HARRISON HARTLEY, a prominent citizen of Snake Spring, 
Bedford County, Pa., was born in this township on April 19, 
1844.  he is a son of the late John G. Hartley, a former 
Associate Judge of Bedford County.  (Further ancestral 
history may be found in connection with the sketch of Edwin 
Hartley, a brother of Harrison Hartley, on another page of 
this volume.)
  Mr. Hartley was educated in Bedford County, in the schools 
of Snake Spring and Bedford townships, acquiring therein 
practical knowledge that has been of inestimable value to 
him during his business career.  Since leaving school he has 
been very extensively engaged in farming and stock-raising.  
He now owns and occupies a farm of more than two hundred 
acres, which by care and forethought he has placed in good 
cultivation, his estate being one of the best in regard to 
improvements of any in the locality.  Taking an intelligent 
interest in town and county matters, he gives liberally 
toward the support of movements calculated to benefit the 
community, and for many years he has been a member of the 
Snake Spring township School Board, the greater part of the 
time serving as its president.  In politics he is a firm 
adherent of the Democratic party.  In his religious belief 
he is a Methodist, and for a number of years has served as 
Deacon of the Methodist Episcopal church.
  Mr. Hartley married on October 9, 1867, Miss Sarah E., 
daughter of the late Henry Nicodemus, of Bedford, Pa.  Five 
children have blessed the union of Mr. and Mrs. Hartley, 
namely: Mary G., wife of Harry Morgart, of Everett, Pa.; 
Harry W., of Peoria, Ill; Frank J. H., of Swissvale, Pa.; 
Grace L.; and Maggie E.
