Charlotte (Botkin) Zartman
A Stateline woman celebrates a big birthday.
The life of a very special Stateline woman is celebrated today.
Charlotte Zartman had her 100th birthday.
Her family visited with her today and reflected on her long life. Charlotte was a teacher for many years in Freeport. Her family says she had a remarkable gift for teaching children how to read and still enjoys reading to this day. They say they believe she's lived so long, because she shares her love with everyone. "At 100 years, with passion she was saying I'm so lucky.' and I think that's it. It's the attitude and the way she treats people and what she gets back from the relationships she has." Aside from reading, charlotte's hobbies include studying history and her family's genealogy. She says she's traced her family tree back more than six generations.

HIGHLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION -
CHARLOTTE A. ZARTMAN SCHOLARSHIP
Charlotte A. Zartman was born in 1907 to a farm family in eastern Indiana near the town of Modoc. As a young girl, she demonstrated an early ability to relate to small children and to teach them to read. After her education, at what is now Butler University in Indianapolis, she came to Freeport, Illinois in 1930 and taught kindergarten and primary grades in the public schools until her retirement in 1972. Having invested her life’s work in the community, she considers Freeport to be her home. Through the resources and opportunities available at Highland Community College, she is gratified to be able to help others with similar talents to prepare for work with children.
