Brief Biography: The Daily News History of Buchanan County and Saint Joseph, Missouri from the time of the Platte Purchase to the end of the year 1898 page 544 E.F. Hartwig--The wholesale liquor house of E.F. Hartwig,, 212 South Third, is known all over the west as one of the leaders in that line of business and the name has come to be synonym for merit. For personal integrity and sterling worth no man stands higher than Ernst F. Hartwig, a position which he as attained by many years of business experience, in which his motto has always been fair dealing. This house was originally founded in 1864 by Maj. H.R.W. Hartwig, brother of E.F. Hartwig, the latter become a member of the firm of H.R.W. Hartwig & Co. in 1869, and this firm, by the exercise of strict business integrity and unbounded energy, forged steadily and rapidly to the front and achieved remarkable success. In 1887 Major Hartwig, who had meantime served as mayor of St. Joseph, retired, and since then the business had been conducted by E.F. Hartwig, and is accompanied by the same success that marked the career of the original firm. Mr. Hartwig was born in Hessen, Germany, where he was trained in the grocery business. In 1862 he came to America and was a bookkeeper in the dry goods house of Stix, Eckhart & Co., of St. Joseph for seven years prior to joining his brother in the business which he now conducts, and which he has brought to the high standing it now occupies in the business world. Mr. Hartwig was married March 18, 1868, to Miss Emma Freidrich, and they have four children.
