Served with the 87th PA Inf. CO.C durning Civil War and was captured June 15 1863 at the battle of Carter's Woods and held prisoner at Belle Isle in Richmond. He also served in the 4th US calvary after the war.∼The eighth of the seventeen children of Jonathan and Cassandra Ann "Cassie" (Innerst) Hartman, in 1860 he was a plasterer living in York Township, York County, Pennsylvania. He stood 5' 9" tall and had dark hair and black eyes.

A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in York September 21, 1862, mustered into federal service there September 24 as a private with Co. C, 87th Pennsylvania Infantry. He was captured at the battle of Carter's Woods (Stephenson's Depot), and incarcerated on Belle Isle in Richmond, Virginia. Following parole and exchange, he returned to duty with the regiment on October 19, 1863, and honorably discharged, possibly by general order, June 20, 1865. He also enlisted with the regular army November 15, 1869, and assigned to Co. B, 4th U.S. Cavalry. Joining him were 87th Pennsylvania comrades Andrew Shive and Isaac Wagner. He honorably discharged at term's end December 15, 1874. The late discharge date suggests the possibility that he had time added to his enlistment due to some infraction, most likely going AWOL or even deserting.

He apparently never married and died in Dallastown Borough, York County, from "croupous pneumonia" with "old age" a contributing factor.
