General Notes: Husband - Andrew Pentz

---

He was born in York County, Pennsylvania, and was a child when he came to Clearfield County. He enjoyed the usual opportunities of a pioneer farmer's son, studying in winter in local schools, and acquiring practical knowledge of agriculture at home. At an early age he engaged in lumbering, and his first investment was the purchase of the family homestead, after his father's death. In 1860 he bought a stone pottery of M. J. Porter, and this he conducted for five years, when he sold out and purchased a tract of timber land in Bloom township, where he continued his lumber operations until 1876.
In 1862 he enlisted in Co. E, 172nd P. V. I., under Col. Kleckner, serving ten months as first lieutenant, having been appointed to that rank on his enlistment.
In 1866 he bought a farm, and in 1867 he installed there his bride. After his election, in 1876, to the office of sheriff of Clearfield County, he moved to the county seat, and on the expiration of his term of three years, he rented the "Shaw Hotel," which he managed for a year. The following year he spent in a residence on Walnut street in Clearfield, and then he returned to the farm. Mr. Pentz was always an ardent supporter of the old Jacksonian Democracy. He held numerous township offices, and was constable a number of years, school director for six years, and auditor for five terms. In religious faith he was a Lutheran.
