Charles Hartshorne, formerly president of the Lehigh Valley railroad and for several years vice-president of the Choctaw railroad, and the man who named our town Hartshorne, died Friday at Peorion, Pa, aged 79 years.
Mr. Hartshorne was a prominent in the financial and business world of Philadelphia for many years. He retired from active life ten years ago. He began his career in railroad service and had been engaged in railroad business for 42 years. He was an important factor in the building of the Choctaw railroad and being so pleased with the town site it was named Hartshorne. Many of the early settlers remember Mr. Hartshorne as a kindly gentleman of great hustling ability and one of the men who kept pushing things lagged in the building of the Choctaw.
