Mr. Hartman took the pastorate of several congregations in Mercer Co., Pa., on Nov. 1st, 1856, and bought a farm and lived on it where the village of Shenango afterwards grew up. He was very successful in the ministry and organized the congregations in Greenville and New Hamburg. He was pastor of the Shenango charge for ten years and then entered the Episcopal church and served a congregation in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. At length he returned to Germany and for a time held an important office under the government. He was popular among his people and the churches were strengthened under his pastorate.
