August F. (Gus) Hartman, son of Henry and Caroline Hartman, married
     Aline Dupont in 1928 in Pratt, Kansas.
          They moved to their farm northwest of Isabel. In May 1938, a tornado
     destroyed their home. They were both in the house at the time. Aline managed
     to get under the sink in the kitchen and excaped serious injury, but Gus
     couldn't find any protection and suffered head injuries. They lived in
     Isabel, in Mrs. Gurley's home, until their new home was built.
          Gus and Aline took an active part in community activities. They belonged
     to the Isabel Methodist Church.
          Gus continued farming until his health failed him. He died in February
     1977. Aline continued to live on the farm until 1985 when she entered the
     Siesta nursing home in Pratt. She died in May 1986.
