The page I've linked to here says that at some point one "Michael L. Bentz married Vesta Firestone". Vesta Firestone is my mother (it's not likely there were two of them) and I've never heard of a Michael L. Bentz. Is this misinformation or what? http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/e/n/Bryan-A-Bentz/GENE1-0010.html |

What I've got is that Michael L. Bentz, b. Dec 28, 1896 in Dillsburg, PA, d. Mar 6 1982, married Resta Firestone, d. April 24, 1935. The discrepancy in death dates suggests something unusual, or possibly bad data. I have a number of other Firestones as well, though not her parents.Michael is listed in "Bentz Families of York County, PA and Surrounding Areas" by Michael Lau, on page 45. I'm attaching an obituary. So no, I don't think it's misinformation.BryanObit--Mrs. Michael Bentz Dies. Mrs. Resta Firestone Bentz, wife of Michael L. Bentz, well-known musician, died at 3:30 o'clock this morning at her home here. Death was caused by a complication of diseases, following an illness of two years. Mrs. Bentz had been a teacher of instrumental music here for many years. For 22 years she was the pianist for the Dillsburg Lutheran church and Sunday school. Surviving, besides her husband, are her mother, Mrs. Annie Firestone, this place, and a step-son, Charles Bentz, Panama. Funeral Director Kenneth Cocklin removed the body tot he Klugh funeral home to be prepared for burial. It will be returned to the late home where it may be viewed from Thursday noon until 11 a.m. Saturday. The funeral will be held Saturday with private services at the Klugh funeral home at 2 p.m. Rev.
