William L Kintzel, the pioneer settler of Mentone, is a native of Pennsylvania, born in Millersburg, Dauphin County, the date of his birth being August 25, 1829.
He is of German ancestry, his great-grandfather, Christian Kintzel, coming from that country to Pennsylvania in an early day.
His son Christian Kintzel, Jr, was reared in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and during his lifetime was one of the most noted carpenters and cabinet-makers in that part of the country. His grandson has now in his possession an elegantly finished table, a souvenir of his artistic skill. He was a private during the war of 1812, and often subsisted on the most scanty rations, mule steak occasionally furnishing their table. He was united in marriage to Miss Polly Fourtney, and to this union were born two children — David, the father of our subject, and Charlotte.
David Kintzel was a tanner by trade, and owned and operated two large tanneries in Millersburg, Pennsylvania, he having built the first tannery in that town. He married Mary Rathfang, her father, Frederick Rathfang, having been a tanner at Millersburg. They were the parents of ten children, of whom nine are still living — William L, our subject; Charlotte, Henry, David, Frederick, Christian, Harriet, Mary and Emma, all married except Henry, and with the exception of Frederick all are residents of Kosciusko County, Indiana. In 1865 the father came with his family to Kosciusko County, and located at Stony Point.
William L Kintzel, whose name heads this sketch, was married in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, April 4, 1852, to Miss Mary McNeil, a daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Mason) McNeil. Mr McNeil was a miller by occupation, following his trade in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. He died in Ogle County, Illinois, in 1883, aged eighty-five years. His wife, who was twelve years his junior, died in the same county. Of their eleven children, six grew to maturity, all of whom came West. Mrs Kintzel and her sister, Mrs A Tucker, are the only members of that family living in Kosciusko County.
To Mr and Mrs Kintzel have been born the following children — Charles, Emma, Ella and Clara.
Emma married David Dillingham, and has five children — Ada, Tudor, Mollie, Charles and Odessa M.
Ella has been twice married, her first husband being Franklin Shaffer, by whom she has two children — William B and Francis. She was married a second time to Elijah Stansbury, and to this union have been born two children — Bert and Susie.
Mr Kintzel was a soldier in the war of the Rebellion, enlisting at Mansfield, Ohio, in Company L, Tenth Ohio Cavalry, his residence at that time being in Crawford County, Ohio. His regiment was assigned to duty in the Fourteenth Corps, under Generals Rosecrans and Kilpatrick. He was detailed as Major's Orderly, and saw active service until he met with an accident which disabled him, causing his discharge at the end of twelve months. His brother Frederick remained in the service, of his country till the war closed, and was actively engaged in sixteen great battles, besides many minor engagements.
Our subject has been a resident of the State of Indiana since 1865, in which year he located in Sevastopol, Kosciusko County, and opened a meat market. One year later he moved to Atwood, remaining there till 1875, going thence to Stark County. He purchased a farm in Stark County, but the loss of a large amount of valuable stock caused his removal to Marshall County in 1878. In 1882, when the new town of Mentone was surveyed, he came to this place and erected its first residence, which he used as a boarding-house, in which business he has since been engaged. The family of Mr Kintzel, consisting of his wife and two children, Charles and Clara, and a grandson, William B Shaffer, was the first to locate in Mentone, and at that time the prospect was very forlorn and uninviting, but they have witnessed the many changes which have occurred in the past few years, changing the wilderness into a thriving village of wonderful growth.
A grandson of Mr Kintzel, Charles Dillingham, son of David and Emma Dillingham, was the first child born in the village.
