GEORGE LENTNER
PASSES 99 HEARS
IN GOOD HEALTH AND LOOKS
FORWARD TO THE CENTURY
MARK A YEAR HENCE
Blessed With Good Memory and Fair
Sight and Hearing—Tells of the War
of 1812—Remembers Details of the
Engagements—Visits Lewlstown.
Highland Center, Aug. 22.—(Special)
—Take your dusty volumes of history
from their shelves, turn to the narra
tive of the thrilling incidents of the
war of 1812, follow your country
through its various vicissitudes to the
present time, and you will be in posi
tion to realize something of the things
that George M. Lentner knows. Mr.
Lentner, at his humble little home in
Highland Center, is today quietly cele
brating the ninety-ninth anniversary of
his birth and several of his descend
ants are here to do appropriate honor
to the event. Ninety-nine years have
rolled their cycles by since the birth
of George M. Lentner. Nations have
been created and wrecked. Men whose
names are emblazoned on the pages of
history have sprung into prominence,
shone a while, and disappeared in the
obscurity of forgetfulness or death
Much can transpire in ninety-nine
years and a man who lives to see it,
all, be a part of It all to know it all
and remember It all, is more than for
tunate. When one talks to Mr. Ijent
ner, hears him tell of the scenes j|A
witnessed whei^ a boy, time loses OT
majesty, and the listener lives, for ttfe
moment. In the dim past, for he is in
the presence of the past-
George M. Lentner was born in
Lewlstown, Del., August 22, 1807. In
the family Bible, now in the posses
sion of members of the family living
at. Bolen's Mills Ohio, the date la giv
en as 1806, but in the Lentner home
in Highland there Is a Bible in which
the date is recorded as 1807 and Mr.
Lentner declares this is correct. The
discrepancy Is explained by ihc fact
that the family, always devout Pres
byterians, used the old style of record
ing the years, "the year of accept
ance."
Time has been kind to George M.
Lentner and there is good reason to
believe that one year from today he
will still be alive and happy, and able
to celebrate with his children's chil
dren the one hundredth anniversary of
his birth. Happy? There is no ha#
ntnr nun in illn Mic irtnrt
pier man in Iowa than he. His kind
old eyes have lost their keenness, his
ears are dulled to the softer sounds,
his limbs are not as sturdy as they
were in years gone by, but his brain
is as active, his memory as true, his
interest in men and affairs as great as
when, In the prime of life he came
west, "to grow up with the country,"
and to make a home for himself and
for his family in the wilds of the new
Iowa.
A Race of Warriors.
George M. Lentner Is sprung from a
race of warriors. His grandfather,
Conrad Lentner, many years ago, came
to America with La Fayette. He lived
near the Franco-German boundary
with his young wife and when the mar
quis made his appeal, in the name of
The War of 1812.
It is those early days that Mr. Lent
ner likes most to talk, and a few days
ago lie told a representative of the
Courier about the British attack upon
Lewlstown in 1814, just before the
close of the war. "I was at our home,
just outside of town," he said, "and we
could hear the bombardment from the
ships in the bay all day. The British
were not good shots, though, and the
engagement could hardly be called a
battle. Our men killed fourteen of the
enemy and sustained no loss. The peo
ple made fun of the British, and al
most before they had left Ine harbor
men, women and children were sing
ing a little doggerel that some one had
composed:
The commodore and all his men
Crippled a cow and killed a hen
The commodore and all his crew
Cut an old dead dog in two.'
When he was 9 years old Mr Lent
ner's parents removed to Ohio. They
settled in Athens county near a set
tlement that surrounded a grist mill
owned by a man^named Bolen. This
little cross roads community has since
grown into a town and is called Bolen's
Mills. Here Mr. Lentner grew to
young manhood. In 1829 he ^married
Miss Sarah Ann McGonagle, who lived
only about one year thereafter, leav
ing a daughter. In 1831 Mr. Lentner
was again married, his second wife
being Miss Mary Imes. Six children
blessed this union. The first, a daugh
ter, died at the age of 4 vears. Two
sons and three daughters reached the
age ot maturity, but only the youngest,
Mrs. Matilda Kirkpatrlck, of Highland
Center, is still living. Henry and
Jacob became the heads of families
and both lived up to the traditions of
the family by serving in the civil war,
enlisting from Wapello county. Henry
had two sons and iwo daughters
Jacob was the father of four sons and
four daughters.

liberty and right Conrad Lentner was where the home of Captain W
among those who followed him to
America to fight the British. He ac
quitted himself honorably in the strug
gle and died at a ripe old age in the
country he had helped to save. Hio
son. Jacob, married and made his home
about a mile from Lewlstown, Del.,
and it was there that George M. Lent
ner was born. Jacob Lentner was a
warftor like his father. When the call
to arms came for the war of:1812 he .re
sponded, and he Served through th$
conflict as an officer in the American
forces. His son, a mere slip of a boy,
was the pet of the regiment, and he
had no prouder moments than when
his father allowed him to visit the
camp at Lewlstown and march from
one camp Are to another, beating his
little drum and Jistenfng to the cheers
and praise of the soldiers.
Came to Iowa In 1851.
In 1851. the Lentner family removed
to Iowa and Mr. Lentner purchased 120
acres in Dahlonega township. Wapello
H. Kitt.erman is now situated. In 1864
the family removed to Highland town
ship. taking a farm just outside of
Highland Center. Here the mother
died in 1892. at the age 84 years,
and soon afterwards Mr. Lentner went
to Ottumwa to live with Ills daughter
the late Mrs. Hlnsey. Three '.years
ago after her death, he returned to
Highland Center and has since made
his home with. Mrs. Kirkpatrlck.
The trlfl frqpi Ohio to Iowa was at
tended witlv many hardships. It was
made overland, the fatally traveling in
a two-horse wagon and a surrey. Three
weeks were required to complete the
journey.
Mr. Lentner does not look like a man
within a vear of the century mark
His forehead 'is as smooth and seam
less as that of a voung man. His
eyes, now almost but not quite sight
less. oeam brightly and light, with ani
mation when he talks. His laugh is
hearty, and if there is any truth in the
theory that a sunnv temperament
minimizes time, Mr. Lentner'B case
should help to prove it. He spends his
days sitting by the window, apparent.-,
never lonelv, though Ills friends
know he must feel keenly his inability
to read: Until a few years ago he read
the papers daily and took great inter
est in every event thev chronicled, es
pecially those of politics. Since before
the creation of the republican party
he has adhered to its principles and
voted for the men who represented
them. His first vote for president was
cast for John Qulncy Adams, who was
defeated In 1828 bv Andrew Jackson
In 1904 he declared his intention of
voting for Roosevelt, saying that al
though he had lost his first, vote he in
tended to make his last one count. He
was conveyed to the polling place In
a carriage and cast a st/aight republi
can ticket.
