Joel Everette Thomas Sentz(1863-1937) is buried with his family in Monte Vista Cemetery and was married to Fannie Jane Calfee. His father, Samuel Henry Sentz(1830-1891)married Sarah Frances Thornhill(1839-1892) and is reported to be buried in Oakvale. His father, William(1803-1870?)is thought to have been married to a Ruthie Preas(?-1879)who may be buried near Bedford, VA. Finally, his father Jacob (1765-1835?)supposedly immigrated to this country with two brothers from near Berlin, Germany sometime around the turn of the 19th century; his wife may have been named Christiana.Other spellings of the name Sentz are Sense and Sence.I would so appreciate any help since we have come to a dead end.
