Do you know of Pentz ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Pentz. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Pentz.<1>

Our sources for Pentz (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Pentz other than they indicate that Pentz would be found somewhere in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1894 and closed  in 1916.
