John Riley Hartman
A son of Joseph Hartman and Etta Chambers, remembered in the current research under a different full name. His family connection and the question of his name belong here; the difficult newspaper history has its own separate page.
A name that needs settling
Sandy’s research identifies this son as Joseph Albert Hartman. However, the available Ohio death certificate appears to name him John Riley Hartman. It records January 27, 1905–January 18, 1937, Cleveland, and names parents Joseph Hartman and Etta Chambers, with wife Flossie.
Unresolved identity/name conflict: “Albert” has not been verified in the originals inspected for this update. The certificate name is retained here; Joseph Albert is recorded as a research identification requiring reconciliation, not a confirmed alternate name.
