BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Eliza Jane Nuckolls was born in 1843 in Indiana, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Nuckolls. She died in Indianapolis, Indiana on July 5, 1900 at which time her residence was listed as Crawfordsville, Indiana. She lived primarily in Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana and Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana. She was a member of the Methodist Church in Crawfordsville. Eliza Jane Nuckolls of Bloomington, Indiana married Lieutenant James W. Lansbury of New Albany, Indiana on January 19, 1864 in Monroe County, Indiana. James Lansbury was a resident of Washington County, Indiana when he entered service as a Corporal in Co. G of the 13th Indiana Infantry during the Civil War. He enlisted on June 19, 1861, reenlisting on December 15, 1863. He was promoted to Sergeant during his service. It is likely he died during the Civil War though this was not confirmed. His marriage to Eliza Jane Nuckolls appears to have been brief and there were no known children from the union. Eliza Jane Lansbury likely married her second husband, Andrew Franklin Wise, on December 7, 1868. Andrew Franklin Wise was born in Pennsylvania about 1836. He lived in Crawfordsville, Indiana, after the Civil War where he worked as a photographer. A. F. Wise died in 1871 in Crawfordsville, Indiana. From their union came at least two children, Frank Kent Wise and Mary Wise. Eliza Jane Wise married for the third time on December 19, 1873 to David Wallace Hartman. Hartman was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana in 1839. He died on January 29, 1898 in Crawfordsville, Indiana. From the union of David Wallace Hartman and Eliza Jane Hartman came one child, Robert Hartman. Sources: Materials within the collection.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The collection consists of items related to Eliza Jane Hartman nee Nuckolls, the Nuckolls family, and the families of her subsequent marriages the Lansbury, Wise, and Hartman families. The collection is comprised of manuscript and visual items. The collection contains one pray card and twenty-four funeral notices, predominantly from Salem, Indiana in Washington County. The collection has sample calling cards and other announcement cards housed in a small box. The cards appear to have been created by Andrew Franklin Wise in relation to his fine art gallery business. There is also a Civil War diary written by James W. Lansbury of the 13th Indiana Infantry in 1864. There is a photograph album which includes images primarily related to Eliza Jane's marriages to Andrew Franklin Wise and David Wallace Hartman and their families. The album photographs look to date from the 1860s into the 1870s. Besides the album, there are several loose photographs in the collection. There is an 1894 photograph from July 4th of a group gathered on the Zach Mahorney and Sons furniture wagon. An oversized photograph of the women in the graduating class of Crawfordsville High School, 1890, of which Mary Wise was a member, is also present. Three cased images include two photographs related to Eliza Jane's first husband, James W. Lansbury, one of which is a portrait of the couple, as well as an image of her third husband, David Wallace Hartman. Indiana Historical Society Eliza Jane Hartman Collection Page 3
