Hartsell Puterbaugh, who has long been known more familiarly by the abbreviated personal name of Harts, gained his early education in the schools of Tazewell County, was reared to the sturdy discipline of the farm, and he eventually became a successful grower of and dealer in live stock, a line of enterprise in which he was associated with his brother Jacob during a period of fully thirty years, the two brothers having developed also a substantial business in the buying and shipping of grain at Mackinaw.
Mr. Puterbaugh became one of the directors of the' old Porter & Puterbaugh Bank, and later became a stockholder in the Mackinaw State Bank, with which he continued his association during the remainder of its business activity, he having become also a stockholder in the First National Bank of Mackinaw. He is a loyal supporter of the cause of the republican party, and he and his wife are earnest members of the Christian Church at Mackinaw. Among the noteworthy achievements in which Mr. Puterbaugh has played a leading part was the reclaiming of Spring Lake in Tazewell County. He was one of the eight men who financed this immense project and brought from the waters of that swamp region 12,000 acres of productive land in the fertile valley of the Illinois River, southwest of Pekin, the region having been redeemed into one of the fine grain districts of this section of Illinois.
