He died without a will, March 11, 1899, at his home near Cobden. The administration of his estate was granted to his son, Rolla. Emeline died March 8, 1906, and both are buried at Casper Church Cemetery.

Walter was a farmer, and at his death willed his property to his twin sisters Debbie and Story. Debbie died in 1933 and willed her estate to Story. Story was the last of the family to live on the home place. When she died in 1939, she left a will naming as executor Melvin Lockard.

Her estate consisted of 175 acres and personal property valued at $1748.00. In addition to bequests, to her sister Alice Hartline Bartsch, and to her nieces and nephew, her will provided for a donation of $100.00 to Casper Cemetery, and for the erection of tombstones on her grave and the adjoining graves of her brother Walter and sister Debbie. That her executor carried out her wishes is shown by the fact that the three are buried on the same lot with the same kind of stones

Harriet, wife of George, died and George married Elmira Heller on August 24, 1874. Both Harriet and Elmira Heller were from Madison township, Columbia County, Pennsylvania, and are believed to have been sisters. George and Elmira had no children.
 

Note-It is possible that George was the son of another George Hartline and wife Magdelena of Mahantango township, Schuylkill Co., Pa. They had a son, George for which no further record is found. Likewise, no record of parentage of George born 1831 is to be found. Since the locations are close together, it is conceivable, but not certain, that the suggested relationship is correct.
