He was born in Kinston April I

beth Andrews Hartsell. His
mother was a Jones Oountlan

live home counties to make Kin-,
ston their home.
Dr. Hartsell grew up In Kin

ger High School and worked
after that for five years with
the American Oil Company.
Then came along World War
n and Hartsell became Private
Hartsell, as did many of his fel
low citizens. He became Private
Hartsell on September 23, 1942
and remained in the Army until
January 25, 1946, when he was
discharged with the rank of
First Sergeant.
Thirty months of the 41 Hart
sell' spent as a soldier were spent
In India and Burma with the
527th Ordinance (Heavy Main
tenance) Tank Company. Eigh
at the^Ramgargh Training Cen
ter where his outfit was train
ing Chinese soldiers in the use
and maintenance of heavy tanks.
Serving in the same outfit
with Hartsell was another Kin
stonian, Henry Johnson, who
earned himself a field promo
tion to Lieutenant, while serv
ing as a master sergeant.
Shortly after being discharged
from the army Hartsell took
advantage of the GI Bill of
Rights to enter the Northern
Illinois College of Optometry at
Chicago from which he was
graduated In March of 1949.
In August of that same year
Dr. Hartsell hung his shingle out
at 111 East North Street in the
“Old Home Town” and there it
has remained, thanks to a steady
patronage that he has enjoyed
since his first day of practice.
On May 6,1960 Dr. Hartsell and
Gertrude Cation, a native of
Flint, Michigan,' were married.
They hajve one 16-month old son,

The Raymond Branch of the
Hartsell Family belongs to the
First Baptist Church and Dr.
Bartsell Is a member of the
American Legion and the Veter
ans of Foreign Wars chapters in
Kinston.
His favorite hobbles are fish
ing and golf, but his wife keeps
him busy in a good many of his
spare moments with the yard of
their new home. That’s where he
was “resting” Wednesday after
noon.
But during the rest of the week
if your eyes feel tired he’ll be
glad to help you correct that
situation at 111 East North
