OriginalNotes: History of Fayette County, Indiana by Frederic Irving Barrows (B. F. Bowen, 1917), p. 479-480
James Harvey Tatman, Most of his life was spent in Connersville. Born in KY, came to Franklin Co, IN when he was still a little child. About 1858 he came to Connersville and remainder of his life was lived within the city. Died on September 9, 1905 in his 80th year [Wrong according to death certificate.]  In the course of his life in Connersville Mr. Tatman was a photographer, which art he mastered and prospered in. At one time, during the war, he employed three assistants constantly. He was later associated with A. C. Cooley in the furniture manufacturing business; he was a partner with L. T. Bower in a saw-mill industry; at one time he was interested with Henry Moyer in the retail furniture business; he platted a large tract of ground in the western district of the city which is known at Tatman's addition; he operated the largest apiary in Fayette Co. and was engaged in an active way, but on a smaller scale, in other enterprises. He was president of the Times-News Co. for many years and upon it, as upon everything he touched, he left the imprint of a character of strong and admirable angles. His eagerness in the conduct of business exceed his strength of body. His ardor as a believer in Methodism exceeded both and his death took from the city a man who died as he had lived, and whose memory is revered today. The widow, Mrs. Josephine B. Tatman, who in her young womanhood was a contributor of verse to early-day periodicals, still resides in the beautiful family home at the southwest corner of Grand avenue and Ninth street. [Note that next article is about his son Edwin W. Tatman, then president and general manager of the Times-News Company.]
