DR. EDWARD H. PENTZ was born January 24, 1826, and is the son of John and 
Salania Pentz, natives of York County.  The subject of this sketch had the 
advantage of an education, and began a course of studies preparatory to his 
profession under the instructions of Dr. Theodore Haller.  He subsequently went 
to New York and graduated at the Medical University of New York, about the year 
1848.  He then returned to York and began the practice of his profession, and 
through his skill and devotion to the duties relative to his profession soon 
built up a good practice in the borough of York and the surrounding country.  He 
devoted his time and energy to his profession until a few months before his 
death.  He died November 30, 1873.  Dr. Pentz married, April 14, 1853, Miss 
Josephine, daughter of Charles and Anna M. (Spangler) Weiser, of York.  To this 
union was born one son, Bransby C., who is a photographer, and at present 
writing is doing an extensive business in York, having one of the finest 
appointed studios in southern Pennsylvania, and is noted for his superior work.
