The Etna Elevator has come back to the Hartzell Family! In April of 2019 the Etna Elevator was purchased by Joshua Hartzell. The previous owner George Faulkner had purchased the Elevator in an auction after Bob (Curly) Hartzell passed away.

Bob & Ruth purchased the Elevator in 1968. For awhile, after Bob passed away, his wife Ruth, & son Rocky ran the business. Around 2000 the Etna Elevator was purchased by George Faulkner in an auction. George's daughter Becky began running the Business in 2015.

So for almost 20 years the Etna Elevator was out of Hartzell hands. Finally Josh Hartzell opened Hartzell Farm Feed & Supply in 2018. Soon after, the Faulkner's offered to sell the Elevator to Josh. Our family could not be more excited to continue running this historic business!
