Edward
Hartman


 

EDWARD HARTMAN was born in June of 1865. He served a a member of the Camden Fire Department in the 1890s. 

When Engine Company 4 was organized on June 1, 1890 at 320 Vine Street in North Camden, with a two-hitch, second class Button steam engine and a one-hitch Button hose carriage, he was the new unit's first driver. The charter members were as follows; Company Foreman, Amedee S. Middleton; engineer, Francis Turner; stoker C. Barney Harvey; driver, Edward Hartman; and hosemen Walter W. Browning and Charles Berry

The Philadelphia Inquirer published an article stating that Edward Hartman was appointed to the Fire Department with Edward Weston in August of 1891. This appears to be in Hartman's case an error, as he had been already serving for a year.

By 1897 Edward Hartman had been appointed to the Police Department. That year's City Directory gives an address of 310 Mickle Street. The 1900 Census shows Edward Hartman living at 321 Mickle Street with his wife of fourteen years, Catherine, and their 10 year-old daughter Jennie. The 1906 City Directory states that Edward Hartman then resided at 47 Cooper Street.

Edward Hartman was still with the police department as late as June of 1909. By December 1910, however, he had left the department. He testified before the grand jury in December of 1910 during the election fraud investigations that culminated in sending John Golden, Martin Carrigan, and Daniel Woods to jail for four months in 1911.

Edward Hartman is not listed in the 1910 City Directory or the 1914 Camden City Directory.
