PHILIP HARTMAN

  Philip Hartman, one of the oldest residents of this place, died very 
suddenly on Monday afternoon from general debility due to old age from which 
he had been suffering for several months.  Deceased took to his bed about 
three weeks ago and his decline was very rapid until death claimed him.  
Prior to his illness Mr. Hartman was remarkably well preserved and during 
the summer months quite frequently walked to and from Prescott a distance of 
6 miles to visit friends at his former home.  At the time of his death 
deceased was aged 86 years, 4 months and 29 days.  Surviving him is his aged 
wife, one daughter Mrs. Emma Beckley with whom he resided, and two sons, Abe 
of Schafferstown; Charles of Akron, Lancaster Co.  The funeral took place 
this Friday morning from the home of his daughter, W. Main Street.  A short 
service was conducted at the house by Rev. J. Lewis Fluck, and the remains 
were conveyed overland to Reinhold's Station, Lancaster Co. where services 
were conducted in the Swamp Reformed church by Rev. Sweitzer; interment was 
made in cemetery adjoining church.  The family and friends of departed left 
with the early morning train for the place of obsequies.
