Of that class of public-spirited and progressive citizens upon which the security of any community rests, is Moulton Hartness, who for the past twenty-one years has practiced law in Greene, winning in the interval a remarkable and well deserved professional success. He was born in Butler county, near Clarksville, October 15, 1859, a son of George and Susan (Bonwell) Hartness, the former born in Virginia about 1835. He came west with his parents when he was still a child and located in Indiana, where he grew to manhood. In 1855 he (Moulton's father) came as a pioneer into Iowa, locating in Butler county, where he resided for many years. He and his wife became the parents of three children: Moulton, of this review; John; and Eleanor E., who resides in Clarksville with her mother. Moulton Hartness remained upon the home farm until he was eighteen years of age, acquiring his primary education in the country school and supplementing this by a course in the Clarksville high school. After graduating from that institute he attended business collge in Keokuk and he later studied law under Captain C. A. L. Roszelle, a prominent attorney. Mr. Hartness was admitted to the Iowa bar at Des Moines in 1890. He had previously located in Greene, where he held a position in the First State Bank, retaining this for a time after his admission. He resigned it however, in 1892, and opened a law office in the First State Bank building and since that time has been one of the active and prominent members of the legal fraternity, of Butler county. He possesses a comprehensive and exact Imowledge of underlying legal principles and a clear and analytical mind, and these qualifications have won him distinction in a profession where advancement comes only as a result of superior merit and ability. Mr. Hartness has accumulated an excellent law library, one of the largest and most complete in the county and he has remained always a close and earnest student of his profession. At Mount Pleasant, Iowa, November 28, 1889, Mr. Hartness married Miss Venia E. Tracy, a native of Ohio, who was reared and educated in Iowa. She is a graduate of the Moout Pleasant high school and for some years engaged in teaching. Mr. and Mrs. Hartness became the parents of two sons: Moulton, Jr., a graduate of the Ellsworth School of Stenography, who for a time read law in his father's office, and is now a student in the law department of the Iowa State University; and Joseph G., a graduate of the Greene high school and now a student at Grinnell college. Fraternally, Mr. Hartness is identified with the blue lodge Masons, of which he is lodge master, and he is also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias. Mrs. Hartness is a devout member of the Methodist Episcopal church, president of the Ladies' Aid Society and also a member of the Home Mission Society. Mr. Hartness gives his political allegiance to the republican party and although he has never desired office for himself has always taken a prominent part in public affairs. The cause of education has found in him a loyal champion, for he has accomplished a great deal of important work along this line during his twenty years on the school board, for the past fifteen years of which he has served as president. His cooperation can always be counted upon in the promotion of public enterprises, which have for their object, community advancement and growth. He was one of the promoters of the Electric Light & Power Company, in which he is still a stockholder and director. He is a man of more than ordinary ability and the position which he occupies in social, political and professional circles is the fit reward of a life of well directed energy and straightforward dealings.
