Notes for Israel Sr. Zartman: p108 Israel Zartman was b. 1/9/1812. As far as known to us, he was the first Zartman born in the Buckeye State. All who knew uncle Israel remember him as a kind, humorous, large-hearted, good man, always pleasant and smiling. In sugar-making season, we would ask: "Uncle, have you made any sugar as yet?" His answer would be: "Oh, yes, our sugar bowl is full." He had a contented, grateful spirit. He was a farmer and owned land adjoining the farms of his brothers, Isaac and Levi, but he was a "Jack of all trades"; he was a blacksmith, shoemaker,harness maker, willow-basket and carpet-weaver, butcher and farmer. Uncle Israel could do anything. In public prayer he possessed remarkable talent and spiritual fervor. All children who knew him loved him because he usually carried candy and nuts in his pockets and shared them with the little folks. He was twice married and blessed with seven sons and seven daughters.
