuel had made good, and his only sister Mary had gone to Polo, Ill., playing the part of a heroine, and numerous first cousins were already making a suc­ cess among the hills and dales of Ohio; so youthful Isaac Kniss Zartman, with a courageous spirit, said goodbye and set forth, on a journey of 600 or more miles, with Jamestown, in Greene County Ohio, bis objective. How interesting would be a diary of the happenings on that long journey, beset with many perw and great difficulties. He arrived safely at his destination, and what a welcome he must have got from the older brother and family! Young Isaac had learned the trade of wagon-making, which was the occupation of his brother Samuel, who was glad to have his young brother to assist him in this flourishing and useful business. Isaac Kniss Zartman m. 3/6/1841 Ann Barnett. To them were born six children: Ann Amelia, b. 10/l&/1844; Susan Mary, b. JACOB ZARTM.\N AND FAMILY 171

MtCUAl!JL ZARTMAN AND DESCENDANTS

MICHAEL ZARTMAN, son of Henry, son of Jo.cob, son of Alex­ ander I, was born in Northumberland County, Pa., probably in the year 1772. In Sept., 1803, Henry Zartman, his father, made bis will and in it mentioned Michael, the last, and said he was de­ ceased, but had two sons, Henry and Michael, who should re­ ceive their father's portion of the estate. Henry, in his will, also states that Michael's widow, Catharine Zartman, is intermarried with Daniel Kobel. F"om Court records at Sunbury, Pa., we learn that Michael died in 1799; papers of administration were taken out 12/7/1799. If Michael was 21 when he married, then he was 27 when he died, and, accordingly, his birth would have been in 1772. Michael's son, Henry, was b. 12/21/1795; and we believe that bis son, Mfohael, was younger and born possibly in 1797. Michael Zartman, Sen., m. Catharine Frederica Emerich. To this union were born two sons: John Henry, b. Dec. 21, 1795; and Michael, b. probably in 1797. They lived in Northumber­ land County, Pa., where Michael, Sen., d. in 1799. Some time prior to Sept., 1803, Michael's widow, Cn.tharine F. Zartman, married Daniel Kobel, and they moved to Franklin township, Allegheny County, Pa. They took with them into Allegheny county the two little boys, John Henry and Michael Zartman, sons of Michael, Sen. There these boys grew up. John Henry, as far as we can learn, never co.me back East, but moved into Butler County, Pa., and from there into Adams County, Ohio. His brother, Michael, however, returned to the place of his na­ tivity in Northumberland County. Except for the will of grand­ father Henry Zartman it might have been impossible to connect John Henry and Michael Zartman with Alexander I.

JOUN HENRY ZARTMAN AND FAMILY JoBN HENRY ZARTMAN, son of Michael, son of Henry, son of Jacob, son of Alexander I, was born in Northumberland County, Pa. His certificate of birth and baptism, 114 years old, was found in the possession of a grandson, John Henry Hornbeck, of Los Angeles, Calif. Mr. Hornbeck kindly sent us this certificate, and JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAIIIILY 251

from it we copy the following: "To the husband anrl ,. ife, Michael Zartman and his wedded wife, Catharine Frederic,. •,, nee Emer­ ich, a son, John Henry, was born in the year of our Lord Jesus 1795, on the 21st of December, at 6 o'clock in the morning, in the constellation of Capricorn. God give grace, power and strength, that this John Henry may grow up in the fear of the praise and honor of the Lord. Baptized by Pastor Geiseweit, preacher and servant of the Word. This John Henry was born and baptized in America, in the State of Pennsylvania, in North­ umberland Co., in Mahanoy township. Witness of baptism: John Henry Zartman, unmarried." This sponsor was an uncle of baby John Henry, and in the year 1811 moved to Perry County, 0. John Henry Zartman and his family became wholly isolated from all the rest of the Zartman relationship; they became a lost tribe; but the historian providentially found this large and interesting clan, and its members scattered from Penn­ sylvania to the Pacific Coast. He was a carpenter by trade. He married a woman named Margaret Shaffer, nicknamed "Peggy." They moved into Butler County, Pa., and there all of their eight children were born to them, as follows: A boy whose name is thought to have been Michael, who on his way to school one spring morning fell into a stream of water, called "Breakneck," and drowned; Mary Ann, b. 1818; William, b.1/17/1819; Isaac, b. 11/25/1820; John; Catharine Ann, b. 12/8/1824; George, b. 5/18/1826; James. In April 1830, John Henry and Michael Zartman conjointly sold a piece of land in Lower Mahanoy township to George Shaf­ fer; in the deed for this land John Henry and Margaret, his wife, arc said to reside in Butler County, Pa., and John Henry is called n carpenter. In Mar. 1830, Michael Zartman, Jr., bought a piece of land in Lower Mahanoy township; in the deed Michael is called a teamster, and a rllSident of Northumberland County, Pa. John Henry Zartman was not contented in Butler County, and therefore derided to go farther west. He and his wife and their children, except Mary Ann and William, took a boat at or near Pittsburgh, and steamed down the Ohio river in quest of a new home. This was in the year 1841. They located in Adams County, Ohio, near Rome and West Union. He used to say he had only fifty cents left when they reached their destination. There in Adams County, Jefferson township, be bought a small farm, and 252 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY named it "Greenbrier," and the place still bears the name. Here be engaged in farming, worked some at his trade, and also con­ ducted a general country store. He was evidently a thrifty, in­ dustrious and prosperous man. Either in 1865 or 1868 he died, and is buried on the "Greenbrier" farm; his wife, Margaret, died some years later, and is buried by bis side. Henry Scott, the ad­ ministrator of John Henry Zartman's estate, is still living, and gave us much valuable information; he writes: "I am now 70 years old. I knew John Henry Zartman from my boyhood. He came from Pa." Mary Ann Zartman, 2/22/1841, m. John Wallace, b. 11/5/- 1815. They lived for a couple of years in Adams County, Ohio, and then returned to Allegheny County, Pa.

John Henry Zartman's sons changed the spelling of the name by substituting an o. Hence they write the name Zortman, and we shall use the name as they are writing it. Albert V. Zortman, of Pittsburgh,in a letter to us says: "Our great grandfather and grandfather both spelled their names Zartman; the spelling evi­ dently was changed by grandfather's children." This is true, and it is a singular fact that only one of this family can explain why or how this erroneous spelling came into vogue. (See under son Isaac.)

In the early autumn of 1909 he became the victim of typhoid fever, and d. 10/19/1909. Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale held cousin Lester Zartman in very high esteem, and in response to my request sent the following communication: JACOB ZARTllfAN AND FAMILY 283

"New Haven, Conn., Feb. 27, 1934 My dear Mr. Zartman: I was very glad to hear from a connection of Lester Zartman. He was a very high grade man from every point of view, of splendid physique, of rigorous mind-both in power of thought and in judgment and balance-and finally a fine moral character. His death was a great blow to me personally. He did not, I think, publish a great deal but edited the in­ surance volumes issued by the Yale University Press and wrote many of the chapters, The full reference to these is: Yale Insurance Lectures, Vol. I and II, Year 1903-04. Yale Readings in Insurance, Life Insurance, 1909. He also wrote: Investments of Life Insurance, Henry Holt & Co., 1906. Control of Life Insurance Companies, Journal of Political Economy, No. 9, Vol. 15, November 1907. Discrimination and Cooperation in Fire Insurance Rating, Yale Publishing Association. (reprint from Yale Review), no date given. Very likely in the records of his day at Yale will be found other publications the names of which should be on file in the Office of the Secretary of the University. Very sincerely, /s/ Irving Fisher"

"Yale University, New Haven, Conn. December 7, 1939 My dear Sir: I find that the following statement is included in the bio­ graphy of Dr. Zartman which was published in the University Obituary Record at the time of his death: 'During his connection with Yale he had established a reputa­ tion for worthy achievement, and gave unusual promise of a brilliant career. His interest in his work here led him to decline calls to important positions in other institutions. Besides con­ tributing valuable papers to the Yale Review and other periodi­ cals, he edited, "Yale Readings in Insurance," which has since been published in two volumes, by the Yale University Press, and nearly completed the manuscript of "Fire Loss and Fire 284 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

Insurance." His "Investments of Life Insurance Companies" had been favorably received.' Very truly yours, Marion L. Phillips, Alumni Registrar"

They reside in Kansas City, Mo., at 5303 Charlotte Ave. On Sunday morning, 2/3/1929, I preached in Grace Reformed Church, Chicago, and among those who greeted me was Roy Charles Zartman, who was at that time a salesman in Chicago. It was arranged for me to be a dinner guest with his family in 286 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

Evansville on Monday evening, February 4, and I was asked, where do you go from here? I said, "To Sioux City, Omaha, and Lincoln." Cousin Roy exclaimed, "You will be going through Perry, Iowa, where my father lives; he would be delighted to have you stop off. Can I wire him that you will do so?" I as­ '.!ented and it was so arranged. On Wednesday morning, 2/6/1020, I arrived in Perry and was given a very cordial handshake by Cousin Albert Zartman. It was our initial meeting, but we had heard of each other. Inasense my reception was rather cool, because the mercury that morning was 20 below zero I After hot coffee, and by keeping close to a blazing coal stove and a very hearty conversation, we thawed out, and what a day of good, cordial fellowship was ours! Cousin Albert had arranged a program, as follows. He said, "You will have breakfast and lunch here. For dinner this evening we will have two roast chickens in the home of my daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wilna Glenn Zartman, who is a very good cook." Her dinner came up to all expectations. It was a feast indeed. Cousin Albert added: "and after dinner tonight we will go and see a game of basketball in our Methodist Church basement." I said, "That will be my first game of basketball." Cousin Albert was sur­ prised, and said, "Did you never see basketball?" I said, "No, and I won't understand it." He said, "It is an all right game and I'll tell you the points as the game proceeds." I replied, "No doubt it is all right, or you wouldn't have it in your church and you wouldn't take me to see it." The program went across in fine style; and made an abiding impression. The girl team of Perry, called Cardinals, beat a girl team from a Methodist Church in Des Moines. Cousin Albert and I formed a delightful acquaintance, and kept up correspondence during the intervening years. He told me of his prize vegetable and flower gardens, which he planted and cul­ tivated and rejoiced in every summer. Outstanding in that pic­ ture were his 100 red and yellow cannas.

MY JOURNEY'S END

I've often wondered what 'twill be like When I've come to the end of the road; When I've finished this long, long wearisome hike, When I've laid down life's burdensome load.

I wonder what scenes will greet my eye, When I've climbed the last long hill; When I sec that Land Of the Sweet Bye and Bye, How my heart with rapture must thrill.

I've been told that just around the bend, In the road I have traveled so far, JACOB ZARTJ\IAN AND FAMILY 299

Is a Cit71 where the days never come to an end, Its gates ever standing ajar.

So onward and 1tpivarcl each day will I plod, Ever nearing the end of the trail; Till I hope to reach that Fair City of God, Ere the last rays of sunlight fail.

And then, when in His Presence I've stood, Did I hear The Most Worshipful's Word:­ "Well done, thou faithful servant and good, Enter into the joys of thy Lord." "Zim" Isaac Kemble was a school teacher and civil engineer. On 8/10/1861, he enlisted for service in tho Civil War; he was a member of Co. C, 47th Reg., P. V. I.

THE VIEW OF DEATH To him who, like the ancient Psalmist, holds Communion with his blessed Lord, He speaks A various language. For his hap']/'6 days He lws a voice of gladness, and a smile Of love and approbation, and He sends Into his darker hours the Spirit's mild And gentle sympathy, tha.t steals away Their burden ere he is aware.

PETER ZARTMAN

Peter Zartman, Jr., made his last will and testament, 1/7/1845; he was b. in 1785, and d. in 1847. From 1809 or 1810 he lived in Thorn Twp., Perry County, Ohio. He had become a big land owner and in his will he makes some very interesting provisions. Following are some of them: He says his son, Samuel, shall have the fulling and grist mill tract of land containing 29 acres and 8 acres adjoining the same. To his son, Peter, he devises a farm of 128 acres. To his son, Solomon, he devises a farm of 112 acres. To his son, David, he wills a farm of 110 acres. To his daughter Salome or Sarah Mohler, he leaves 83 acres. To his daughter, Polly Shroyer, he bequeaths 83 acres. To his son, Andrew Jack­ son, he devises his saw mill and farm containing 91 acres. To his daughter, Mary Ann Springer, he devises 43 acres. To his son, George Washington, he gives 109 acres. To his son, Benjamin Franklin, he devises all the town lots that he owned, lying and being in Zartman's addition to the town of Thornville, Ohio, and to this same son he also willed $700 to be paid to him in 1849. To his daughter, Mary Ann, he wills, also, $225 to be paid in 1849. Further he provides: "Also I give to my son Samuel the carding machine along with the mill and all the machinery belonging to said mill; and my sons, Geo. Washingto'.'1 and Benj. F. are each to have a yearling horse as soon as they are 18 years old, and also each is to have a bureau; and Mary Ann shall have a bureau, bedstead, bedding and a cow." His will bequeaths and devises over 1000 acres of land.

In 1916 he became a locomotive engineer on the Great Northern Railroad.

They discovered a gold mine there which is still producing; I have read the History through twice, but cannot find any trace of them; probably I overlooked it." I wrote him to turn to page 380 whore he would find the names of Jerome B. and Oliver Poter Zortman, the m,"J)lorers, and founders of the town of Zortman, Mont., in tho year 1900. I discovered these facts after the History was closed. Milton Milo Zartman 6/8/1922 m.

JACOll ZARTMAN, JR. 1 AND Hts FAMILY

JAcoli ZARTMAN, son of Jacob, Sen., son of Alexander I, was born in Lancaster County, Pa. He had three brothers, Henry, Martin and Peter. Of these four brothers we know the birth date of but one, Peter, b. 3/15/1760. In his Inst will and testament Jacob, Sen., calls Henry "my son, my first born." The parents of these four brothers, Jacob Zartman and An.'1a Margareta Riehm, were married 8/14/1744 in Warwick Twp., Lancaster County, Pa. Jacob is mentioned next after Henry in his father's will, and if Henry was born in 17 45, Jacob may have been born in 17 46. When hfa parents in 1768 moved to Northumberland County, Pa., their son, Jacob, does not appear to have gone with them; he seems to have been li'fing then in Dauphin Co., Pa. We found a deed on record in Harrisburg, Pa., which says he was living in Heidelberg Twp., that county. Subsequently that Heidelberg Twp. was included in Lebanon County; its chief town was called Heidelberg, now Schacfferstown. Jacob Zartman, Jr., m. Regina Fiitler (Fitler), a daughter of Jacob and Susanna Fitler. Jacob's brother, Martin, m. Susanna Fitler, a sister to Jacob's wife, Regina. Jacob, Jr., and Regina must have lived for some time in or near Schaefferstown, and were active, faithful members of St. Luke's Lutheran Church. The baptismal register records birth and baptism of their six daughters, and the record of communion services shows that they received this sacrament in that church from 177 4 to 1818, a period of 44 years. The first and last communion records are those of Trit y Sunday, 1774, and Penteeost Sunday, 1818. Among their pastm.1 was Rev. Fred A. C. Muhlenberger. We have found no record of it but our conclusion is that undoubtedly Jacob and Regina were buried in Schaefierstown, in the cemetery of St. Luke's Lutheran Church where they held membership so many years. No stone marks the place of their burial, which is especially regretable since Jacob, Jr., was a soldier in the Revolu­ tionary War. L. R. Kelker, Custodian of Public Records, Harris­ burg, Pa., furnished the following information: "I hereby certify that Jacob Zartman was a private in Capt. John Moore's Company, Second Battalion, Lancaster Co. Militia, JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 349

Thomas Edwards, Lieut. Colonel, 1781." Tho Church Council, agreeing with the historian that Jacob and Regina Zartman must be buried in this ccmetery,.have allotted ground in the cemetery, and it is the purpose of the historian to erect a memorial honor­ ing this patriotic great uncle, and hero of our Republic.

He is a salesman with residence at 921 Maple St., Lebanon, Pa.

Our historic research has established these facts regarding Jacob Zartman, Jr., and his family-that he had seven daughters; that his daughter Catharina m. John Gass and became the mother of seven daughters; that his daughter Magdalene m. Christian Garrett and was the mother of five children. Had Jacob Zart,. man, Jr., no sons? We think he had one son, John. We have no record of his birth or baptism; but neither do we have such data regarding Jacob, Jr., and his wife, Regina. Henry, eldest brother of Jacob, Jr., had ten children, but we found record of birth and baptism of but two of the ten. There is no will, nor deed nor tombstone by which we can substantiate this claim, but we do know that at that particular time there was a John Zartman, not the son of any of Jacob, Jr.'s brothers, nor of any of his cousins, therefore we must conclude that this John was the son of Jacob, Jr., son of Jacob, Sen., son of Alexander I. Upon this conclusion, and as the result of much investigation and extensive inquiry, we write this chapter. J~HN ZARTIIIAN was a blacksmith, and lived in Snyder County, Pa, His wife was Elizabeth Moser, and their children were: Elizabeth; twins, Rebecca and Catharine; sons, John, b. 4/1/- 1810; George, b. 1812; and Henry. The father of this family is buried in tho upper part of Snyder County, Pa., in Blackridge, West Beaver Twp. John Zartman, Jr., was a farmer, and mar­ ried Judy Neihart. They had 16 children; the sons were: George 352 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

Washington, Henry, John Harrison, Jacob Daniel, Peter Alfred, Samuel and William. By some chance these sons of John Zartman started to write the name "Sortman," though they know and ad­ mit this to be erroneous spelling, and are unable to account for it. John F. Zartman, b. in 1840 at New Berlin, Pa., wrote bis name "Sartman." Catherine Zartman, who lived in Sunbury, Pa., and one of a numerous family, said her school teacher taught her and her sisters to spell the name "Sortman." But note now that John Zartman, b. 1810, was the brother of George Zartman, b. 1812. It was this George Sortman who, with bis wife and four sons, mi­ grated from Snyder County, Pa., in 1853 to Dayton, Ohio, and from them are descended the numerous Sortmans in Montgomery and adjacent counties of the Buckeye state. For further information concerning those who have changed the name to Sortman, see the first edition of "The Zartman Fam­ ily," published in Dec. 1909, and for other Sortmans, who lived in Pennsylvania, see pa~es 288-294 and 300-301. Henry C. Zartman, brother of George who migrated to Ohio in 1853, moved, with his wife to Seneca County, Ohio, in 1871. While there a daughter, Nora Jane, was b. 8/11/1872; a son, John, was also born in Ohio; and on their return to Pennsylvania in 1876 a son, William Henry, was born to them. He resided at Nittany, Centre County, Pa., and was a fence builder. On 9/28/- 1907 hem. Rebecca Jane Lutz. Under date of 8/12/1924 William wrote from State College, Pa.: "My parents lived for a while in Ohio, I don't know in what part or for how long a time. I was not, born until after they came back to Pa. I was born at Houser­ ville, Centre County, Pa. I had an aunt, Emma Jane Zartman, unmarried, who died at Troxelville, Pa. I don't know much about my relatives. Father died when I was three years old and when I was four or five I went to a Soldier's Orphans' Home and was there until I was 15 or 16. Mother married again, and never talked much about my father's family. My aunt, Malinda Sowcri,;, is gone now too. She was a good Christian motlier, and belonged to the Methodist church. Her husband died several years ago and they left several children. My sister, Ida, is alive and residefl at Lemont, Centre Co., Pa. She is married to Grant Myers. My younger sister, Lizzie, was married to William Wolf. She died and left a little girl, Emma, who is married now to Wesley Koch. They have four children and live at Jersey Shore, Pa. All I can JACOB ZARTMAN AND FAMILY 353

find about my near relatives is found on page 300 of the History. It is certainly a wonderful book." The author is encouraged by these kind words of appreciation. DAYTON m OTHER SoRTMANS GEORGE SoRTMAN, son of John Zartman, son of Jacob Zartman, Jr., son of Jacob Zartman, Sen., son of Alexander Zartman I, was b. in 1812 in Snyder Co., Pa. He was a chairmaker by trade. In 1853 he moved from Pennsylvania to Dayton, Ohio, where he spent the remainder of his life. On his long and tiresome trip in a farm wagon to the Buckeye state he lost the trunk which con­ tained the family Bible and family records. Those records would be very helpful now in making up this history! George Sortman m. Mariah C. Bassler; they had four sons, all born in Middleburg, Snyder, 0., Pa. They were: Henry Benton, b. 1840; Jacob William, b. 5/20/1842; George Alfred, b. 2/20/- 1845; Charles Calvin, b. 1847. George Sortman and bis wife were members of the Reformed Church and lived useful lives, esteemed by friends and neighbors. George d. 11/4/1881; his wife d. 7/- 10/1895. Both are buried in Dayton, Ohio. Their son, George Alfred, wrote "Our name was changed in school by the teacher, who taught us to spell and write it Sortman. All papers and re­ cords of our family were lost when we moved west. I think the records of the Reformed Church will show that our name was spelled Zartman." We know this to be the fact, and whilst there are today several different spellings of the name we are all de­ scended from one common parentage, Alexander Zartman and his wife, Ann Catharina Zartman. Henry Benton Sortman was a brickmason and contractor. On 2/14/1865 he m. Sarah M. Lehman. He served in the Civil War with the 66th Illinois Sharp Shooters. I. HENRY B.

Alexander and Ann Catharina Zartman, who came from Germ­ any in 1728, had a son Jacob, and one named Alexander, b. 7 /- 29/1731 near Brickerville, Pa. Through these two sons we have the two main branches of the Zartman family in North America. We have now come to the consideration of the Alexander branch, which never grew to such large proportions; but it is very important and interesting. For the sake of clearness we shaJI call Alexander, Jr., the Second. His father is Alexander I. Alexander II attained the age of 72 years and lived all those years in Lancaster Co., Pa., and most likely on the farm which he received as an inheritance from his parents; that is, on the old Zartman homestead at Brickerville. He was, of course, a former; he belonged to the Emanuel Lutheran Church at Brickerville, and is buried there; a stone marks bis resting place nnd that of his wife by the side of his parents. That old farm was owned first by Alexander I, then by Alexander II, next by Emanuel, his son, then by Alexander Ill, son of Alexander II, then by Jacob, son of Alexander III, then by George, son of John Michael, then by Da\'id, son of John Michael, and lastly by William, son of David; a few years ago it passed out of his hands. William was the last Zart­ man to own it. We hope that some Zartman will again reclaim it,. It is a pretty place and has so many grand associations dear to the hearts of all Zartmans. It must be recalled here that Alexander I gave to his older son, Jacob, 71 acres out of the original planta­ tion of 179 acres. It was the smaller farm that continued in the possession of the Zartmans named above. Alexander II married a woman by tho name of Magdalena. Her family name is not known to us. Wc know from records that they had the following seven children, namely: ~aim Michael, b. 5/3/1754; Alexander, b. 3/19/1756; Susanna, b. 10/11/1750; Maria Elizabeth, b. 6/11/1761; Catharine, b. 10/9/1763; Eman­ uel, b. 6/1/1765; Margarcth. The three sons became the heads ALEXANDER ZARTMAN II AND FAMILY 367 of large families. Wc know the daughters, Susanna, Maria. Elizabeth and Margareth, married, because their father in his will speaks of their husbands and of his sons-in-law, but he does not give the names of their husbands, of his sons-in-law. We were unable to ascertain whom they married. Of the three sons we are well informed, and the succeeding chapers will take them up in the order of their births. The last will and testam!'lnt of Alexander II is a very interest-­ ing document, amusing in some of its details and specifications, but really a remarkable writing. It is of record in the Court House at Lancaster, Pa., and written in German. A translation of this will may be found on page 303 of the former history of the Zartman family. Alexander II d. 12/2/1803; we do not have the date of his wife's death. Chapter II

EMANUEL ZARTMAN, SENIOR

EMANUEL ZARTMAN, son of Alexander II, was b. 6/1/1765 in Lancaster County, Pa. According to the last will and testament of his father, Emanuel was to buy the old homestead; the will, dated 9/5/1801, provided that he should have twelve years in which to pay for the farm by annual installments.

To them was born a son Isaac, who lived at Du­ Bois, Pa. When his mother died, his father placed him in the care of his aunt, Magdalene Oberdorf, in Clearfield County, Pa. In this way he became wholly separated from all other Zartmans, and by mere chance we discovered him and his family. Emanuel's second marriage was to Eve Ellenberger, b. 1/21/1803.

Fifty­ five years ago he came to Wooster, Ohio, where the writer was then pastor of the Reformed Church, and called to see the writer, but we were then unable to decipher how we were related, though he and the writer's father were full third cousins, as we know now. Later we also called on him and his family in Harrisburg. Daniel was married to Florence Ailsworth, b. 8/17/1849.

ALEXANDER ZARTMAN II AND FAMILY 401

JACOB ZARTMAN, youngest son of Emanuel and Eve, writes his name Zortman; was proprietor of the Hotel Gi:aham, together with H. M. Griel,,at Newport, Dauphin Co., Pa. He gave us much helpful information. Shortly after our correspondence opened we made the interesting discovery, that his father's photo­ graph was in the possession of the writer. It came to us either through his brother Daniel, or from the collection of pictures that belonged to the writer's father. Jacob Zortman readily identified the photograph, but told us he never knew his father had his picture taken. Jacob, of Newport, and Isaac, of DuBois, half-brothers, had entirely lost trace and knowledge of each other, and had not seen one another since they were little boys.

WAR DATA

Dear Uncle Rufus: I am herewith enclosing the war story of the family, as far as I have found it. I, of course, made no effort to hunt up such records for every family, or for every in-law. This would be impossible for one person to do. But I havr. found that the two sons of Alexander I served in the Revolution, and, since we are all descendants of those two, we are therefore eligible to D.A.R. or S.A.R. on either line. In the Pennsylvania Archives we find Jacob Zartman, un­ doubtedly Jacob, Sr., son of Alexander I, listed in 1771 as a Free­ man in Lancaster County, Pa. Just when he took the oath of the Freeman is not recorded. Jacob Zartman, Sr., served in the Pa. Militia during the Rev­ olutionary War from Northumberland County, where he had moved before 1780. Also in the Pa. Archives we find the name of Jacob Sortman as serving among the Frontier Rangers, Pa. Continental Line, in Stockley's Rangers under John Bum. After much research it was found this was Jacob Zartman, Sr., the com­ pany with which be was serving having undoubtedly been as­ signed for short periods of service in this district. Jacob, Jr., son of Jacob, Sr., son of Alexander I, also gave service during the Revolution as a private of the First Class from Lancaster Co., Pa., serving under Capt. John Moore. During the days of the Revolution a petition was sent to Phil­ adelphia asking that delegates from the several counties be called to the state capitals for the purpose of considering the best means of opposition to the encroachment of the mother country upon the liberties of the American People. Among the delegates chosen in 1774 to represent Augusta Twp., Northumberland Co., Pa., was Henry Zartman, son of Jacob, Sr., son of Alexander I. He served on this Committee of Safety 1774-1777. In 1790 and 1791 he was made constable of Northumberland Co. 404 THB ZARTMAN F .illILY

Alexander Zartman II, son of Alexander, served for several terms in the Lancaster County, Pa. Militia, where he is listed as ''Xander Zartman, sen.," "Ellexandor Zartman" "Ellexander Zortman" and under his correct name "Alexander Zartman." His services were recorded under the companies of Capt. John Ashton, and Capt. Christian Hollinger. Alexander Zartman, III, and Michael Zartman, sons of Alexander II, also served in the Pa. Militia during the Revolutionary War period, 1775-1783. Alexander is recorded as ''Ellexander Zartman," "Ellexander Sortman, Jr.," "Sandy Zartman" and "Xander Zartman, Jr.," as well as Alexander Zartman. He served a number of periods in the same company with his father and brother, Michael, under Capt. John Ashton and Capt. Christian Hollinger. Service between the years 1784 and 1815 entitles a female descendant to membership in the Daughters of 1812. During this period the three sons of Alexander II rendered military ser­ vice, all three serving at one period under Capt. John Ashton in 1784. Michael evidently served longest, 1788, in the 5th Battal­ ion, Lancaster Co. Militia, under Lieut. Col. George Weidman, esq. The father of Elizabeth Hauser, wife of Henry Zartman, whose name was Jacob Hauser, served in the Lancaster Co., Pa. militia for two years under Capt. John Rutherford and Capt. James Murray. Other soldiers in the War of 1812 in Ohio were Jonathan Zart­ man, who was a fifer in the company of Lieut. John Rumberger in the Perry Co., 0., militia, and Henry Zartman of Capt. Jacob Catterline's company, Perry Co., 0., militia. Jonathan Zartman was the son of Peter, son of Jacob, son of Alexander I, who came from Northumberland Co., Pa., to Perry Co., 0., in 1811. Henry was baptized John Henry, and was the son of Henry, son of Jacob, son of Alexander I. John Henry and Jonathan were first cousins, and both came to Ohio with Peter Zartman, father of Jonathan. Peter King, father of Rebecca King Zartman, wife of Isaac Zart­ man, served as corporal in the War of 1812, Capt. Adam Binck­ ley's company, Perry Co., 0., militia. There are many other descendants and kin of the various branches of the Zartman family who served in these and later wars. The Revolutionary service has been cited for Jacob Zart­ man, Sr., and his two sons, Jacob Zartman, Jr., and Henry Zart- Mns, SAll.\11 STRICl!Ltm

In Emanuel churchyard markers have been placed at the graves of war heroes. Revolutionary markers were placed for Alexander Zartman II, for John Michael Zartman, for Alexander Zartman III, and 1812 markers were placed for Alexander Zart­ man III, John Michael Zartman, and Emanuel Zartman. Mrs. May Estella McCaa and Miss Fulton placed the aforenamed markers. The graves of Jacob Zartman, Sr., and of his son, Henry Zartman, both Revolutionary heroes were marked by the Histor­ ian, who is also arranging to mark the grave of Jacob Zartman, Jr., in the cemetery at Schaefi'erstown. The bodies of Jacob Zart­ man, Sr., and of Henry Zartman repose in t7Je Zartman Church cemetery near Otto R.R. Station in Northumberland County. ZARTMAN REUNIONS Ours is a day of family gatherings. They are surely very de­ lightful social functions and productive of much good. In 1906 an agitation started in Ohio for a Zartman family reunion. This movement had its origin with four sisters of the writer, namely, Leah Mechling, Sarah A. Swinehart, Angeline Alspach and Mar­ garet J. Parks; they all resided in Perry County, Ohio, at the place where was the earliest and largest.settlement of Zartmans in that State. A colony of Zartmans from Northumberland County, Pa., settled not far from Somerset in 1809-1811. The four sisters enlisted the interest of other relatives in that community, and two of them, Mrs. Mechling and Mrs. Swinehart, came to Philadelphia in 1907 and obtained the promise of the Historian to assist them in this enterprise, secured our consent to prepare a history for the initial reunion. This agreement led to the pre­ paration and publication of the history of 1909. The sisters and their associates carried their scheme through to a very successful issue. At the foot of Indian Stony Fort, in a beautiful maple grove belonging to Mr. Dennis Cooperrider and Mr. Frank Smith, and close to St. Paul's Church, one mile south of Glenford, the 406 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

first Zartman reunion was held. To that church more Zartmans have belonged than to any other church in Ohio, and there, in its cemetery, forty or more Zartmans are buried. The date for the first reunion was Saturday, 8/29/1908. Invitations were sent to all the relatives known to us at that time. About 300 members of the Zartman family were present, and it was estimated that 1200 or more people assembled for this happy celebration. The weather was ideal, warm and pleasant. Representatives were present from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. For use at this reunion a gavel was made by Aaron Zartman Weidman, of Brickerville, Pa., from wood from the first farm owned by a Zartman in America. Mr. Weidman also made an oak case in which to keep the gavel. During the years a total of seventeen national reunions have been held. In 1938 it was resolved that the national reunions henceforth be held at Brickerville, Pa., every two years on the even years, as 1940, 1942, 1944, 1946, 1948, etc. The primary reunion of.1908 has caused many other Zartman family reunions to have birth, as of counties, cities, states, and by large families.

OTHER ZARTMANS IN AMERICA The descendants of Alexander and Ann Catharina Zartman we have now located in the following States and Territories: Arkan­ sas, Arizona, Alaska, Africa, California, Canada, Colorado, Con­ necticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Mexico, Michigan, Minnesota, Mon­ tana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Panama, Philippine Islands, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming. And many of our brave soldier boys are sleeping beneath the sod of Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, where they gave their lives for Old Glory and the Union. There are two families of Zartmans in the United States, one in Brooklyn and the other in Chicago, that cannot be traced to Alexander and Ann Catharina Zartman. The ancestral heads of these two families may have been brothers or other near rela­ tions of Alexander Zartman I. As yet these two families arc small, OTHER ZARTMANS IN AMERICA 407 but in a century the historian of that time may find them grown into large tribes and scattered throughout this great and good land. Frederick Zartpiann was born in Germany about the year 1819; he learned the trade of bookbinding. His father had a glove fac­ tory in Berlin, Germany. Later he located in Bergen, Norway, and there married Anna Henriette Peterson. He was engaged in the book bindery business in Norway; had the misfortune to be burned out, lost all, and then came to America, locating in Chi­ cago. This took place early in the 60's. He enlisted and served in our Civil War, in Co. H, 82d Illinois, under Colonel Hecker and Captain Fry. To Frederick and Anna Henriette Zartmann was born one child, a son, Charles Frederick, b. 12/24/1867, in Chi­ cago. Charles Frederick Zartmann is a painter by trade; was in the employ of Franklin McVeagh & Co., grocers; in charge of their labeling department. On 9/28/1889, hem. Libbie Hogeland. They belong to the Lutheran Church. Children: Alvira, b. 8/- 3/1890; Conrad C., b. 6/26/1892; Arthur C., b. 12/4/1894; Le­ roy G., b. 11/10/1896; Leslie, b. 3/26/1898; Ruby, b. 11/26/- 1899. Alvira, Conrad C. and Ruby Zartmann are deceased. Con­ rad d. in 1908. Arthur, Leroy and Leslie Zartmann remain in this family to perpetuate the name and make it honorable in future generations. Frederick Zartmann d. about 1886. For this in­ formation about our Chicago cousins we are indebted to Charles Williard Vogt, of Chicago, son of Magdalene Zartman Vogt. Under date of 11/30/1908, a certain William J. Zartmann, re­ siding in Brooklyn, N. Y., wrote as follows: "I was born in Neck­ arsulm, Wurtemberg, 44 years ago, and came to this country with my parents in the seventies. My father's name was Gustav, mother's Rosina, grandfather's Philip and grandmother's Wil­ helmina. There is quite a number of the family left in Neckar­ sulm, and we also have relatives of the same name in Pforzheim, Baden, and, I believe, in Dusseldorf. Otherwise I know but very little about our relatives on the other side, correspondence hav­ ing practically ceased upon the death of my father, some ten years ago. I am Superintendent of Parks in Brooklyn, and I would be very glad to meet you personally at some time in the near future." Under date of 1/14/1909, he writes: "As to my family, I am sorry to say that my information is very limited, having left my birthplace when I was less than 10 years old, and visited the old home but once since that time. There was quite a number of 408 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

Zartmann families in Neckarsulm, all related. I have a very slight recollection that my great grandfather's name was John, but am not certain. Both my father's and mother's families are very much scattered and I have therefore had very little chance to discuss family matters. My father (Gustav) often spoke about some relations of the family who had taken up their domicile in the Rhine country, probably in the Palatinate, at some time during the eighteenth century, but I have never met any of these rela­ tives." Philip Zartmann, of Germany, grandfather of William J. Zart­ mann, had the following family: Gustav, b. 8/2/1834; Theodore, d. 1870, Neckarsulm; Heinrich, d. about 1900, Pforzheim, Baden; Louise, m. Wohrle; Ottilie, m. Gross, of Pforzheim, Baden; Am­ elia, m. Koeniger, of Darmstadt, Hessen; Anna, m. Becker, Pforzheim; Bertha, unm., lives in Brooklyn, N. Y. In 1862 Gustav Zartmann m. Rosa Henny, in Neckarsulm, Germany. To them were born the following children: William J., b. 6/24/1864; Paul, Brooklyn; Henry T., Glendale, Long Island; Louise, Brooklyn; Philip and Rosa, whose addresses are unknown. Gustav Zartmann, wife and family, and his sister, Bertha, came to America in the seventies, possibly in 1873, and located in Brooklyn, N. Y. Gustav Zartmann d. 6/4/1897. William J. Zartmann m. 11/27/1895, Emily Standinger; they belong to the Lutheran Church, reside at 1908 Avenue K., Brook­ lyn, and have two daughters, Clementine Florence, b. 9/27/1896; and Dorothy Anna, b. 2/25/1899. GERMANY AND DENMARK The writer's father, Isaac Zartman, being able to write in German as well as English, used to correspond with Zartmanns in Frankfurt, Germany. In July 1908 we decided to get into correspondence with some of our relatives in the fatherland. So as we did not then know the name of any Z~rtmann over there, we wrote a Jetter and addressed it thus: "To Any Zartmann, Frankfurt on the Main, Germany." Through a kind good fortune our letter was delivered to Annie ("Any") Zartmann, school teacher, in Frankfurt. She replied promptly in a very interesting letter, and wondered how we had ever learned of her name and address; however, a little later she surmised that our letter was for "any" one bearing the name of Zartmann, and not for GERMANY AND DENMARK 409

her in particular. We were delighted that the letter went into her hands, because she writes English very :well, and being well educated, was able to give us much information. She has written us a number of interesting letters. She made known to us Ferdinand Zartmann, M. D., of Karlsruhe, who has also given us valuable assistance. Rev. James I. Good, D. D., of Philadel­ phia, was in Germany and also gathered some information for us, calling on Dr. Ferdinand Zartmann, at Karlsruhe, and on Mr. Eugene Zartmann, in Heidelberg. Cousin Alfred Zartman, of Kansas City, Mo., in years past also exchanged letters with Zartmanns across the Atlantic, and he has given us the benefit of some of his findings. As our first information from Germany came to us through the pen and courtesy of Anna Zartmann we shall give her family priority of place in this chapter. The name of her father was Franz (Francis) Zartmann, son of Mathias, a well-known physi­ cian in Rheydt (Rheinland). Dr. Mathias Zartmann had four sons and three daughters, as follows: Gustav, Otto, Franz, Os­ kar, Anna, Augusta and Theressa. The four brothers had large cotton manufactories in Rheydt; later they separated and lived in different towns. They all married except Oskar, who died young. Anna and Augusta died young, too. Theressa married Mr. Niedecker, an architect, and lived in Bonn on the Rhine. Mrs. Niedecker is a widow, and lives with her two daughters in Berlin. Gustav Zartmann lived in Cologne and was in very good circumstances; he d. in July, 1907. He had four children, viz.: Theressa, Maria, Oskar and Gustav. The two daughters are with their mother in Cologne. Oskar is a lawyer at St. Goar on the Rhine. Gustav is a merchant at Dusseldorf. Otto, son of Dr. Mathias Zartmann, was a merchant and lived in Berlin; he d. about 1893. Otto had four children, viz.: Otto, Paul, Augusta and Catherine. Otto d. aged 18 years. Paul is a bank functionary in Berlin; he is married and has a son. Augusta is married and lives at Aachen. Catherine is a schoolteacher in Berlin. Franz Zartmann, father of Anna, our correspondent, lived in Berlin; he had three children: Anna, Franz, and Gertrude. Anna Zart,. me.nu is finely educated; she speaks German, English, French, Italian and Spanish; she writes the English remarkably well. Anna Zartmann, of Frankfurt, in the interest of Zartmann family history made a trip to Cologne, Bonn and St. Goar and 410 THE ZARTMAN FAMILY

did much writing to Zartmanns in Germany to gather informa­ tion. She says: "There is no Zartmann in Germany that belongs to another family." That is no doubt the case, and therefore it ought to be comparatively easy to trace the line back to the orig­ inal Zartmann. We wish we had a chance at it. Again Anna asked, "Do you know with whom your father corresponded in Germany? With my Father!" Her father at that time was yet alive, and confirmed the above statement, I bad thought probably correct. In the summer of 1896 when I was in Scotland, I received a letter from my father, Isaac Zart­ man of Perry County, Ohio, who wrote, "When you get into Germany do call on that Zartman in Frankfort with whom I used to correspond. I think his name is Frank." That confirms the claim of Anna that our fathers corresponded with each other. My father d. 3/5/1901 and did not get to read and to enjoy our family history. Anna's father is also deceased, but her sister and brother survive. In Nov. 1913 Anna Zartmann m. Reginald Jones, a Welshman, of Liverpool, England. Mr. Jones served all through the World War; his wife was living in Liverpool, and in those hectic years she gave birth to a son, whom she named Frank. After the War they came to Winnipeg, Canada, where both Mr. and Mrs. Jones taught in the University of Manitoba. In Feb. 1928 the historian visited them and for the first time saw them face to face, though an exchange of letters had continued since the summer of 1908. The son Frank Zartmann during the years has graduated four times and been decorated with various scholastic degrees. Mr. Jones has died, though he came through the World War unhurt. The mother and son continue residence in Winnipeg. Andrew Joseph Zartmann was b. 11/29/1799, at Bonn, and he became a well known physician; his wife's name was Anna Cath­ arina. They lived together 55 years. Dr. Andrew Joseph Zart­ mann d. at Bonn 4/9/1894. Dr. Ferdinand Zartmann, of Karlsruhe, an eminent physician, and eye specialist, had a theory that the Zartmanns origim,ted in Erlenbach. He went there to verify this theory, but failed in doing so. He writes: "Since the year 1650 there is a certain num­ ber of Zartmann names inscribed in the lists of births and deaths at Erlenbach, but none of the name Alexander or Georg Christ­ oph Zartmann, the latter my great grandfather. Nevertheless GERM.ANY AND DEN.MARX 411

I shall continue my investigations and perhaps some day I shall be so happy as to bring light into the darkness," Again be wrote: "My great grandfather (Georg Christoph Zartmann) about 1780 crune with the late Prince Elector of Cologne to the Rhine, and from him descended the few Zartmann families in Prussia. We came from Constadt, near Stuttgart. In other parts of Wurtem­ berg, especially at Neckarsulm and its environs, there are still many Zartmanns, but not so many as in America." Dr. Ferdinand Zartmann bad a son, Robert, a distinguished artist. For 18 years prior to the World War be lived in Paris, where his paintings were awarded high place. The writer possesses some of his works, which are greatly admired, and corresponded for many years. On the day that Dr. Ferdinand Zartmann wrote his last letter to us and signed his name for the last time be was 86 years of age, and on that day and date be died. We secured the Coat of Arms through an experienced research man of Stuttgart in 1936, and copies of it are now in many Zart­ man homes in America. At Stuttgart there is an Anton Zartmann, who is superinten­ dent of trains. There are many Zartmanns at N eckarsulm and Heilbronn. The Catholic priest at Neckars, Germany, wrote as follows: "I have bunted-searched for a long time-for the name of Alexander Zartmann, but can not exclaim with the Greek: 'Eureka.' The family register of my Parish only dates back to 1805. The Parish register, however-baptisms, marriages and funerals-dates back to 1600. But nowhere is the name of Alex­ ander Zartmann to be found. Later on, however in the middle of the 18th century, the Zartmanns (coming from Erlenbach) ap­ pear more numerous, and at the present time are one of the strong­ est represented families in the city, including besides vineyard keepers, builders and contractors, artists and sculptors, also scholars highly gifted and respected. The most celebrated one is the sculptor, Johannes Matthaeus Zartmann, who died a few years ago. He made the large IGlian Monument, erected in the market place at Mergentheim, and also a Moehler Statue in marble for the church at bis home lgersheim. One of bis sons is also a sculptor, one a priest in South America, one a scholar, a Ph.D., one of his daughters a nun. More to report, I am unable.'' In a recent letter Josef Zartmann, of Neckarsulm, Germany, writes of the traits of the Zartmanns as he knows them. I quote: 412 THE ZAllT!olAN FAMILY

"The Zartmanns were always hale and a strong people. Through their prudence and popularity they everywhere soon endeared themselves. They quickly accommodated themselves to circum­ stances, and through their mental versatility they were able to help themselves in all life situations. Those who took up trades and arts achieved great skill. The Zartmanns were always es­ pecially inclined toward labors of an artistic bent. Many works testify to the highest artistic skill. In public life the Zartmanns always took an honored part. As representatives of the people they always made great sacrifices and were ever ready to devote themselves to the welfare of their fellowmen." He writes further: "I have noted that throughout hundreds of years the character, nature, and even outward expression of the Zartmanns have clearly maintained themselves."

THE DANISH ZARTMAN FAMILY In 1715 a Zartm'an went from Germany to Denmark and founded there a branch of this family. Recently Dr. Parley E. Zartmann of Chicago got into correspondence with a Zartman in Copenhagen and secured the interesting family history which is given below. Dr. Parley E. Zartmann writes: Last June a man came to our house to tune the piano and while be was there he asked Mrs. Zartmann whether we had any relatives in Denmark. She told him the information given in the Family History. Then he said that he was from Copenhagen and that he knew Christian Zartmann, who was considered the finest artist in all Denmark. Not long afterwards I wrote to Christian Zartmann telling him of the information I had received and giv­ ing him some particulars regarding the family in America. The enclosed is the reply I finally received to my letter. Again, at the opening of our Winter Term in January one of the students, who came from New York City, asked me if I liad any relatives in Copenhagen, and told me that be knew a Zartmann who is con­ nected with the Navy. Possibly you can give the man some in­ formation regarding the family in Germany. Copenhagen, April 16, 1914 Dear Sir: My uncle the painter Zartman has sent me your interesting letter of July 5th, and asked me on account of my occupation for GERMANY AND DENMARK 413

several years with the history of the Danish branch of the family of Zartman to give you the desired information. I am familiar with the fact that a family of the name of Zart­ man counting many members was in existence in Pennsylvania. Through the Danish consulate in Philadelphia I have received the names of some of these members, including yours, and I in­ tended to write you a letter in the hope that there might be some relationship between our families. The Danish family of Zartman numbers only a very few mem­ bers. It descends from Johann Heinrich Zahrtmann who was born at Magdeburg, (Germany) and came to Denmark in the year of 1715. He served in the army as a cavalryman and mar­ ried a Danish girl, Giertrud Bodsen, by whom he had three boys and two girls. In the year of 1738 he died as "Comet" at Vordin­ borg. The names of the sons of Johann Heinrich Zahrtmann were Johann Henrich, Friedrich, and Christopher. The eldest of them, who was b. at Store Hedinge 1723, was a clergyman and the only one who left male descendants, one boy by name Henrich Christian Zartman b. 1762. He was Dean at Viborg. Hem. 1791 Bodil Jochumine Fetens and d. 1826. His children are the following: A. Christian Christopher Zartman b. Viborg 1793, d. 1853. Vice-Admiral, Minister of Marine. Hem. 1826 Elisabeth Donner of Altona, and left behind three daughters: 1. Elisabeth, b. 1828, m. Vicomte Joaquino de Roberedo. 2. Bodild Jochumine, b. 1830, m. 1850 feudal Count Holstein-Holsteinborg. 3. Wanda S. E. Candia, b. 1842, m. 1863 Count Danneskjold-Samsoe. B. Johan Henrich Zartman, b. 1800, clergyman, m. 1833 Marie Dorothea Poulsen, he d. 1869, leaving four sons and three daugh­ ters, only one of whom, Christian Christopher Zartman, b. 1843, has a son, Henrich Christian Zartman, (the writer), b. 1876, m. 1910 Henri ca Johanne Helt Petersen. One of the daughters, Mette Sophie Zartman is the directress of the Danish Deaconesses Insti­ tution and decorated with the Medal of Merit. C.

ing seven sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Kristian Zart­ man, b. 1843, is the known artist, unmarried. E. Hans Jorgen Zartman, b. 1815, d. 1863 Superintendent in the Post Office, unmarried. The second son of the founder of the family, Friderick, b. 1726, d. 1803, left behind only one girl, Christine Marie, who had a son, the celebrated actor, Joachim Ludwig Phister, (1807-1896). Referring to the members of the family in Germany I have also been corresponding with them, but it has not been possible to get any information about those who were living before the year of 1715. I suppose that the family only lived a short time at Magdeburg and was driven away from tho neighborhood of Heidelberg-Heilbronn about 1680-90 during the formidable devastations in the war between Germany and France. As it would be very interesting for me to read the family history you were writing me about I beg you be so kind as to tell me the title of the book.

ERRATA IN COUNTY MARRIAGE RECuRDS

JOSEPHINE C, DIEFENBACH In searching Perry County, Ohio, marriage records for the data of the families of Alexander Zartman, his brother, Samuel Zart­ man, and his cousin, Peter Zartman, several errors were discov­ ered. These were undoubtedly made when the data was copied from the very old, first marriage-record-book into the present records. It seems wise for the sake of future generations to make note of these errors in the new History. They are: In the entry of the first marriage of Israel Zartman, oldest son of Alexander Zartman IV, the name of Isaac is given, instead of that of Israel, as marrying Sarah Helser 5 /11 /1832. Proof of this error was easily obtained from Rufus C. Zartman, son of Isaac and Rebecca Zartman, William H. Parks, son-in-law of Isaac and Rebecca Zartman, and a number of their grandsons ERRATA IN COUNTY MARRIAGE RECORDS 416 and granddaughters. Further proof may be found on the tomb­ stone of Israel Zartman in the southwest corner of the cemetery adjacent to the St. Paul's Reformed Church near Glenford, Perry County, Ohio. On the face of the shaft are recorded the name and dates for Israel, on the one side appears the following "Sarah, wife of Israel Zartman," etc., while on the other side is the data for "Elizabeth Foster" who was the second wife of Israel Zartman. The following marriage records are also incorrect: Elizabeth Zartman to Joseph Miller 4/20/1820; Ruhanna Zartman to Thomas Foree.ere 2/2/1823; Susannah Zartman to Adam God­ love 4/28/1825; Sarah Zartman to William Fickle 6/16/1825; Catherine Zartman to William Appleman 12/30/1825; Lewis Zartman to Mary Lashly 10/19/1826; Easter Zartman to Sam­ uel Palmer 10/19/1826; Sarah Zartman to Wesley Ogg 9/1/1831; Cevilla Zartman to Lewis Appleman 8/18/1831; Ahia Zartman to Ann Moor 6/3/1832; Nancy Zartman to Hanck's Moore 6/- 23/1833 (this appears again on page 149 on the records where the name of the groom is given M Uriah Moore). In every one of these instances the name appearing as "Zart­ man" should be "Tatman." The marriages were in the majority of cases performed by Thos. Porter, esq., whom, we found, to be resident of Bearfield Township, Perry County, Ohio. A thorough search of the census records of Perry County, Ohio, of 1820-1830, on file in Washington, D. C., did not show any Zartman as being an inhabitant of Bearfield Twp. during the period when these marriages were performed; but they did show that many families by the name of Tatman resided in that township, among them being a Lewis Tatman. In the search to make the proof positive that these were not Zartmans but Tatmans, many t,rips were made to various parts of southeastern Ohio, several to Washing­ ton, D. C., and many letters were written. We have on file letters from Mrs. H. M. Rankin of Washington Court House, Ohio, from A. G. Masterson of Malta, Ohio, S. E. Appleman of Zanes­ ville, Ohio, Wm. Talbot of Crooksville, Ohio, all descendants of one or another of the above marriages, and in every instance the descendant states that the name was Tatman. On 6/24/1941, statements, with affidavits, were filed with the Probate Judge of Perry County, Ohio, in which these errors were pointed out and the request was made that the corrections be entered.

INDEX

This index, although not entirely exhaustive, will guide relatives who do not bear the name of Zartman in finding their branch of the family. Zartmans may locate themselves by intermarriage names appearing here or by the Table of Contents in the front of the book.
