HARTMAN, Ellen Crodian - Putnam

Miss Ellen Crodian daughter of Henry L. and Mary Crodian, was born in Virginia June 17, 1824. She came with her parents to Indiana when she was but a child. She was joined in marriage to George D. Hartman Jan 28, 1879 when quite young.  Later she united with the Christian Church and her life bears record that she kept and practice the faith waiting the all of the white-winged messenger which came Nov 25, 1909.  Grandma Hartman had sojourned here for 85 years 5 months and 8 days and except one sister, Mrs. McGaughey was the last of her immediate family, having been preceded to the unseen shore by four sisters and two brothers. She leaves many relatives and friends to mourn her departure. But they mourn not as those who have no hope. Thanks to God who giveth Lord Jesus Christ.
