Notes
- !STATUS: CAP. JAN 90 SO: IDS from Margaret Dahl-748 (Aamoth) NOTES: George Hartwig was a college English professor and also an ordained Lutheran minister. He earned a B.A. at Stanford, 1913, Phi Beta Kappa and a M.A. from Harvard. He had nothing but A's at Harvard -- an attest that he was a fine scholar. He did all the work for a Phd as well but never got the degree. After serving two small congregations -- one in New York State and the other in Nova Scotia for a year or so at each place, he was offered a teaching position at Lenoir Rhyne College, North Carolina, and liked teaching so well he remained in the profession from then on. He also taught at St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN; Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio; Dana College, Blair, NE; and Midland College, Freemont, NE. His mother was Ida Greul, father was Herman Hartwig, b. 07-13-1848. BURIAL: Lakewood Cemetery. Ashes scattered, no marker.
