Carl Lentz
Carl had his ashes scattered by his son, Kirby Lentz, on the farm where he and his six brothers were raised in Mifflin Twp., Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. It was their ancestral home, established by their great-great grandfather, Benjamin Riegle. The farm is located close to the Riegle Church along Route 25. It is now an experimental farm (Natural Acres Market owed by Ivan Miller) with large silos and other agricultural buildings, but the house where the boys were raised still stands. My son said it was being used as a bed and breakfast.
Kirby also scattered some of Carl's ashes at Woodlawn Memorial Gardens where his first wife, Anna Klinger Lentz, and his second wife, Sara Elizabeth "Sally" McClain Miller Lentz, were buried. Another memorial was also created for Carl C. Lentz in this cemetery. They are both for the same person.
