George Kintzer, son of Michael, was born Dec. 17, 1838, in Marion township, Berks county, and died Jan. 23, 1907, aged sixty-eight years, one month, six days. He was reared to farming, which vocation he followed all his life. When he was seven years old his parents moved to the Big Spring, in Heidelberg township, where he grew up. On Nov. 11, 1862, Mr. Kintzer was mustered into the United States service, having enlisted at Reading in Company A, 167th Pennsylvania Regiment; the captain of this company from its organization was Jonathan See, who later promoted to the rank of major for meritorious service. This regiment did much severe marching, built rifle pits, forts and trenches, was in the battle of the Deserted House (where their colonel, Charles A. Knoderer was fatally wounded) and in the fight at Suffolk, Va. It was mustered out at Reading Aug. 12, 1863.
Mr. Kintzer married Oct. 29, 1864, Elizabeth E. Ruth, born Sept. 29, 1845, daughter of Absalom and Annie (Fisher) Ruth, and three children came to this union: (1) Annie M., born Aug. 23, 1865, married William H. Fisher, and they had four children. Charles A., Frederick M., Harvey W. and Leah E. (2) Adam O., born Jan. 1, 1867, lives at his father's late residence in Berks county. He married Eva A. Stoudt, and they have two children, Ellen C. and Annie M. (3) Michael, born Aug. 24, 1870, lives at Hain's Church. He married Lydia A. Ruth, and they have one son, Lloyd A.
Mr. Kintzer purchased his late home in 1900. It consists of thirteen acres of good land in the vicinity of the Hain's Church, and on this place he died. He is buried at Hain's Church, in the East End cemetery, and was a prominent member of the Hain's Church, in which he served as elder. He was a Republican in his political convictions. He was a substantial farmer and much respected citizen, and his widow is held in equally high esteem. She still occupies the property at Hain's Church. Mr. Kintzer also owned a farm of sixty-six acres near Hain's Church, known as the Werner's old homestead in Lower Heidelberg township, a quarter mile east of Wernersville. This place he bought in 1890. It is now tenanted by his son Michael.
