Oscar Hartzell born Iowa 1976. Since Oscar was from Iowa likely he was related to the hartzell's that arrived in Pennsylvania by boat from Germany in the 1720's. Many Hartzell's settled in Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Kansas. There is even a Hartzell, Kansas and there used to be a wooden Hartzell propeller made by the Hartzell company for planes. http://hartzellprop.com/ My grandfather left Kansas about 1900 and lived in the western states. Oscar Hartzell is the most colorful Hartzell I have ever heard of even though he is infamous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.218.170 (talk) 03:30, 2 May 2005
