Biography

Ira Everett Hartman was born September 6, 1867, on a farm near
Polk City, Iowa, the fifth child of Joseph S. and Hannah Elizabeth
(Russell) Hartman. In 1885, the Hartmans and four of their
children moved from Iowa to the Dakota Territory, where they
homesteaded near Tripp. The family soon returned to Iowa
where Ira became a student and railway telegraph operator.
On July 18, 1891, he married Minnie Elizabeth Kaster (1871-1954),
daughter of Friedrich and Minnie (Hildebrand) Kaster,
who were German immigrants. Throughout the decade, he worked
as a carpenter, paper hanger, and painter to support his wife
and children: Jesse Ray (1893-1979) m. Bertha Nelson, Lillian
Victoria (1894-) m. Fred Smith, Verna Viola (1897-1979) m.
George Ellicott, and Margaret May (1903-1971) m. Clarence
Mitchell.
About 1899, Hartman became a Christian and shortly enrolled in
a four-year seminary course, which he completed in three
years, and was then ordained in the United Brethren Church at
Goodell, Iowa. Hartman served Iowa congregations in Des
Moines, Ventura, Lovilia, Stilson, Goodell, and Dumont. In
1909, the failing health of Mrs. Hartman necessitated a
different climate, and the family moved to Colorado where
Hartman served as a supply minister in the Manitou Springs
area. Later, he was pastor in the United Brethren Churches of
Mead and Delta, Colorado; Bayard, Nebraska; and Niwot and
Yuma, Colorado, after which he retired from the active
ministry although yet a young man.
In 1913, the Hartman family moved to Longmont, Colorado, where
Ira set himself up as an optometrist. Although no longer in
the pastorate of any one congregation, he continued to preach
as an evangelist throughout the area. A list of the Iowa and
Colorado towns in which he preached can be found on the
Chronology page in this guide.
In July 1951, the Hartmans celebrated their sixtieth wedding
anniversary. Less than a month later, on August 10, Rev. Ira
Hartman died at their home in Longmont. His widow died
October 16, 1954, in the same house; they are buried in
Mountain View Cemetery, Longmont.
