Obituary
Lt. Col. James Nathaniel Hartfield, the third son of David Warren,
Sr., and Corine Grace Hartfield, was born on April 10, 1932 in San An-
tonio, Texas. His parents, sisters, Gloria N. Moore, Corinne M. Moses
and June D. Penn; brothers, John Simmons Hartfield, Lawrence
Hartfield and David W. Hartfield, Jr., and great grandson, Rashad pre-
ceded him in death.
Realizing this world is not our home and that our souls must spend
eternity somewhere; he accepted Christ as his personal Savior at age
twelve at Bethel A.M.E. Church in San Antonio, Texas. Later in life he
worshipped at the Main Post Chapel, Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
Lt. Col. Hartfield's military and civilian duties in the federal govern-
ment spanned over a thirty-four year period and resulted in extensive
world-wide travel. His duties carried him to Germany, Denmark, Ko-
rea, Japan, Republic of the Philippines, Republic of Viet Nam, Austral-
ia, Canada, Mexico, Thailand, Okinawa, Fort Lewis, WN., Fort Sam
Houston, TX., Washington, D.C., San Francisco, CA., and Kelly AFB, TX.
In 1962, he taught English, in Korea, for the University of Maryland.
He retired from the Army in 1976, Federal Civil Service in 1988 and
Palo Alto Community College in 1995; where he taught Economics
from August 1989 to December 1995. He also taught Microeconom-
ics and Macroeconomics at Park College, Parkville, Missouri in 1993
and 1994 at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. As a Federal Government
Contracting Officer and Negotiator he performed the more difficult
phases of contract administration. Contracts were primarily R&D,
(essentially exploratory development) pertinent to prosthetic re-
search and medical effects, including fixed-price and cost reimburse-
ment type accounts. He independently administered, determined
what coordination was necessary, what legal and regulatory require-
ments applied and what methods of contracting should be used.
"Love beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, en-
dureth all things." The very essence of that love will remain constant
in the hearts and minds of his wife, Carolyn with whom he united in
Holy Matrimony in Sept. 1975; daughters, Cheryl Yvonne Stenson (La
Vernia, TX) and Michelle Lynn Evans (Kailua-Kona, HI); grandsons,
Jamal Stenson and Christian Palea; great grandsons, Randy Masters,
Jr., Brandon Masters and Aahmad J. Stenson; great granddaughters,
Aaniyah Stenson and Aaliyah Stenson and a host of other relatives
and friends.

9 have kept the faith."

"In Time of Silver Rain"
9n time of silver rain the earth puts forth new life again.
Green grasses grow and flowers lfi their heads.
S7nd all over the plain the wonder spreads
oflife, oflfe, ofife/
9n time of sliver rain the butterflies lift silken wings
to catch a rainbow cry, and trees put forth new leaves
to sing injoy beneath the sky.
Ss down the roadway passing boys and girls go singing, too.
9n time of silver rain when spring and life are new.
Our dear beloved has vanished out of sight Ie call it death,
to him lfe beyond 9le has stepped across the threshold
that we call death; but it was only a step into another room
of our otherss blouse.Solider
Lieutenant Colonel
James N. Hartfield
It is the soldier, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protesters to burn the flag.
A Tribute of Love
Our family circle has been broken
.Wlink gone from our chain
C&u though we departedd for awhile

Oomeday we hope to meet you
someday we know not when
e shall meet in a better land
Znd never part again.m w
