!A. HARTMAN IS DEAD
Paralysis Claimed Aged Pioneer at Wichita Yesterday
Premonition of Death was closely Followed by the Grim Reaper
Came to Hutchinson in '73
His Son, Joseph Hartman, Brings Body Here
Funeral Will Be Held from Dunkard Church in Lincoln Township Tomorrow

!While talking with an old friend, Mrs. M. M. Hathaway, at 321 East Douglas,
A. Hartman, 74 years of age, was seized with a paralytic stroke which caused
instant death at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, says the Wichita Eagle this
monring.

!Mr. Hartman ran a small stand at 518 East English street, and during the
moderate weather slept in a room back of his stand. Yesterday morning he
complained of feeling badly and at noon closed his stand, saying that he was
going to Mrs. Hathaway's rooming house. He seemed to have a premonition
that his time had come, for before leaving he stated to a neighbor "You may
never see me alive again."

!He walked several blocks and climbed the steps to the Hathaway rooms. He
seemed exhaused and when questioned admitted that he was not feeling well.
He talked with the family a few mnutes, then noticing that Creston, the
little grandson of Mrs. Hathaway was not present, he asked: "Where is
Creston?"

!These were his last words. His head fell to his arm and his whole body
collapsed. The family rushed to his assistance, but too late; death had
taken him.

!Dr. Thomas was sent for immediately, but upon arriving said nothing could be
done; that he was dead. The body was taken to the undertaking parlors of
I.W. Gill, where it will remain until relations can be notified and can
decide upon a place of burial.

!Mr. Hartman came here about a year ago from Hutchinson, where he claimed to
have lived for several years. The first night he spent in 'Wichita' he
engaged a room of Mrs. Hathaway at 321 East Douglas, and during the night
was seized with an attack something similar to the one which caused his
death yesterday. It was owing to the quick response and kindness of Mrs.
Hathaway that he recovered and since that time he has considered the family
his friends and their rooms his home. But little coud be learned of his
life, as none knew him intimately. His wife died several years ago. His son
will be here from Hutchinson this morning and take charge of the remains.

!Mr. Hartman was one of the oldest residents of this city before his removal
to Wichita. He came to Hutchinson in 1873. His son, Joseph Hartman, runs a
grocery on North Main street. On learning of the father's death the son
