Thanks to all of you who checked out Hartsocks with me. As always two heads are better
than one and it is a delight to work as part of a group.
I can't resist telling about some of the Hartsock ladies and wives. Isaac's
sister Jennie Hartsock, a school teacher, graduated from Oberlin College in 1854. 1854!!!
Amazing!!
And Frank Hartsock built a little roadster which his wife drove. She was the first woman
driver in the county. She evidently drove all over the county with the kids in back as
fast as the car would go. There is a picture of Dessie at the wheel with the kids in tow
and husband Frank Hartsock sitting in the back seat! The delightful story is in the
book by the Historical Society.
The URL for Eliza Adams and her husband Isaac Hartsock is:

I prefer a genealogy which reads like a road map. I try and give a lead about where people
were and when. And how people lead their lives. I started with a bunch of dates with
nothing else - and some names with no dates or places. The Kosciusko resources are
fantastic. And with all the help that poured in I can give a pretty good account of the
family. Even got an email from someone who is collecting information about undertakers
after mentioning that Goldie Hartsock's husband Arthur Paulaus was one. He sent some
information about their being in Wabash and thanks to that I found him there disguised as
the Arthur Palace!
Eliza Hartsock's page will be changing constantly as new information comes in.
I'll be adding here and pruning there. And as always, there are discrepancies among
public records. If you find some PLEASE let me know. I prefer a state to a month but if
there is a date, I would like it to be right. Even the SSDI is in error sometimes.
