Additional Comments: Temporal affiliation was based on range of death dates on observed headstones.  These dates ranged from 1918 through 1989.  Site is not marked on the USGS Garden City map sheet, but it is marked on local realty maps and labeled as the “Hartman Cemetery.”

 

This cemetery was surveyed by the RVHS and recorded as the “Hartman IV” cemetery (1986:  135).  Their report provided biographical information derived from three headstones which predated 1921.  The following information was also derived from headstones and provides a complete listing of information available during the 1998 survey.
