From Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Rock, Green, Grant, Iowa and Lafayette Wisconsin, publ. 1901 - page 566-567WILLIAM HARTWIG in his life filled an honorable place among the industrious and useful citizens of Green county, who were content to return an honest day for a day's wages, and glad to deal squarely and fairly with all they met.Mr. HARTWIG was born in Germany in 1825, and married Sophie HABERMAN in his native land, the young couple coming to the United States in 1849. Here Mr. HARTWIG made the beginning of an industrious and highly useful career by doing day's work. His children were: ‎(1)‎ Christian, born in 1850, married Elizabeth HENN. ‎(2)‎ William, born in 1852, married Mary ANSMEIR, and died in 1887. ‎(3)‎ Ferdinand, born in 1855, died thirty years later. ‎(4)‎ Mary, born in 1861, married Ferdinand AUSMUS, a farmer in Green county. Mrs. Sophie HARTWIG, born in 1825, survives her husband, who died in 1890.Mr. HARTWIG was in very desperate circumstances at the time of his arrival in Wisconsin, but his industry, economy and unflinching integrity, aided by the efforts of his faithful wife, in the course of a few years greatly changed conditions, and he soon became one of the large land owners of the county. He was a Republican politically, and a member of the Evangelical Church at Juda, Wis. Mr. HARTWIG in his late years disposed of the greater part of his farming land, and was about to move to Juda, where he had bought property and planned to spend his old age with his cherished wife, when he died. Mrs. HARTWIG lives in Juda, and her granddaughter, Miss Lydia HARTWIG, lives with her, and is highly cherished by her acquaintances. Mrs. HARTWIG has been a member of the Evangelical Church for many years.
