Berks Conuty, with whom he shared a large and remunerative practice. During the year 1855 he was witness to such marvelous results from the treatment under the homoeopathic sys- tem in several cases of disease, that, despite his prejudice against it, he was indnced to give it a patient and careful investigation. After thought- fully reading the "Organon " and studying the Homeopathic Materia Medica, he tested the medicines used in the practice of homoeopathy and became thoroughly satisfied with the truth of the foundation principle of Hahnemann- similia similibus curantur. He has since that time devoted himself with zeal to the new sys- tem. In 1857 be removed to Millerstown, Le- high County, Pa., where for twelve years he was engaged in an extensive practice.

In the year 1863 he was the Republican candi- date of his district in Lehigh County for the Legislature. Since the close of the war he has given no attention to politics but has devoted his entire time to the duties of his profession. In 1873 he was appointed examining surgeon for the U. B. Mutual Aid Society of Pennsyl- vania.

children,-Josiah (married to Amanda Scherr- er), Hettie (married to Tilghman Freyman), Sally Ann (married to Samuel Brown), Stephen (married to Ella Hartman), David, a clergy- man (married to Eliza Swope), Caroline (mar- ried to Paul Ehret), Lewis H. (married to Susan Handwerk) and Levi R. The last-named and subject of this biography was born in North Whitehall on December 23, 1836. He obtained such educational training as was afforded in the country school, which was supplemented by a course of study at Allentown and private in- struction under Rev. E. J. Fogles in the higher branches. On being thrown, at the age of seventeen, upon his own resources, he, a year later, apprenticed himself to learn the trade of carriage-building. In 1857 he established a carriage-factory in the village of Foglesville, Pa., and, in consequence of his careful habits and patient industry, soon succeeded in building up a profitable business. Being studiously in- clined, all his leisure moments were spent in the perusal of useful books. His thirst for all useful knowledge led to his reading several medical works obtained from the library of his friend, Dr. Helfrich, which resulted in the de- velopment of a fondness for the study of medi- cine and his final determination to adopt it as his profession. Accordingly, in 1862, he en- tered as a student the office of Dr. John H. Helfrich. During the winter of 1862-63 he attended lectures at the New York Medical College and the next season at the Homoeopathic Medical College in the same city. He enjoyed superior advantages while in attendance at the De Witt Dispensary, the Bellevue Hospital and the Blackwell's Island Hospital. In the winter of 1864 and 1865, however, he was graduated from the Homoeopathic Medical College of Philadelphia, and at once began practice at Fleetwood. Being the first homoeopathic physi- cian to locate in that village, he had strong prej- udices to overcome, but strict and careful at- tention to business, the exercise of an excellent judgment and a thorough knowledge of the specific action of the homeopathic remedies, have enabled him to obtain a profitable aud constantly increasing practice.
Dr. Lentz, during its existence, was a mem-
ber of the Berks and Schuylkill County Hom- œopathic Society, is a member of the Alumni Association of the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia, was for ten years president of the school board of the borough of Fleetwood and is an active member of the Masonic fra- ternity, in which he has taken high rank, being connected with Huguenot Lodge, No. 331, with De Molay Commandery, No. 9, of Reading and with Reading Chapter, No. 152.
In 1869 he married Miss Sarah, daughter of Hon. Daniel Koch, of Fleetwood. They have one son,-O. G. C. Lentz, born August 26, 1872, now pursuing his studies at the Moravian School at Nazareth, Pa.
