"Rev. Dr. Charles Vinton Hartzel, who passed away suddenly Saturday at his home in Muncy, Pa., was born in Newport, March 9, 1856. He was a son of Colonel John and Augusta (Geibel) Hartzell. He grew to young manhood in this place. He graduated from Dickinson Seminary, Williamsport, Pa., in 1879, and the same year was admitted to the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he served for forty years, occupying some of the important pulpits. For eleven years, while continuing to pursue his ministerial labors, he was connected with the State Factory Inspectors Department, in which he devoted his ability to the betterment of conditions relative to child labor, and in codifying the state laws concerning child welfare. After his retirement from the ministry in 1921 he settled in Muncy, where he had previously been the successful and beloved pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. During the subsequent years he was busy in the work of the Anti-Saloon League, and in financial campaigns for church, school and hospital. On April 18, 1883, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Emma Tomlinson, of Montoursville, daughter of a well-known physician of that town. She died on April 20, 1923. To this union were born two daughters and four sons, all of whom survive: Amy, a teacher in Miss Beard's school, Orange, N.J.; Helen, at home; Carl, Professor of French in St. Alban's, Washington, D.C.; Paul, an Episcopal clergyman in the Philippine Islands; Max, with the Bausch & Lomb Optical Co., Denver, Col., and Ralph, at home. A brother, John G. Hartzell, of Des Moines, Ia., and a sister, Ada M.C. Hartzell, of Providence, T.I., also survive him, as the last members of his parents' family. the funeral services, brief and simple in keeping with his views, were held Tuesday morning, at 11 o'clock, at his late residence. The service was in charge of his pastor, Rev. E. B. Davidson of the Methodist Episcopal church, Muncy. He was assisted by the following ministers of the Central Pennsylvania Conference: N.H. Smith, E.F. Hgenfritz, R.H. ...The interment was by the side of his wife in the Muncy cemetery. Dr. Hartzell was a man of strong character and deep convictions. His mind was clear and orderly. He had a large command of the English language, and in his sermons, as well as in his conversations, used the very choicest words to express his thoughts. he lived in the depth of life and not in its superficialities."--23 Sep 1927, The (Newport, PA) News.
