Passing of Former Missionary Noted
CHICAGO, IL (August 30, 2005) - Covenant World Mission recently learned of the
death last year of former Evangelical Covenant Church missionary
Marguerite V. (Norman) Hartman.
Hartman, 92, of Winter Haven, Florida, died March 7, 2004. She grew up
in the First Covenant Church of Rockford, Illinois.
A nurse, Hartman had been the sixth Covenant missionary to Congo,
arriving in the country in 1938 and serving there for 18 years. During
her time in Congo, she worked at Karawa; at Gbado, where she was the
missionary nurse in charge of the medical department; and at Wasolo,
where she was largely responsible for the beginning phases of the mission.
Hartman resigned in 1957 and subsequently married Pomeroy Hartman, an
Episcopal pastor. She continued missionary service through the Episcopal
Church, working with Navajo Indians. Her husband preceded her in death.
