Dewey Hartman
Dewey's Children
This picture was sent to me by Ed Cunningham. The photo shows the children of a man named Dewey Hartman, who was a farm hand for Ed's g-grandparents in South Dakota.
From his great-aunt Althea Kelcher, Ed received the following information:
" there was a young man from Montana? who came to our farm to work in the wheat fields his name was Dewey hartman he was very nice and i think his family mailed this picture to him the men would come at harvest time and work till it was over as i remember he came down ill with a ruptured appendix and died there i remember going to his funeral and it was real sad. Ed believes that Dewey is buried somewhere in the Athol-Miranda-Redfield area of South Dakota.
The photo is dated Aug 1904 or 1907. Written at the top is "Mrs. Hartman Argonia Kansas R-2". The children are listed as:
Dill (or Dee), age 14 years
Verna, age 7 years
Emmett, age 11 years
