Elizabeth Maurer signed a will dated February 16, 1895. This is will 9:419 in the county record. Letters of administration are found in 2:38. The will mentions that her son Aaron is dead and his wife gets nothing, the children of Aaron each get $5 and their names are George, Francis, Daniel, and Elisabeth.
Others mentioned are:
Catharne, wife of Charles Knarr
Hennah, wife of Emanuel Gheras
Enjaline, wife of Jerome Heck
Frank, his share goes to his children, Harriet, wife of Elias Ghares (probably Gehris), and Lena, wife of George Young.
Evidence that Gideon was the son of Joseph (Jost) Hartline 1767 and wife Sarah Mutter.
Joseph and Sarah lived in Earl Township, Berks County, PA. Gideon was living in Earl Township up until age 51, in 1870. His age fits in Joseph Hartlines family. He named a daughter "Sarah" for his mother. He named a daughter "Lydia" for his sister and he named a daughter "Catherine" for either his sister Catherina or his sister-in-law Catherine (married to his brother Johann Jurg 1802). If you have evidence to the contrary, please submit it and we will make changes as necessary. Meantime, we will accept this evidence, as weak as it is, although I believe it to be correct.
Newspaper announcement of the death of
Christian Hartline
(1803-1880)
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, August 17, 1880
Died-After an illness of four days, at his residence one mile west of Cameron, Adams township, Monroe county, Ohio, August 10, 1880, Christian Hartline, aged 79 years.
The deceased was among the first settlers in the valley of Sunfish. He with his parents and other members of their family, migrated to Monroe County from York State in the year 1818, and four years afterward settled and has remained up to his death on the farm upon which he died, making a continuous residence of 58 years on the same farm.
The deceased was widely and well known for his hospitality; no weary traveler, it mattered not how tattered his garments were, ever left his door hungry. Hospitality was one of the prominent traits of his character, and one that seemed to give him pleasure to attend to, and one to which his many friends will remember with great gratitude, knowing that Christ has said, “Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of these, the least of mine you have done it unto me.” Having had a very limited education in his youthful days, he fully appreciated the necessity of it, and his voice could be heard on all necessary occasions in favor of our schools. About 40 years ago he identified himself with the Christian Church by being buried with Christ in baptism, and was one of the old pioneers that battled for the right.
So they are passing away, the old soldiers who have borne the burden and heat of the day, leaving bright examples for us, who are younger, to emulate.
Our brother has gone to a mansion of rest,
From a region of sorrow and pain,
To the glorious land by the Deity b lest
Where he ne’er will suffer again.
