Co., Wheeling W.Va., 1911 Pages 555-556 Dr. J. F. Hartmann was the first resident physician of the town [Burnt House]. He was born in Barbour county, on February 16, 1857, and there spent six years of his early life as a school teacher. He was graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore in 1881, and came to this village the same year, and began the practice of his profession. On January 9, 1883, he was married to Miss Florilla F. Austin, eldest daughter of the late P. S. Austin, and has ever since resided at the Austin homestead. He is a Democrat in political faith, and a leading figure in church and Sunday-school circles. And though a man of marked ability, he has never held a public office. Four of his children died in early childhood, and three survive; viz., Miss Jessie, who is a prominent young teacher, and Karl and Fleet Hartmann. ------------------------------------------------------------------- From Death Certificate, Gilmer County, WV #10456 FULL-NAME: James Fleet Hartman BIRTH-DATE: February 16, 1857 BIRTH-PLACE: Philippi, W.Va.
