Biography

Son of Royal Turner Bryant and Sarah Hartwell. For unknown reason, in the 1965 census, his name is shown as Amos H.

Married Margeruite Hilton on 4 May 1886 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They had 3 children together : Florence, Clifford and Marguerite. She died in 1890, from meningitis.

Married Nellie Sarah Tilton on 14 October 1891 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts. Their 3 children: Hartwell Irving Jr, Nettie and Gladys.

He died at age 92.

-The very unusual Hartwell name has famous roots! Hartwell's first name was his mother's maiden name. She was a relative of the historically famous Hartwell family of Massachusetts. Their family homes and land are still viewable as historical monuments relating to the ride of Paul Revere.

The Samuel Hartwell House: Built in the late 1690s and the childhood home of Ephraim Hartwell, by 1775 this structure was home to Ephraim’s son Samuel, his wife Mary, and their three small children. Samuel Hartwell served as a sergeant in the Lincoln Minute Men and was thus part of the fighting in Concord and along the Bay Road on April 19, 1775. Mary Hartwell remained in their home on April 19th and later provided vivid firsthand descriptions of the day’s events along the Bay Road, from the British troops marching towards Concord in the early morning hours to burying the British regulars who died in the area. The house was destroyed in an electrical fire in 1968 after being used as a restaurant for nearly forty years. The central chimney still stands, providing a unique opportunity to see a key feature of a typical Colonial house.
