CAPTAIN HENRY A. LANTZ was a native of Reading, having been born at this place on May 26, 1825. He was a grandson of Peter Aurand, sheriff of Berks County from 1815 to 1817. He carried on a book-store at Reading for a number of years, and then became the pub- lisher of the Reading Times, which he conduct- ed with great ability till the breaking out of the Civil War. Its successful establishment was at- tributable to his energy and good management. He then sold it to Whitman & Haas, and en- listed in the fall of 1861 as a private iu Co. E, Fiftieth Regiment P. V., for three years' service. Shortly afterward he received the appointment of sergeant-major, and accompanied the first ex- pedition to South Carolina. There he displayed much bravery and was promoted in consequence to first lieutenant ; and upon the resignation of Capt. William Diehl he was made captain, in February,1863. He was shot before Petersburg on June 17, 1864, and instantly killed ; and his body was decently interred under a large oak- tree near where he fell. He enjoyed the con- fidence of his entire company for his ability, bravery and exemplary life.
