He and Mrs. Jentz moved from Fenton township about eleven years ago, and have since lived in Algona and enjoyed quietness and rest which they had well earned, Mr. Jentz was a comparatively robust, man, but an attack of pneumonia coupled with heart weakness ended his well spent life.

He lived for some years in New York City and did a mercantile business there, and then moved to Jefferson, Greene county, Iowa, where he went to farming. The family moved to Kossuth county in 1882 and settled on a farm in Fenton township where the old folks remained until they moved to Algona. Their family consists of three sons and one daughter. The sons are William and the twin brothers, Frank and Henry, and the daughter, Mrs. C. H. Heinsohn. Henry and Mrs. Heinsohn are residents of Algona, and William and Frank are still residents Fenton. The funeral will take place today at 1 o'clock from the German Lutheran church, and the services will be conducted by Rev. Faulstich of Whittemore. The deceased ever led a consistent Christian life, and he died with a prayer on his lips. Peace to his spirit!
