General Notes: Husband - Lewis Kuntz


He was born in Bavaria, Germany, where he learned the milling business. In 1827 he emigrated to America and settled first at Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, where he operated a mill. From there he moved to Hughesville, in Lycoming County, where he conducted a mill for a Mr. Lyon for a time and then bought a farm located within six miles of Hughesville, which he sold six years later. He then moved to Clearfield County, at which time he bought what later became the Jacob L. Kuntz farm, paying $400 for the place. The only improvement was a log cabin and the land was mainly covered with timber. Six years later he put up a comfortable frame house which stood until 1903 when it was replaced by a modern ten-room brick structure. Later in life Lewis Kuntz purchased an adjoining farm and there he died.
