land. who were constantly with him, assembled at the bedside with Dr. W. c. Lyle, Orlando Hartman. a brother, and the nurses.
 Mir. Hartman was born in Hemp stead, N. T.. Feb. D. 1S4S. the third son of the Rev. Orlando Hartman, .Ir, rector of st. Georges Episcopal church at HCmpStCad. His mother came from an old and arist0rratic family of New Brunswick. N. j. The family was in humble circumstances. and the youth who was to become q multimilliunaire worked hard for the little education he received.
 At sixteen he found employment as an crrand hoy in d brokers office in Wall strict Before he was twenty three years old he had bought a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and paid for it with $20,000 that he had made in speculation.
 He learned his elementary lessons in finance in the school of Jim Fisk. Jay Gould and old Commodore Vanderbilt and emerged a broker on his own ac- count devoid of sentiment in business, slS Nb Nli'N IT W htll llt bhNNth AANlh the presidency of the Illinois Central railroad Stuyvesant Fish. a man who had years before made him vice presi- dent of the road.
 Outside of his business Hartman found time or cared for little but his family and q single hobby-the build ing of great estate. The metamor- phOSiS of his place here from q rocky country forest into a kings park with a palace atop it's crest is well known. The work k still unfinished.
 Mir Harriman's wife was Miss Mary Averil of Rochester. N r.. whose fa- ther, w. !. Averill, banker, was largely interested in the Rome Am sterdam and Ogdensburg railroad and had large means. The marriage proved a most happy one. Five chil- dren were born. three girls and two boys. The eldest daughter is the wife of Robert l.. Gerry, son of Commodore Eldridge T. Gerry. The second dau~h- ter is Mary and the third Carol. The eldest son, Walter Averill. Is just out of college and is learning the railroad business. The youngest. Roland. k fourteen YFnrs old and still in school.
 Harriman's success was not without early struggles. He made his debut as a railroad man in 1883. when he was made a director of the Illinois Central road. He was then worth a million dollars. He established close relations with James Stillman and be came a member of the banking firm of Loeb, Hartman X Co.
 At the time the Union Pacific stock was going begging and the road was the despair of many moneyed inter ests. whose Drains and capital had failed to place it on Il paying basis. Hartman, backed by Kuhn. Loeb X Co. and Standard Oil interests. under took the rehabilitation of the railroad. Through his transcendent genius he converted the bankrupt company into one of the best dividend payers.
 The funeral was private, and only personal friends of the family were admitted. The choir of Grace church. New York. sang Mir. Hariman's fa- vuritr hymuS and Dr. McGunc>s. Mir llmrjmHu'~ chaplain. delivered d lup- mrriu3 aGdrr%~. Archde1ron Nelson , OtEcialed at the grave.
