Carl was the second of two children born to Charles H. Rentschler and Sarah Elizabeth Filson, who married on 13 Apr 1890 in Marshall County, Indiana, where Carl was born. Carl had an older sister named Pearl D., who was born in September of 1891. I found the four of them together on the 1900 Census, living in Plymouth, Marshall County, where Carl's father Charles, aged 34, was earning a living as a day laborer. Wife and mother Sarah, aged 29, was home with Pearl, aged 9, and Carl, aged 6.
I couldn't find the family in 1910, but that same year, Carl's older sister Pearl married on 20 Sep 1910 in St. Joseph, Berrien County, Michigan.
On his 1918 WWI registration card, Carl described himself as being of medium height and slender build with blue eyes and light hair. He reported that he was single and living at 213 Pierce St. in Plymouth, Indiana. He served with Co. 616 as a cook in the Army during WWI between 1 Aug 1918 and 17 Jun 1919 as part of the US Army Ambulance Service.
Soon after returning from the war, Carl married wife Sally M. Williams. I found the newlyweds together on the 1920 Census, living with Carl's parents Charles and Sarah Rentschler in Plymouth, Marshall Co., Indiana. Carl, aged 25, had not yet found work. Also living with their parents were Carl's older sister Pearl and her husband Lewis. Lewis had gotten a job at Plymouth's basket factory, officially known as the Edgerton Manufacturing Co., the largest producer of fruit and vegetable shipping containers in the country.
In 1923, Carl and Sally welcomed son Richard to the family. He was followed in 1929 by brother Lewis Fredrick. I found the four of them together on the 1930 Census, living at the 213 Pierce St. address in Plymouth, where Carl, aged 35, was driving a car hauler for a living. Sally, enumerated as Sammy, aged 35, was home with Richard, aged 7 and Lewis, aged 1.
The family was still at the Pierce St. home in 1940. Carl, aged 45, did not give any occupation. Sally, enumerated as Sam, aged 45, was keeping house. Still at home with their parents were sons Richard, aged 17, and Fredrick, aged 11.
On his 1942 WWII card, Carl gave Plymouth City Schools as his employer.
In 1949, Carl's father Charles died. A year later, his mother Sarah died in 1950. They had been married about 59 years when death parted them.
Carl lived until 4 Jan 1959, dying at age 64. Wife Sally lived until 1978.
