The Entry Stone her father carved for Annie's parent's home, and her birthplace

Notes on Anna Quickel:
 

• Born in her parent's home; her father's stonework appears above that still standing home and is pictured above
• Anna's birth is recorded in the Keller Family Bible³. Her baptism appears through other researchers.
• Anna's twin was Christian who died Jan 24 1882.
• Census Records for Anna 1850, 60 and 70
• Resided in marriage: Annie Quickel and Michael BENTZ ì lived in York, at the second home west from Duke St. , on Market St.,. where the Yorktown Hotel now (1944) stands, where he died June 2,1856. She died May 20,1882."¹⁰
• See Bentz's of York Town and History There
• Tombstone transcription Prospect Hill, Old section from 1935's "evidences of the Bentz/Pence Family" shows  " Anna Bentz wife of MichaelÝÝÝ d 5 Dec 1802 ." Reading then a death date equal to her birthdate and so in in error. However, it shows the burial place for both her and her husband, and names her husband.
• Hamme's study  confirms death date and place of burial¹⁰
