Curatorial Note:

The remarkable Ms. Hartman lived to be 107. She passed away on September 23, 2013. As of 2022, she remains the third oldest person to record an oral history, after 105-year-old lifelong friends Cecile McKenzie and Elizabeth Sullivan, both interviewed in 2017. The pair passed away within days of each other just a few months later. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
