DEATH Of EDWARD
/. HARTMAN
The Worlds Greatest
Railroad Organizer
Death the Only Opponent He Could
Not Defeat.

On Sept. 9. at Arden, \. Y, Edward
H. Hartman, the greatest organizer
of railroads the world has known, met
the everlasting defeat of his active
life in death. Secluded in his mag
nificent home on Tower hill, sur
rounded by members of his family,
physicians and nurses. he succumbed
to an intestinal disorder this after
noon, after a fight against disease
which will rank for sheer grit with
his remarkable struggles in the finan-
cial world.
Mr. Hartman was born in Hemp
stead, l.. l., Feb. 25, 1S4S, the third
son of Rev. Orlando Hartman, Jr.,
rector of ST. Georges Episcopal
church at Hampstead. His mother
came from an old and aristocratic
family of New Brunswick. N. j. The
family was in humble circumstances
and the youth who was to become a
multimillionaire knew no Injuries
and worked hard for the little edu-
cation he received At 16 he received
employment as an errand boy in a
brokers' Office in Wall Street. He
developed into an astute lad, always
looking for chance to better him
self and before he was 23 years old
had bought a seat on the New York
Stock Exchange and paid for it with
$4,000 he had made on speculation.
During the years that he had been
an errand boy and a brokers' clerk,
he had never forgotten what his early
years of privation had taught him
that each dollar represented 100 pen
MES, each with purchasing power.
He learned his elementary lessons
in finance in the school of Jim" Fisk,
Jay Gould and Commodore Wander
bilt, and emerged broker on his
own account devoid of sentiment in
business, as was shown later when
he fought and ousted from the presi-
QenCy OF ID6 ILLINOIS, SeuIIdl hdlllodu
Stuyvesant Fish, a man who had
probably done as much to help young
Hartman on his career as any other
man now living and who had years
before made him vice president of the
road.
Mr.. Harriman's wife was Miss
Mary Averill of Rochester, N. Y,
whose father, w. J. Averill, banker
was largely interested in the Rome,
Amsterdam & Ogdensburg Railroad
and had large means. The marriage
proved a most happy one. Five chill
dren were born-three girls and two
boys. The eldest daughter is the wife
of Robert L. Gerry, son of Commo-
dore Elbridge T. Gerry. The second
daughter is Mary and the third Carroll.
The eldest son, Walter Ayerill, is just
out of college and Is learning the
railroad business. The youngest,
Roland, is ii years old and still in
school.

MOORE REUNION.

The annual reunion of the Moore
family occurred at Lakewood. We'd
nesday, Sept l. Despite the fact
that it rained in torrents about thirty
were present.
After partaking of one of Delanos
famous dinners the meeting was
called to order by the vice president,
Mrs Alice Savage Baker.
The program was very short, as
most of those who were to have par
ticipated were not present. Short
speeches were made by Augustine
Simmons of North Arson, Ben Moore
of Boston, and others.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are as follows: President Alice
Savage Baker; vice president, Emma
Dunton; secretary and treasurer,
Morrill, Moore
Among those from out of town were
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Moore of Boston;
Mrs. Bangs of Vermont, and Mrs.
Pulsifer of Waterville.
While the number was very small
in comparison with former years,
when the attendance has been from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred,
all agreed that undoubtedly such a
delightful rain when it was so much
needed, was Of more benefit than a
large gathering. The meeting ad-
journed to meet at Lakewood the
fourth Wednesday of August, 1910.
