BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE



George Edward Hartman, son of Frederick and Margaret (Mitchell) Hartman, was born July 10, 1868 in Shelby County, Illinois. After spending the first twenty-four years of his life on his father’s farm, George left for Minnesota and South Dakota where he worked as a grain scooper, a janitor, and as a helper in a father-daughter dental practice. Working in the dental practice probably influenced Hartman’s career choice, as he enrolled in the Western Dental College in Kansas City in 1897. He finished his studies at the Omaha Dental College in 1900. During his training in Omaha, Hartman worked with the local dentist in Randolph, Nebraska. After receiving his degree, Dr. Hartman began full-time practice in Randolph, staying there until 1947.



In that year, he moved to Wayne and set up practice there. He retired in 1967 and lived in Blair until his death on January 22, 1970. Dr. Hartman was married to Bertha Mae Locke in 1899. Together they had five children. Bertha died in 1922 and in the following year Dr. Hartman married Grace Hall. One son was born during this marriage. Grace Hartman died in 1932.

About History Nebraska
History Nebraska was founded in 1878 as the Nebraska State Historical Society by citizens who recognized Nebraska was going through great changes and they sought to record the stories of both indigenous and immigrant peoples. It was designated a state institution and began receiving funds from the legislature in 1883. Legislation in 1994 changed History Nebraska from a state institution to a state agency. The division is headed by Interim Director and CEO Jill Dolberg. They are assisted by an administrative staff responsible for financial and personnel functions, museum store services, security, and facilities maintenance for History Nebraska.
