Joseph and Mary Hartmann moved to a 160 acre farm in Union Township, Porter County, Indiana in 1869. To this union were born six children: John, Josephine, Louis, Mary, Christine and Frank.
In 1893 Frank married Rose Ann Reibly also of Union Township, Porter County, Indiana, and he purchased the farm from his parents and lived there until his death in 1928.
To this union were born five children: Joseph E., John H., Antionette E., Frances C., and Louis R., and all attended Union Center School.
Joseph E. married Lucy Sester of Plymouth, Indiana, and lived in Valparaiso until his death in 1952. Frances C. married Merlyn R. Wilson, also of Union Township, now living in Valparaiso. John H., Antionette E., and Louis R. lived with their mother on the farm until her death in 1941.
At the death of John H. and Antionette E. in 1957, the farm was acquired by Louis R. who lived there until 1969 when he married Dorothea P.
