 Note |
Michael F. Hartwick and his wife, Mina, came from Germany in 1856 and stayed a year in Wisconsin. The next year he drove through to this locality with his sons, Fred, Ferdinand F. and Herman F., and settled on the farm now occupied by Ferdinand's widow, Mrs. Pauline Hartwick. Fred married Sophia Nicklas in 1869. His oldest children are Anna (Mrs. Jacob Brunner), Ida (Mrs. Dite Cass), Lena (Mrs. Ferdinand F. Brunkow), and Herman. Fred moved to the farm belonging to his youngest son, Robert, in 1869. In 1872 or 1873 he built the stone house that stands on this place. He is now living near Belvue. Ferdinand married Miss Pauline Schwandt in the fall of 1876. He died on the old home place in June, 1892. Herman F. married Hannah Buchholz in the fall of 1876. He moved into the stone house on George Mitz's farm about 1870, and bought the place, his present home, in 1874. Michael Hartwick built his first house when he located here of unhewn logs. In 1872 or 1873 he built himself a new log house, the logs of which were hewn. He lived in this last house until 1869, when he moved it to northwest of August Kolterman's for the use of renters who worked this farm, which is now owned by Fred's oldest son, Herman. Mr. Hartwick's name illustrates the evolution of a person's cognomen. His name was originally Hartwig. When he applied for naturalization papers the clerk of the court, from the pronunciation of the name, judged it was spelled Hartwick, and wrote it so. The mistake was not discovered by Mr. Hartwick until afterward, and , as he had no expectancy of falling heir to property in Germany, let the name go as it had been written. Michael Hartwick died in December, 1899. His wife, who had been confined to her bed for several years, passed away in August, 1892. In October, 1864, O.J. Grover organized a company of militia of the early settlers, under the laws of the state, and was elected captain of it. Robert Woolley was first lieutenant,and Mose [sic] Day, sr., was the second lieutenant. Among the private members of the company whose names can be recalled are: William Garrett, Marion Garrett, C.B. Huffman, David Callaway, John Moll, Flave Crawford, Sam Taylor, Ernest Henneberg, Julius Teske, Charles Zabel, Fred Hartwick, Jake Hoover, Jim Stewart, John Hupfer, Almon Benton, L.M. Benedict, Tom Giles, and William Kolterman. There were about sixty men in the company. Tom Giles was the company cook, and Sam Taylor teamster. The company was called to the front by the Federal government to suppress the Confederate raider, General Price. While the company was stationed near the Missouri-Kansas line it happened one night that C.B. Huffman and John Hupfer were posted as guards. It was not long till they were approached by a party who wanted to enter the lines, but was commanded to stop. He explained he was the governor of Kansas (Kearney), but the boys had orders to let no one pass, and refused to let him proceed as he wished, although Mr. Huffman knew him well. So one of the two guards was detailed to escort the governor to regimental headquarters, under Col. J.B. Hubbell, who later kept store in Onaga; while the other one stayed by his post until the other should return. The company never saw actual warfare, and doubtless were thankful that they should have escaped its horrors. ----- MICHAEL F. HARTWICH Miss Lorna Hartwich, Colorado Springs, CO, has gathered much interesting information about Michael Frederick Hartwich, who was born at Suckow, Prussia (Germany). She is the great-granddaughter of Michael Hartwich and he was the great-grandfather of Paul Hartwich. Michael was born in 1814, and came to America in 1856, going to Monroe, Wisc., before leaving for Kansas with an ox team. He arrived near Duluth with a portion of the one hundred fifty dollors he had when he left Wisconsin for Kansas. He homesteaded land near Duluth that was to belong to his family until their deaths and for the next hundred years. Their seconbd son, Ferdinand F. Hartwich, was born in 1850. He and his wife, Pauline Schwandt Hartwich, lived with his father and mother after their wedding, and helped them farm. Ferdinand died at the age of 42. His wife was left to raise their children, ranging in age from 18 months to 14 years. His mother, Anna, (Mrs. Michael Hartwich) died a few months later. After Anna died, her husband continued to live at the homestead until he was killed by a steer. Mrs. Ferdinand Hartwich remained on the farm until her son, William, got married. At that time, she went to live with her daughter, Matilda (Mrs. Wash) Miller. Later she moved to Onaga where she resided until her death in 1921. Ferdinand and Pauline's son, August, farmed with his mother until he married Cora Hirsch of Laclede. they lived on the farm which is now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Hartwich. August died suddenly in 1933, and his son, Paul, and his mother lived on the farm until 1940, when Cora moved to Wamego and Paul married Sylvia Bonjour. They had five children. Lorna Hartwich's parents were Charles Frank Hartwich, a brother of August Hartwich, and Emma Schankie. Emma had lived with the Ferdiand Hartwich family from 1890 until her marriage in 1900. HERMAN F. HARTWICK Mr. and Mrs. Herman F. Hartwick were long-time residents of Mill Creek Township and the city of Onaga. Mr. Hartwick was born in Ihna, Germany, Martch 18, 1854. At the age of two years, he came to America by boat with his parents and two brothers, Frederick and Ferdinand. They came to Kansas, traveling over unbroken ground where Indian trails were the only highways, and homesteaded eight miles northwest of Onaga. Mrs. Hartwich (Hanna L.)was born January 31, 1856. She came to America with her parents, Christian and Augusta Buchholz, and brother, August. |
