Notes	"Benjamin F. Hartman was born in Shelby county, Ohio, July 19, 1844, and died April 14, 1904, at his home three miles northwest of Oswego, Kosciusko County, Indiana, aged 59 years, 8 months and 25 days. "Ben," as he was familiarly called, removed with his parents to Whitley county, Indiana, in 1853, and with the exception of his three years' service in the army and one year's residence in Kansas, his whole life was passed in Whitley and Kosciusko counties. On August 8, 1862, he enlisted in the Seventy-fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and served to the close of the war and received an honorable discharge. That he was a member of the gallant Seventy-fourth is proof of his actual service to his country. On December 9, 1871 he was married to Miss Myra Thompson and to this union nine children were born. Two of these died in infancy and seven are still living. He leaves a wife, seven children, three brothers, four sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. He was an affectionate father, a loving husband, a good, kind helpful friend and neighbor. No one went to him for counsel or consolation in vain. The funeral was very largely attended on Sunday, April 17, and was conducted by Rev. George H. Lockhart, of Warsaw, and held in the Baptist church of Oswego. The interment was in the Oswego cemetery and conducted by the G.A.R. of Milford, of which he was a member." The History of the Swander Family has him as "Beryaman F...born July 19, 1844."
