Jann Rentzel Lehman is looking for information – particularly pictures – about her great-grandfather’s York County, Pa., business.
\nHere’s her query:<\/p>\n
I was wondering if you could locate any information on my great grandfather, Jacob Rentzel’s Farm Implements and Phosphate Feed Business at 15 South Main St. in Manchester.<\/a> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
He had operated the business for 24 years,1914 until 1938, at that location. I don’t know how long after that date, that the business was still operating. I have been looking for a picture of it, I have ones of family get togethers, but none of them show the complete sign.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
If you have any information, please e-mail Jann <\/a> or comment below.
\nThe Rentzel family, prominent in that northeastern part of York County, was integral in Old Tyme Days<\/a>, an antique machinery show, for years and years. Bet there’s information out there along the lines than Jann is looking for.
