Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [235-236]

           JACOB E. HARTSELL, farmer, section 23, Grant Township, was born
        Dec. 17, 1844, in Oxford Co., Ont.  His parents, WILLIAM and RUTH
        (CUNNINGHAM) HARTSELL, were natives respectively of Canada and New
        York. In 1855, they removed from the Dominion of Canada to Lapeer
        County.
           MR. HARTSELL was 11 years old when his parents came to Michigan.
        While living there the civil war broke out, and at the age of 19
        years he became a soldier for the Union. He enlisted in 1861 in the
        Fourth Mich. Vol. Cav., but was seized with illness before the
        regiment left the State, and was discharged. Ten months later he
        re-enlisted in the Fourth Mich. Vol. Inf., and remained in the
        military service of the United States until the close of the war.
           In the fall of 1868, MR. HARTSELL came to Huron County, and
        entered a claim of 160 acres of land in Grant Township, where he
        settled, and has since resided. He now owns 120 acres of land, and
        is cultivating 70 acres.
           He is a Republican in political belief, and has held the office
        of Constable. He has served nine years as School District Trea-
        surer.
           The first marriage of MR. HARTSELL, to MARY TELLER, occurred in
        July, 1862, in Lapeer Co., Mich. One of their children died in
        infancy; two survive — CHARLES E. and MELISSA C. The mother was the
        daughter of WILLIAM and MARTHA TELLER, and died May 12, 1872.  MR.
        HARTSELL was again married Oct. 5, 1879, to LOUISA WOOLHOUSE.  EVA
        J. and WILLIAM, two of their children, are living.  ETHEL M. died
        at the age of five months.  MRS. HARTSELL was born in Canada, and
        is the daughter of WILLIAM and MARY A. WOOLHOUSE.
