History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 1084
ALBERT JENTZ has been actively identified with the agricultural interests of Center township for a long period and is now ranked with the successful men of his section. He was born on his present property, September 29, 1872, a son of Frederick and Mary (Peters) Jentz, natives of Germany. Frederick Jentz came to the United States as a young man and for about a year rented farming property in New York, but decided there were more opportunities in the West and subsequently came to Outagamie county at a time when there was but one building in Appleton. He bought land, which was all in timber, cleared a small tract and built a log cabin, and soon had a crop planted. From that time on his advance was rapid, and at the time of his death he was one of the well known and highly esteemed men of his township. He added to his property from time to time, and was elected to positions of honor and trust by his fellow citizens, and when he died, May 8, 1901, the township lost a man whose place it was hard to fill. Mr. Jentz was married in New York State to Mary Peters, who was born in the Fatherland, and had come to this country with her mother some years before. Albert Jentz received his education in the country schools of his neighborhood, attending during the winter months until he was twenty years old, his summers being claimed by the work of the home farm. He was married November 17, 1898, to Elizabeth Jenkel, daughter of John and Catherine Jenkel, who came from Germany to the United States, and settled near Greenville, where Mr. Jenkel became a prosperous farmer. He is now retired from business activities and is living at Center. Mrs. Jentz, who was born September 26, 1876, is one of five children. After the death of his father, Mr. Jentz came into possession of the old homestead, and here he has carried on general farming and dairying. His efforts have met with well-deserved success, as he has inherited from his father many of those sterling traits of character which go to make for success in any line of endeavor. Mr. Jentz is a democrat in politics, his father having been a stanch supporter of the principles of that party. With his wife he attends the Lutheran Church at Ellington. Mr. and Mrs. Jentz have five children; Richard, born October 8, 1899; Amanda, born August 26, 1901; Victor, born February 18, 1903; Martha born May 17, 1904; and Harold, born September 6, 1908.
