MARIE HARTMANN

Marie Hartmann will always be remembered for her passionate work in forming the St. Louis Park Historical Society and gathering articles, artifacts, interviews, etc. that formed the core of the collection today.

From September 1935 to May 1936 she took “post grad courses” – at high school? From September 1936 to March 1945 she worked at Sears Roebuck. From March to September 1945 she attended Minnesota Business College. From September 1945 to September 1946 she worked for Roy Bjorkman Inc., and from September 1946 to December 31, 1978 she worked for Gamble Skogmo. She was also an Avon Lady for several years.

Marie’s father died in 1943, her mother in 1957. One brother died in infancy; her brother Sig died in 1967. Marie died on May 14, 1996. The house she lived in all but one year of her life (a Monitor house) had to be demolished, and a new house sits in its place.
