Born in Iowa, Dr. Hartshorne attended public schools in Kansas and then completed medical school at the University of Maryland, graduating in 1893. He started his medical practice in Chicago as an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist.

Dr. Hartshorne came to Indian Territory in 1889 and started practicing medicine in Skullyville, near present-day Spiro. Eight years later, in 1897, he married a member of the prestigious McCurtain family, the niece of Edmund, Jackson and Green McCurtain.

He moved his medical practice to McAlester in 1901. In 1913 he returned to his studies at the University of Austria in Vienna.

In 1915 he purchased the practice of the late Dr. Henderson of Shawnee, Okla., where he provided medical care for the Rock Island Railroad.

In World War I, Dr. Hartshorne served in the Medical Corps. He had been a member of the American Legion since.

After the war, he moved his family to Tulsa in 1919 where he maintained a practice until his retirement about two years ago.
